Title: For Ray Charles Completists Only
Review: As my title says, this is an album for Ray Charles completists only... not for the casual fan and not even for the more than casual fan.I fall into the second category... more than just a casual fan, owning about 6 or 7 Ray Charles albums (and loving them all dearly), I fished this CD out of a bargain bin at the local drug store. That should have set off warning alarms, but I thought, "How could anything by Ray Charles be bad?"This stuff is bad. It's certainly a curious CD... Ray's vocals are fine, but they are drowning in a sea of what genuinely sounds like the soundtrack from an old Nintendo game. Hearing the synthesized blips and bleeps will make you nostalgic for the aura of an arcade hall, if you grew up during the right era.Honestly, I found it near impossible to listen to all the way through. Ray alone with his piano would have been brilliant. Ray stuck inside Mega Man 3 is just a waste of time.
