Modern Sounds In Country & Western Music [Double CD]

2CD Version (Vol. 1 & 2)

Having combined gospel and blues to help create soul in the late Fifties, pianist-vocalist Ray Charles turned his attention to breaking musical boundaries in the early part of the next decade. He started the process by exploring jazz which lead to a Number 4 album in the US mainstream chart in 1961. Its success emboldened him to turn his attention to country music. Enjoy those two groundbreaking country and western albums across two discs with bonus tracks.
