Have I heard this album before? No Highlights: Rating: 3/10 I could tell from the start of the album that this one probably wouldn’t be for me. The music in the first half sounds like the introduction to an old 50s talk show. The second half was pretty boring, felt a lot of the songs were very similar.
We all know that Ray Charles is a great singer and can play fun piano. Which is why when this album instead shoves Big Band music in your face it is so perplexing. A lot of musical genres from the last century have survived and thrived after they were the most popular music of their time. Blues and Jazz musicians are still able to build a following and release good new music. Big Band is shit and always was. It is completely abandoned in the zeitgeist and for good reason. This album wastes Ray Charles's talents and is basically a Big Band cover album. A shame.
Not my cup of tea at all. Mostly ballads and slow numbers that were pretty boring and forgettable
Not my bag
Way too “Big Band” from my liking. Sounds like he was trying to be the black Lawrence Welk with this one. There’s no energy to this music. Definitely not my thing.
I’m not really into blues, didn’t love this.
Not good
Damn, he can't see the bullshit like Tokyo’s Revenge. My jaw stuck from yawning and this music wasn't worth it
I don’t like his voice.
Too sentimental to my taste. Seams like a one track minded recording. Did not age well
I’m bored
IDK, not even listen
No
sick
I remember ray charles because when I was a child saw his movie
yeahhh
