Anthology (1989) more music like this

by Ray Charles

Perhaps the best single CD collection of Ray Charles' '60s and '70s ABC-Paramount material. They've also been issued on two separate anthologies, but for someone who only wants the essential items, this disc has them all over its 20 tracks. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

by Joe Cocker

Hip-O's Joe Cocker Ultimate Collection contains 20 original tracks spanning the gruff-voiced singer's 30-plus years of recordings for A&M, MCA, Island, Capitol, and Sony Records.

Ray [Original Soundtrack] (2004) more music like this

by Ray Charles

Unlike the soundtrack for his Jerry Lee Lewis biopic Great Balls of Fire, director Taylor Hackford didn't have Ray Charles re-record his classic songs for the soundtrack of his Charles biopic, Ray! Instead, he selected 17 songs of Ray at his '50s and '60s peak, skillfully balancing selections from both Atlantic and ABC to create a surprisingly ...

Ultimate Hits Collection (1999) more music like this

by Ray Charles

James Brown may be "the hardest working man in show business," Aretha Franklin may be the Queen of Soul, but as Ultimate Hits Collection proves, the most apt nickname in all of music may belong to Ray Charles: the Genius. Forget for a moment that fitting all of Charles' hits on a mere two CDs is not remotely possible. Almost any Ray Charles ...

Unchain My Heart (1987) more music like this

by Joe Cocker

Unchain My Heart was the release Joe Cocker had been rebuilding for. The title cut returned him to the Top 40, and the song "A Woman Loves a Man" followed it there along with it being included in the Bull Durham film soundtrack. A solid effort from a veteran. James Chrispell, All Music Guide

That's What I Say: John Scofield Plays the Music of Ray Charles (2005) more music like this

by John Scofield

With John Scofield, a big part of the fun is never knowing what the guitarist will do from one album to the next. He might provide an album that is abstract and cerebral, or he might come up with something funky and groove-oriented; That's What I Say: John Scofield Plays the Music of Ray Charles is a perfect example of the latter. Featuring well ...

Although Cocker's Capitol material wasn't as consistent as his A&M work, this compilation successfully distills the highlights, including the splendid "When the Night Comes," onto a single CD. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

The Ultimate Collection 1968-2003 (2003) more music like this

by Joe Cocker

Calling something "The Ultimate Collection" is fraught with problems -- usually of omission. Certainly over these two discs -- containing a total of 30 tracks -- there are plenty of fine moments from some of Joe Cocker's earliest material, such as "The Letter," "With a Little Help From My Friends," "Delta Lady," "She Came In Through the Bathroom ...

Legends & Lions: Blues (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

Legends & Lions: Blues is a series assembled by Detroit's Mack Avenue label that pairs its roster's veteran artists with its up-and-coming personas thematically. The first two volumes in the series -- Swingin' and Swoonin' -- were successful in their way. The Blues volume is another attempt at the formula and it meets with very mixed results. ...

Brightness of Being (2006) more music like this

by Paul Bollenback

Paul Bollenback, perhaps best known as organist Joey DeFrancesco's regular guitarist although he has led quite a few record dates of his own, gathered together quite a variety of material for Brightness of Being. In addition to four of his originals, the repertoire includes some Ray Charles hits and songs by Stevie Wonder, Neil Young, and ...

Street Talk (2005) more music like this

by Vince Seneri

Although he's not the household word his idol Jimmy Smith or the DeFrancescos are, Vince Seneri is determined to carry on the great tradition of the organ by playing what the album cover bills as "the new Hammond B-3." He achieves this brilliantly with a mix of classics (Thelonious Monk's hypnotic, easy swinging "Straight, No Chaser," a strutting ...

In Concert (2004) more music like this

by Ray Charles

In Concert is not a concert, but rather a two-CD compilation of chronologically sequenced excerpts from five live Ray Charles albums, drawing from recordings of concerts in 1958, 1959, 1962, 1965, and 1975. Overall, there are no great surprises to hearing vintage live Charles here, and these aren't as good or memorable as the familiar studio ...

The global influence of classic American pop songs is very apparent on Some Kind of Wonderful, Ilona Knopfler's impressive and multifaceted debut, which finds the Parisian-born singer (who spent some of her formative years in Hong Kong) tackling '60s and '70s favorites in a variety of styles.

The first of two DCC compilations to collect the best of Brother Ray's 1960s stint at ABC-Paramount Records, when he flew off in a dozen different stylistic directions. Included on this 20-track disc are Charles' immortal rendering of "Georgia on My Mind," and the sinuously bluesy "Unchain My Heart," the Latin-beat instrumental "One Mint Julep," ...

Veteran saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman shows off his versatility on this pleasing soul-jazz date. He plays tenor on four selections and flute on two others, and switches to soprano and alto for one song apiece.
