No no no! I really think most of these songs should stay with the original singer. He doesn’t do much for them. I do like the harmonica though. I guess his die hard fans made this album popular?

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

1/5

I was disappointed by his blues. I expected better. I guess I’m used to his older raspy voice. I don’t hear the genius in this album.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Brought back memories with her sweet voice.

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things
