Our Take

Ray Charles may be known for his soulful R&B hits, but his foray into country and western music on "Modern Sounds" is a surprising delight. This album takes the twangy, tear-in-my-beer genre and gives it a soulful, gospel-infused twist that only Ray Charles could pull off. The opening track, "Bye Bye Love," sets the tone perfectly with Charles' smooth vocals and lush orchestration. It's a bittersweet goodbye that will have you reaching for a tissue and a line-dancing partner at the same time. "Take These Chains from My Heart" showcases Charles' powerhouse vocals, with a powerful chorus that will have you shouting along in no time. The mix of country, blues, and soul on this track is a testament to Charles' versatility as an artist. But it's on tracks like "I Can't Stop Loving You" where Charles truly shines. The raw emotion in his voice paired with the sweeping strings and horn section is pure magic. It's a song that will have you swaying in your seat one minute, and reaching for the nearest bottle of whiskey the next. Overall, "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music" is a genre-bending masterpiece that solidifies Ray Charles as a musical genius. So grab your cowboy boots and get ready to two-step your way through this unforgettable album. Yeehaw, indeed.
