Modern Sounds In Country & Western Music Vol 2
LP (Item 352506) ABC, 1962 — Condition: Used
The second installment of one of Ray's greatest albums – and a landmark in the genre of country soul! As the title implies, Ray's singing a host of tunes best known from the country side of the spectrum – but he's working here with arrangements by LA jazzers Marty Paich and Gerald Wilson, to completely re-cast the tunes into the "modern sounds" mode promised in the title. The result is wonderful – a style that gave Ray's career a whole new boost, and a genre that was a perfect foil for his rich bluesy mode of singing. Titles include "No Letter Today", "Take These Chains From My Heart", "Teardrops In My Heart", "Making Believe", and "Hang Your Head In Shame". (Black label mono pressing. Cover has peeling of the gloss, splitting on the bottom seam, and some light stains on the back.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
