Ray Charles - Love Country Style [CD]

Released at the dawn of the 1970s, Love Country Style finds Ray Charles fully embracing his love for country music-delivering heartfelt renditions of songs by Mickey Newbury and Jimmy Webb with his signature blend of soul and sophistication. Backed by lush gospel-tinged arrangements, the album highlights Ray's unrivaled ability to transform country standards into something unmistakably his own. The record became a fan favorite and remains one of the finest examples of Charles' country crossover work. Long out of print since it's original release, this album finally returns to vinyl and CD, fully restored and remastered in cooperation with the Ray Charles Foundation.
