Free Music Review: Wonderful CD/DVD for Fans New and Old
Hit: 5 Stars
The motion picture Ray brought the music of Ray Charles to a whole new audience who may have missed some of Ray Charles amazing music. With the exception of a few songs, the bulk of the music on More Music From Ray was originally recorded in the late 50's and 60's. The CD opens up with the song "Leave My Woman Alone." This early Ray Charles song songs great. Ray's voice was much higher and smooth in his early years. So initially upon listening to this song a new Ray Charles fan may find themselves wondering, "Is this really Ray Charles?" This song was originally recorded in August of 1956. The song is followed up by the bluesy song, "Lonely Avenue," which is another Ray Charles song from the late 50's.
Ray Charles was very much inspired by the blues and it's evident again in the song, "Losing Hand," where Ray laments that he gambled on love and lost. The CD becomes upbeat again with the song "I'm Moving On." It is with the early 60's recording you can hear that Ray's voice has began to change a little. Ray's music can just touch your soul and the song "The Danger Zone," is one of those that will put you in a real mellow mood. Some of the songs have such a long musical lead in, you will think that the entire song is instrumental and then Ray will come in singing, like on the song, "Makin' Whoopee."
More Music From Ray doesn't not include Ray's most popular songs like "Hit The Road Jack," but it does include other Ray Charles classics and his famous rendition of "America The Beautiful." For the other songs from the movie, check out the original soundtrack CD. The More Music From Ray CD booklet includes an introduction by the director of Ray Taylor Hackford. He gives background on why certain songs were re-recorded and shares some of his memories with working with Ray Charles.
There is new music on the CD too. There is a 2003 version of the Ray Charles song "Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand," "Drown In My Own Tears/You Don't Know Me," and "Everyday I Have The Blues" which is a song by Chris Thomas King."
The More Music From Ray CD also comes with a special bonus DVD. The DVD features performances from the Rhino Home Video O-Genio.
