Country and Western Meets Rhythm and Blues (2024 Remaster)

Description

The success of the 1962 ‘Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music’ albums paved the way for Charles’ creative freedom as an artist. Throughout the rest of his career, he continued to show his deep affinity for country music. 1965’s ‘Country and Western Meets Rhythm and Blues’ (aka ‘Together Again’) features Ray’s timeless version of the Buck Owens country standard ‘Together Again’. It also holds the distinction of being the first album Charles recorded in his own RPM International recording studio.
