DESCRIPTION Ray Charles reshaped the entire landscape of American music. Obliterating barriers of genre,
race, and audience, Modern Sounds In Country & Western Music became the first country album to sell over a million copies, single-handedly tranforming the once-niche genre into a mainstream phenomenon. Volume 2 hit just as big, eliminating any doubts about Ray’s sincerity . . . or his genius.
Tangerine is proud to reissue these landmark albums with historically accurate sound and artwork for the first time since their original issue.
Remastered under the direct supervision of The Ray Charles Foundation.
