专辑介绍
by Richie Unterberger
In keeping with his jazz/pop crossover ambitions, Ray Charles decided to record a concept album of sorts with a dozen songs devoted to various parts of the U.S. -- &Alabamy Bound,& &Georgia on My Mind,& &Moonlight in Vermont,& &California, Here I Come,& &Blue Hawaii,& and more. The crossover vibe is further heightened by the brassy big-band arrangements, and material from the likes of Al Jolson and Hoagy Carmichael. It sounds a bit corny now, with an in-your-face gung-ho cheer. But it did what Charles wanted it to do, reaching the Top Ten of the album charts, and spinning off a big hit with &Georgia on My Mind.& ]The 1997 CD reissue on Rhino adds seven bonus tracks from 1956-1972 that also had a travel/geographic theme, and the best of these are actually the highlights of the record, most notably &Hit the Road Jack,& &Lonely Avenue,& and his cover of Hank Snow's &I'm Movin' On.&]
