In 1962, Ray Charles defied expectations and further cemented his reputation as a genius when he unexpectedly released an album of country songs. Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music was an immediate critical and commercial success. Arguably one of Charles most iconic and important records, his integration of soul and country challenged racial barriers in popular music at the height of the Civil Rights movement and changed popular music forever.
Following its predecessor by just six months, Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music Vol. 2 is widely regarded as just as strong, if not stronger than the first - the second made with the confidence that this particular formula of country & soul works. With three hit singles on both the R&B and Pop charts, including the #1 hit You Are My Sunshine, both volumes changed the course of popular music and remain a testament to the genius of Ray Charles.
