Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music is a 1962 music album by Ray Charles, often regarded as one of the best — if not the best — of his studio efforts. At the time, however, it was considered to be somewhat of a risk, because of fears that Charles' experimentation with Country Music would alienate his older fans. The Cover Album nevertheless became a critical and commercial success and broke down racial barriers between white and black audiences, as well as between fans of either only country and R&B.Charles released a follow-up album, Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music Volume Two, later that same year. |

New Sound Album: The album was a considerable departure from Charles' previous musical recordings. As Billy Joel put it: "He sang white man's country in a black R&B style." |

Neo Classical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly: Charles tried out different genres on this album: rock 'n' roll ("Bye Bye Love", made famous by The Everly Brothers in 1957) and country (the Cindy Walker song "You Don't Know Me", the Floyd Tillman song "I Love You So Much It Hurts", the Eddy Arnold song "Just a Little Lovin'", the Hank Williams songs "Half as Much", "You Win Again" and "Hey Good Lookin'"),... |
