2	The Birth of a Legend (1992) more music like this by Ray Charles Of all the countless compilations that have been stitched together of Ray Charles' early sides for Jack Lauderdale's Swing Time Records, this two-disc box is the only CD package that treats these enormously important works with the reverent respect that they deserve (meaning decent mono sound quality instead of murky electronic reprocessed stereo ... see all copies from $24.71! new only from $24.71!

9	The Complete Swing Time & Down Beat Recordings 1949-1952 (1997) more music like this by Ray Charles The light blues and jazz of Ray Charles' early recordings were heavily influenced by Nat King Cole, and Charles frequently recorded in a similar trio format. His sound changed dramatically soon after he signed to Atlantic in 1952: His singing became more forceful and confident, and his rock 'n' soul performances were unlike anything he had done ... see all copies from $16.27! new only from $17.89!
10	Blues Before Sunrise [ZYX] (2002) more music like this by Ray Charles Not to be confused with the '60s Dynamic release of the same name, Blues Before Sunrise is actually a stellar compilation of some of pianist/vocalist Ray Charles' best early cuts from the '50s through the '60s. This is Charles as postwar piano maverick, often crossing between raw Amos Milburn-style blues tracks and Nat King Cole-inflected jazz ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $5.25!
11 view cover	Confession Blues (2001) more music like this by Ray Charles This three-disc compendium of Ray Charles' earliest sides is a portrait (and not a very good sounding one at that) of Charles as a blues singer and a Nat King Cole-like ballad singer (disc three in particular has the latter), before the gospel went into his performances. Charles was a fine performer early on, but this is not the same Ray Charles ... see all copies from $6.92! new only from $6.92!

17 view cover	The Essential Collection [Metro] (2005) more music like this by Ray Charles Metro's 2005 compilation The Essential Collection is a 24-track sampler of Ray Charles' early recordings -- meaning his Swingtime sides cut between 1949 and 1951. This is long before he started having hits on Atlantic, so there's not much here that's familiar, but there is much here that's good, even if there are times that Charles does show the ... see all copies from $13.27! new only from $13.27!
18 view cover	The Essentials [Big Eye] (2006) more music like this by Ray Charles see all copies from $7.13! new only from $7.13!

20 view cover	Rockin' Chair Blues [Delta] (2004) more music like this by Ray Charles This brief selection from Delta Records features early sides from Ray Charles at a time when he was more of a crooner than the gospel-fueled soulman and icon he was to become. These jazzy and light tracks are pleasant enough, but hardly distinctive, although "Rockin' Chair Blues" has an elegant dignity, and Charles does break out a little on ... see all copies from $2.04! new only from $2.04!
21 view cover	Ain't That Fine (1994) more music like this by Ray Charles Although the exact recording dates are not given, this reissue CD from the budget Drive Archive label is quite historical. The 14 selections are taken from Ray Charles's first sessions and they generally feature the pianist/vocalist in a trio with guitar and bass. Heavily influenced at the time by both Charles Brown and Nat King Cole, Charles is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
22 view cover	Essential Ray Charles: The Very Best of the Early Years (2006) more music like this by Ray Charles It bears a very similar title to Metro's 2005 comp The Essential Collection, but Metro's 2006 comp The Essential Ray Charles: The Very Best of the Early Years is 11 tracks longer than their other set, and has a second disc to boot. Nevertheless, it covers the same ground -- his pre-Atlantic work for Swingtime, cut between 1949 and 1951 -- as the ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
23 view cover	The Blues All Night Long (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.99! new only from $3.99!
24 view cover	Ray Charles: Members Edition (1997) more music like this by Ray Charles see all copies from $12.72! new only from $12.72!
25 view cover	20 Golden Pieces of Ray Charles (1990) more music like this by Ray Charles A low-budget anthology that tries to pick and choose between the best Charles cuts on Atlantic and ABC-Paramount. It's strictly for the novice, and isn't even the best set that could be obtained on that basis. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.14! new only from $3.14!
