Pure Genius: The Complete Atlantic Recordings (1952-1959)

Ray Charles
Ray Charles' seminal recordings for Atlantic have been boxed once before, as the triple-disc 1991 set The Birth of Soul. That box contained 53 tracks, the best moments of what is arguably the best period of Charles' career, but Rhino/Atlantic's 2005 seven-disc sequel, Pure Genius, doesn't bother with merely the highlights: as its subtitle makes ...

Ray Charles
Taking one of the most interesting bodies of work in the history of American music and trying to narrow it down to one 20-song compact disc would seem to be the sort of project that's doomed to failure, and there's little arguing that this collection of Ray Charles's classic Atlantic Records sides merely skims the surface of some of the most ...

This eight-CD set should be a part of any collection that presumes to take American music -- not just rock & roll or rhythm & blues -- seriously. Atlantic Records was one of dozens of independent labels started up after the war by neophyte executives and producers, but it was different from most of the others in that the guys who ran it were ...

Ray Charles
Rhino's 2006 double-disc set The Definitive Soul Collection is the latest in a long list of Ray Charles compilations from Rhino, and it covers much of the same territory as the others: namely, it's a selection of highlights from his classic Atlantic recordings from the '50s. Since it doesn't have any of Ray's ABC sides of the '60s, it can't quite ...

Ray Charles
It's practically impossible to underestimate Ray Charles' importance in the history of R&B, and given his popularity, influence, and career longevity, it should come as no surprise that the man's body of work has been heavily anthologized over the years, especially since his passing in 2004. However, while most of the posthumous Ray Charles ...

This is a well-chosen 16-track anthology covering Charles's Atlantic years, 1953-1959. It contains the #1 R&B hits "I've Got A Woman," "Drown In My Own Tears," and "What'd I Say," along with other memorable recordings. The only reason it is denied a rating as the place to start listening to Ray Charles is that it is a U.K. import on a small label ...
