“ "Friendship" was Ray's third album after signing with Columbia in the early 80's. He had long been fond of duets, and this album gave him a chance to sing with some of the top country and western artists who were signed with Columbia and Epic Records. The album was a little slow to take off, but once "Seven Spanish Angels" with Willie Nelson hit the airwaves as a single, the single and the album quickly climbed to number one on the C & W charts.
There are some excellent songs on here. It is a fun album to listen to, and I was very happy to see it being released on CD with two new tracks. It has been a favorite of mine for years. I love all the songs, and it is really hard to pick favorites, but I'll touch on a few. "This Old Heart (Is Gonna Rise Again)" with the Oak Ridge Boys is a fast and fun song. "Seven Spanish Angels" with Willie Nelson is a heart-tugging ballad. George Jones and Ray sing about male bonding with "We Didn't See A Thing." They are each other's alibi for a guy's night out in which neither of them seen a thing. Janie Fricke lends her distinctive vocals to "Who Cares." Ricky Skaggs joins Ray for the title track, "Friendship." "Crazy Old Soldier" features Johnny Cash. This is an awesome album and will fit well in any music collection. ”
Personnel:
Ray Charles (vocals, piano); Ricky Skaggs (vocals, guitar); Billy Joel (vocals, piano); George Jones, Janie Fricke, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Mickey Gilley, The Oak Ridge Boys, B.J.

Ray Charles and Betty Carter - Dedicated To You
ABC records, 1961 | Vinyl Rip | MP3 @ 320 Kbps | Time: 51.41 | Size: 118.3 MB
Genre: Soul,Earl RNB
“ “Ray Charles's decision to cut an album of duets with then-rising jazz singer Betty Carter defines the phrase 'unerring instinct.' Charles responds to Carter's gorgeous voice and compelling melodic changes with some of his softest singing; you might say that this already masterful conduit of emotion got in touch with his feminine side on this 1961 date. The opening and closing cuts of the girls'-names theme album 'Dedicated to You' demonstrate Brother Ray's touch for transforming unlikely material into expressions of his own funky essence. His amused big-band celebrations of 'Hardhearted Hannah' and 'Sweet Georgia Brown' sit alongside sublime portraits of 'Stella by Starlight' and 'Ruby' on an underappreciated set that's a perfect match for the Charles-Carter sides.” ”

Ray Charles - Standards (1998)
[IMG]http://*******.info/avaxhome/4f/a5/000fa54f_medium.jpeg[/IMG]
Blues, Soul, Jazz | Compilation Rhino - R2 75210
Remastered by Doug Sax and Terry Howard
EAC Secure Rip | FLAC+CUE, LOG 409 MB | Scans 8.68 MB | MP3 320 kbps 147 MB
Standards is a 17-track collection of Ray Charles' versions of classic pop songs, culled recordings he made for Atlantic, ABC/Paramount, ABC/TRC, and Crossover/Atlantic between 1959 and 1977. There are a handful of hits -- "Georgia on My Mind," "Ruby," "That Lucky Old Sun," "Without Love (There Is Nothing)," "Makin' Whoopee" -- but the collection concentrates on little-known album tracks and live cuts. Although the steady stream of repackages from Rhino can be a little overwhelming, the idea behind Standards is attractive, and it's executed well -- it's nice to have all these songs on one collection, even if the live cuts can be a little distracting. Certainly, anyone looking for a collection of mellow ballads from Charles will not be disappointed by this set.

Ray Charles - Ingredients In A Recipe For Soul (1963)

Although it was a big commercial success, reaching number two on the LP charts, this record would typify the erratic nature of much of Charles' '60s output. It's too eclectic for its own good, really, encompassing pop standards, lowdown blues, Mel Tormé songs, and after-hours ballads. The high points are very high -- "Busted," his hit reworking of a composition by country songwriter Harlan Howard, is jazzy and tough, and one of his best early-'60s singles. And the low points are pretty low, especially when he adds the snow-white backup vocals of the Jack Halloran Singers to "Over the Rainbow" and "Ol' Man River." A number of the remaining cuts are pretty respectable, like the tight big band arrangement of "Ol' Man Time" and the ominously urbane "Where Can I Go?." In 1997, it was paired with the 1964 LP Have a Smile With Me on a two-for-one CD reissue on Rhino, with the addition of historical liner notes.

Vinyl rip in 24-bit/192kHz | FLAC | cue, m3u & Tech Log
Artwork | 760/195 mb incl. recovery | Jazz | 1957
This set is rather unusual, for it is strictly instrumental, allowing Ray Charles a rare opportunity to be a jazz-oriented pianist. Two selections are with a trio (bassist Oscar Pettiford joins Charles on "Black Coffee"), while the other six are with a septet taken from his big band of the period. Key among the sidemen are David Newman (soloing on both tenor and alto) and trumpeter Joseph Bridgewater; highlights include Quincy Jones' "The Ray," "My Melancholy Baby," "Doodlin'," and "Undecided." Ray Charles should have recorded in this setting more often in his later years.

1. "The Ray" (Quincy Jones) – 4:00
2. "My Melancholy Baby" (Ernie Burnett, George A. Norton) – 4:20
3. "Black Coffee" (Sonny Burke, Paul Webster) – 5:32
4. "There's No You" (Tom Adair, Harold Hopper) – 4:47

Ray Charles - Ray Charles (1957) - 1st Album
[IMG]http://*******.info/avaxhome/20/4f/00124f20_medium.jpeg[/IMG]
FLAC-CUE-LOG | 41:39 Min | ~199.77 Mb | +Covers
Label: Atlantic Records (7567-80043-2)
Styles: R&B, Soul, Urban Blues, Piano Blues, Early R&B
One of the first handful of LPs issued by Atlantic, Ray Charles (later retitled Hallelujah I Love Her So) is a bona fide classic of its genre. Weighted about three to one in favor of Charles' own compositions, its raison d'etre was the hits "Hallelujah I Love Her So" and the pounding, soaring "Ain't That Love," which opens the LP. As with other Atlantic albums of the period, its content was determined more by Charles' recent singles than by a real plan for the LP, but even within those limitations it's an amazingly subtle record. Charles does just as well with his interpretations of others' work, most notably the ominous, gospel-focused rendition of "Sinner's Prayer" (which offers a virtuoso piano performance, and comes courtesy of the pen of Charles' former mentor Lowell Fulson) and Henry Glover's wrenching ballad "Drown in My Own Tears," which is topped out on each verse by a gorgeous chorus. "Funny (But I Still Love You)" offers a guitar break played in such an understated fashion that it almost doesn't seem so much a part of R&B as it was usually being offered in 1957 as it does a part of Charles' early career output. The second side of the LP is even better, opening with the title track, a number that is almost too ubiquitous in its various cover versions the original has a mix of urgency and playfulness that's absolutely bracing, and the album carries this mood forward with "Mess Around," an Ahmet Ertegun-authored piano and sax-driven romp with Charles at his most ebullient as a singer. "This Little Girl of Mine" offers him in a surprisingly light, almost acrobatic vocal mode, while "Greenbacks" is a knowing, clever cautionary narrative that is almost a throwback to 1940s-style R&B. "Don't You Know" is as salacious a piece of R&B as one was likely to hear in 1957, and "I Got a Woman" closes the record out on a pounding, driving note. The original album suffered from deficient sound and most reissues left a lot to be desired, but in 2003 WEA International reissued it (as Hallelujah I Love Her So) in a 24-bit remastered version in a gatefold format that is a treat to the ear and runs circles around prior reissues.

Ray Charles - A Message from the People (1972)
[IMG]http://*******.info/avaxhome/37/b0/0012b037_medium.jpeg[/IMG]
FLAC-CUE-LOG | 38:34 Min | ~228.43 Mb | +Covers
Original Release Date: April 1972
Audio CD Release: May 5, 2009
Label: Concord Records
A Message From the People, Ray Charles' 1972 classic, is finally available after being long out of print. As part of Concord Music Group's reissue series, the album has been digitally remastered and the results are fantastic. This is a very special album in the Charles discography, with each of the ten songs carefully chosen by the artist to express his feelings about the state of society. Never heavy-handed, the album's focus is squarely on social consciousness. Many of the sentiments expressed in these songs ring very true in these economically-challenged times.
TRACKLIST
01. Lift Every Voice and Sing
02. Seems Like I Gotta Do Wrong
03. Heaven Help Us All
04. There'll Be No Peace Without All Men as One
05. Hey Mister
