, May 20, 2000Reviewer: lovesickgenius - See all lovesickgenius's reviewsit seems he best things in life are the most difficult to find, and this record is no different. you may find it collecting dust in your grandfathers old record collection, or stuffed at the bottom of a stack of used cds at the local store, but should you find it, and listen to it, you will be enthralled. from the upbeat remake of "bye bye love" you will know this isnt a country and western album, but country lyrics phrased in the inimitable style of brother ray. and if youve ever been a victim of unrequited love (and who hasnt) then the indelibly moving second track "you dont know me", has just the pathos youve been seeking... ...

Pro Reviews: Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, Vol. 2
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Having struck the mother lode with Vol. 1 of this genre-busting concept, "Brother Ray," producer Sid Feller, and ABC-Paramount went for another helping and put it out immediately. The idea was basically the same -- raid the then-plentiful coffers of Nashville for songs and turn them into Ray Charles material with either a big band or a carpet of strings and choir. This time, though, instead of a random mix of backgrounds, the big band tracks -- again arranged by Gerald Wilson in New York -- went on side one, and the strings/choir numbers -- again arranged by Marty Paich in Hollywood -- were placed on side two. Saleswise, it couldn't miss, but, more importantly, Vol. 2 defied the curse of the sequel and was just as much of an artistic triumph as its predecessor, if not as immediately startling. Charles' transfiguration of "You Are My Sunshine" sets the tone, and, as before, there's a good quota of Don Gibson material; "Don't Tell Me Your Troubles" becomes a fast gospel rouser and "Oh Lonesome Me" a frantic big band number. Paich lays on the '50s and early-'60s Muzak with an almost gleeful, over-the-top commercial slickness that with an ordinary artist would have been embarrassing. But the miracle is that Charles' hurt, tortured, soulfully twisting voice transforms the backgrounds as well as the material; you believe what he's singing. It appealed across the board, from the teenage singles-buying crowd to adult consumers of easy listening albums and Charles' core black audience -- and even those who cried "sellout" probably took some secret guilty pleasures from these recordings. While Charles didn't get a number one chartbuster à la "I Can't Stop Loving You" out of this package, "Sunshine" got up to number seven, and "Take These Chains From My Heart," with its Shearing-like piano solo and big string chart, made it to number eight -- which wasn't shabby at all. - Richard S. Ginell, All Music Guide |

Pros: Volume 2 is not the same as volume 1
Cons: Different songs
YOU list Volume 2 - but you illistrate the cover and list the tracks for volume 1.
You are confusing the two albums, and confusing the issue!
