RAY CHARLES Genius Loves Company

Ray Charles recorded his rnal piece of music for Genius Loves Company less than a few months before succumbing to liver disease. Perhaps realizing Genius would be his swan song, Charles produced a dynamic set of tracks that span his musical passions: blues, jazz, big band, gospel, country and pop. The CD also features duets with Elton John, Gladys Knight and Willie Nelson. In spite of his ill health, which limited his vocal range, album producer John Burk said Charles was a consummate pro and would often say, "I'm not feeling well today. I'll take a stab at it, and I can come back to it later.' But he never had to come to it later."

LISTEN-Catchy cool guitar pop that defies the fact that it's out of style. Brings back memories of the Pixies and the dream of jumping in a bus headed for cities unknown, armed only with poetry written in beer stained notebooks....
