Product Details

Ray Charles had already proven the country-soul synthesis was no gimmick with his landmark "Modern Sounds" albums in the early '60s, and "Love Country Style" from 1971 deepens that commitment. Where those earlier records shocked the mainstream, this one settles in with confidence, Charles treating the material not as crossover strategy but as genuine repertoire, the same way he approached gospel, blues, or jazz.

Released at the dawn of the 1970s, Love Country Style finds Ray Charles fully embracing his love for country music-delivering heartfelt renditions of songs by Mickey Newbury and Jimmy Webb with his signature blend of soul and sophistication. Backed by lush gospel-tinged arrangements, the album highlights Ray's unrivaled ability to transform country standards into something unmistakably his own. The record became a fan favorite and remains one of the finest examples of Charles' country crossover work. Long out of print since it's original release, this album finally returns to vinyl and CD, fully restored and remastered in cooperation with the Ray Charles Foundation.
