1965 album also known as Together Again remastered on vinyl LP!

The success of the 1962 Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music albums paved the way for Ray Charles' creative freedom as an artist. Throughout the rest of his career, he continued to show his deep affinity for country music. 1965's Country and Western Meets Rhythm and Blues (aka Together Again) features Ray's timeless version of the Buck Owens country standard "Together Again."

A really vibrant reissue posted on 10/31/2024 5 Stars May not be everyone's taste but it's a classic to my ears. This is kick back and enjoy music with a heady mix of country, rhythm and blues and schmaltz pop. The remastering is very good, offering a wide stereo soundstage, great detail and separation of the instruments and it swings. If you're a Ray fan buy with confidence. If you are new to his music then this a good place to start. The companion release "Crying Time" is equally as good.
