At Newport (Live/Remastered) [Digipak] - Ray Charles

Advantages: read below
Disadvantages: read below

...After his unexpected death, Ray charles left 60 years of his time on his record label, making timeless music, with mixture of jazz, blues, gospel, country, soul, and rock ’n‘ roll. There was something very memorable about his unforgettable performances, he truely inspired alot of modern artists with his music. This new released album is duet album...every song is a duet with the worlds hottest soul/jazz singers: Nelson, Norah Jones, Natalie Cole, Bonnie Raitt and many more. it has to be said that he does shine the most with his duets, for example of a very heart moving duet is "Here We Go Again" feat the new shining talent Nora Jones, a soul beat ballad, a beautifull romantic recreation. The duet with James Taylor "Sweet Potato" which shifts into neo-soul sounds, with gitar riffs and the very unmissable saxaphone. "You... Read review

Advantages: Ray Charles Greatest Hits !
Disadvantages: ?

.... But this was not his only problem; he was addicted to women too…he was married twice and both times he divorced…this didn't stop him to have other relations…so as a result from all his relationships he ended up having 12 children. Ray Charles had a life full of events…but amazingly a long one, despite his drugs problems and he continued to shine through decades having hits after hits and concerts after concerts… Sadly he died on June 10, 2004 in Beverly Hills, California, of liver disease. But he will live forever through his music… The Very Best of Ray Charles Album = Originally released in 2000, this album has 16 tracks which are the very best ones… In 2005 the same album was re-released on the market with the same songs but sorted on the CD in a different order… The album is just great, has in order hit after hit...

Advantages: Bowie at his absolute brilliant best with a band and music to kill for!
Disadvantages: Practically nothing whatsoever...

...I bought Stage on holiday for cheap after not going to see Bowie perform live back home, as with Bowie I love half his stuff and the other half, well, not. Back at the hotel room in the evening before offing out, I slipped it from the plastic case, allowing the digipak to unfold and very nice it was too. Within liner notes from Tony Visconti enthused about Stage and Bowie's live shows, giving some personal insight into their working and how this re-release of Stage returned the music to the original running order (previously it was separated into one CD of more conventional songs and another of less conventional instrumentals). I slipped the first CD into the walkman, feeling a little uncertain as to Visconti's enthusiasm and… One of 'those' more unusual instrumentals begins - the track he opened the concerts with.
