Free Music Review: A barely 5 star - but overall solid!
Hit: 5 Stars
So Brother Ray is tackling the Great American Songbook - that really shouldn't be any surprise as GEORGIA ON MY MIND can ONLY be called a standard by any means.
Yes, Ray perhaps lacks the depth of phrasing and nuances found in Sinatra's or Nat King Cole'; but singing underneath lush strings on the ballads and a swinging band on the uptempo numbers, Ray inflects his own unique style of blues, gospel etc and makes all the songs his own.
The arrangements are superb and never get in Ray's way but support him!
This perhaps is my favorite side of Ray - combining the standards with his unique style - IT'S A WINNER!
Standards Poster
This CD is the perfect gift for someone (perhaps a new friend from Mars) who has never heard Ray Charles. With tracks such as "Georgia on my Mind," "Come Rain or Come Shine," "Without a Song," "Ruby," "Ol' Man River," and "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," this is a feast of vintage artistry from one of America's premier performers, a man Frank Sinatra called "the only genius in the business." Featured musicians include Basie and Ellington veterans. For a one-volume presentation of popular music, this collection is hard to top. --Stanley BoothBlues Music CDs
