I Know the Vinyl Album Not the CD:

I grew up listening to this album that belonged to my late father. When he was "bar-b-queing" on the patio in the backyard, he'd have his speakers outside from the "Hi-Fi" in the den, and one of the albums he'd play was "Ray Charles, Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music." As kids, our favorite was my Dad's favorites, "Born To Lose" and "I Can't Stop Loving You." The day they announced "Sir" Ray had died, I pulled out that album and played it three times. It still sounds good today. You can't go wrong... more info

modern sounds in country music:

I was the big age of 21 when I first heard the major song of I Can't Stop Loving You and still find it to be the best work of this song then and even now over 30 years. When I became aware of the album the same feelings figured over this masterpiece of Ray Charles. He deserves the winning of the LIFE ACHIEVEMENT awards for all of his shown originality, talent, taste, and showmanship throughout these years. Thank you Ray! I can't compliment this gentlement enough so I better close only to suggest the public... more info

A new sad day.:

Although I knew that the day would come soon that Brother Ray would pass on, but it still feels like the day came too soon. Ray Charles is one of my most cherished icons on American music. He's done so much! He's taken risks on new ideas even when his advisors were totally against it. This album of "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music" proves that. He was told that a black man shouldn't do country music, but Ray said that it was in his heart to do it. And it worked! It ended up being his best selling... more info
