Ray Charles in LA

Ray Charles released this album in 1991. He was in LA, as his name suggests. The sound is a bit softer than expected. It's not the same style as before, but it still has that energy that makes it unique. The songs are old, but he re-recorded them with a new band. Some of them are classics, like What’d I Say or Hallelujah I Love Her So. The album isn't long, it has twelve tracks, but each one has its weight. The production is clear, without complicating anything. What matters is that Ray Charles is still playing as if nothing, with that voice that identifies him. It's not a revolutionary album, but it's a way of seeing him from another perspective. The band accompanies him well, without standing out. The result is an album that doesn't overwhelm you, but leaves you with the feeling that you're listening to someone still in the game.
