Our Take

Ray Charles In Antibes 1961 is a musical time machine that transports you straight to the French Riviera in the swinging sixties. This live album captures the legendary Ray Charles at the peak of his powers, serving up a sizzling set of soulful classics with style and panache.

From the moment Ray hits the stage, you know you're in for a treat. His velvet voice wraps around you like a warm hug, while his fingers dance effortlessly across the keys of his beloved piano. The audience hangs on his every word, clapping and cheering like their lives depend on it.

Standout tracks include the infectious groove of "What'd I Say" and the bittersweet longing of "Georgia on My Mind." But it's Charles' playful banter and infectious energy that really steal the show. He's a magnetic presence, effortlessly blending soul, jazz, and blues into one irresistible cocktail.

The band is on fire too, effortlessly keeping up with Ray's dynamic shifts and spontaneous flourishes. Each musician gets a chance to shine, adding layers of depth and emotion to the already rich tapestry of sound.

In Antibes 1961 is a must-listen for any fan of Ray Charles or anyone looking to inject some joy and soul into their lives. So grab a glass of champagne, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to Ray!
