"Hey, No Pressure" was the first taste of Ouroboros, Ray LaMontagne's sixth album, turning up online on January 20, 2016, about six weeks before the record itself arrived that March. My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James produced the album, and he's all over this track: electric guitar next to LaMontagne's, saxophone and backing vocals.
LaMontagne wrote it on his own and sings it, playing acoustic guitar as well as electric, with Seth Kauffman on bass guitar and Dave Givan on drums, and Kevin Ratterman recorded and mixed it. When LaMontagne took the album out on the road, the rest of My Morning Jacket, minus James, came along for the ride.
