Spotify: Apple Music: Amazon: “Best Of Modern Sounds“ Exclusive: Regarded by many critics as Ray Charles' best studio albums, Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music Volumes 1 & 2 have been considered by countless music publications to not only be landmark albums in American music but some of the greatest albums ever recorded. Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music Vol.1 became an instant classic when it was first released in 1962. The album's integration of soul and country music bent racial barriers in popular music, amid the height of the Civil Rights Movement. In the process of recording the album, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to exercise complete artistic control over his own recording career. The album charted at #1 for 17 weeks and was certified RIAA Gold – the first country album to ever achieve that honor. Since then, Vol. 1 has since been inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame, along with its chart-topping single “I Can’t Stop Loving You”, for historical significance. The success led to the recording of Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, Vol. 2. Focusing more on balladry, one side featured performances by the Ray Charles Big Band with the Raelettes, and the other with a string section and the Jack Halloran Singers. Like its predecessor, it was released to both critical and commercial acclaim. Both volumes are now available on remastered CD, digital and vinyl, with a deluxe audiophile vinyl package coming in the spring. Follow Ray Charles:
