Product Description

CD Description

When Ray Charles recorded his groundbreaking Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music album in 1962 he was paying tribute to the music he had grown up hearing as often as blues and R&B. The 23 tracks in Kent's new compilation take their cue from what Brother Ray accomplished and provide a superb illustration of what can happen Behind Closed Doors...When Country Meets Soul . Most of the artists featured here would have heard country music in their youth as often as Ray Charles, thanks to the big 50,000 watt radio stations that could be heard from state to state across the lower half of the US. Most of them recorded in the southern studios, and often used pickers from the pool of musicians who worked on country sessions in Memphis, Nashville and Muscle Shoals. It's no surprise that they all sounded as at home with a country song as they did with a straight-ahead slice of soul. Here you'll hear some of the biggest soul artists of their time on some of the biggest country hits of the 60s and 70s. Candi Staton does Patsy Cline, James Carr covers Mel Tillis, Millie Jackson sings Merle Haggard, Brook Benton tips his musical hat to Jerry Lee Lewis, Al Green pays homage to Hank Williams, and so much more besides. Unlike similarly-themed compilations, this CD features only 100% authentic country songs and 100% authentic soul singers. It may not be the first of its kind but it is undoubtedly the best of its kind to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Album 16 Aug 2012
By Misty7
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a fabulous album; I heard one of the songs on the radio one evening, and the presenter said it was a newly released album, and that it was excellent. I decided to purchase it and I was not disappointed. It's really easy to listen to, and it's a great collaboration of the similarities between Country and Soul music. This is an album for people of all ages, and I can't recommend it enough. Incidentally, I was only able to find it on Amazon- I wasn't able to buy it in HMV or other music store, so well done Amazon for showcasing music that isn't just the run of the mill mainstream stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic compilation 26 Mar 2013
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'll leave it to others to rave about this wonderful record in more depth. Suffice it to say that this is a classic compilation full of truly memorable music. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music has no colour bar 22 Mar 2013
By Richard
Format:Audio CD
Virtually every star in black music has been touched by country right from the days when Hank Williamd was taught by a black street musician and even earlier when Jimmie Rodgers made records with Louis Armstrong.Its been an endless quest for the two strands of music which had much in common-hillbilly and the blues as both were the products of the poorer classes.By the time Ray Charles recorded his 2 Modern Sounds In..LPs the die was finally cast.
Those who claim to dislike country music can never be taken seriously and nowadays its simply a matter of taste
