Time to take a road trip around this great country we call the US of A. And who better to be our tour guide than the incredible Ray Charles.
He had over 1,700 listings in discogs, the website I use to catalog my vinyl collections. And it’s not easy to catalog just what genre this genius belongs to.
Well, he belongs to them all: pop, blues, jazz, gospel, country, and rock.
So get ready to hear a guy who once tried to sell an electric piano to Jake and Elwood Blues, “2,000 bucks and it's yours. You can take it home with you. As a matter of fact, I'll throw in the black keys for free!" In Volume 232: Ray on the Road.
For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
