Though Ray Charles, one of the greatest singers of the 20th century, was never in need of vocal assistance, he was no stranger to duets either (one of his finest records is a duet album with Betty Carter). For as much of a musical giant as he ...    Full Description

3 stars Good but not the best
This album is good in a couple of ways. The people singing with Ray Charles are at the top of their game for the most part but Ray, whom I love, is obviously not at his peak. This is a great album for reasons of nostalgia but earlier albums by Ray Charles showcase his brilliance much more.

I thought there would me more of Ray Charles on this. It is mostly guest performers. I did not understand what this album was trying to accomplish--a tribute to him, certainly these are not his songs.

5 stars From a musician and music lover
Ray Charles has always been on of the musicians and entertainers I have admired. This, his last CD, is my favorite ever of his great music. All the lovers of great music should have it in their collection. Dewey Hodgkinson -

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones Come Away With Me CD  (2002)

Genius Loves Company album
CD $14.69  4 stars Audio Samples
COME AWAY WITH ME won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical). "Don't Know Why" won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Arif Mardin won the 2003 Grammy Award for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical). A direct descendant from the pedigree of one of the 20th century's virtuosos, Norah Jones might not be on such a lofty artistic level as her dad Ravi Shankar, but certainly inherited some musical intuition from him. With nary a sitar nor raga within earshot, the young newcomer sounds very much an assimilated, western, 21st century pop-jazz singer. One thing that separates her from the pack is Ms. Jones' own piano stylings--not flashy, but deftly doubling or echoing her voice--that discreetly act as the glue holding together these airy, ...

This is a Hyper CD, which contains regular audio tracks and also provides a link to the artist's website with the help of a web browser. After the unexpected runaway success of COME AWAY WITH ME, where to next? The good news about Norah Jones's sophomore effort is that she and producer Arif Mardin decided to leave well enough alone in most regards. There are no screeching guitars, thumping drum machines, or padding synthesizers, and most of the tempos are slow or laid-back--way back. Guests Garth Hudson and Levon Helm of the Band contribute to "What Am I to You?" and Dolly Parton makes an appearance on bassist Lee Alexander's "Creepin' In." Jones's backing group, the Handsome Band, provides just the right stripped-down accompaniments and subtle touches to support the blessing ...

Diana Krall Girl In The Other Room CD  (2004) Enhanced CD

Genius Loves Company songs
CD $15.65  2.9 stars Audio Samples
It may or may not be significant that Diana Krall's first album of new material since the ascendance of Norah Jones is the former's least jazzy, most pop-savvy album of her career. In any case, it marks Krall's biggest departure to date; THE GIRL IN THE OTHER ROOM is almost entirely devoid of the jazz standards that constituted her previous repertoire, and it contains her ...
