You can't teach genius by Chris Salzer Gainesville, GA United States
Reviewed on January 13th, 2005
Genius - you either have it or you don't. And Ray Charles, my friend, had it -- whatever it is -- in spades. Genius Loves Company makes for a rather apropos title. I love the insert in the CD with the revealing and heartfelt quotes from the likes of such musical luminaries as Norah and JT as well as close friends such as B.B. King and Willie Nelson. While Ray's voice indisputably lacks the inherently effervescent soul of his younger years, his duets on this CD amazingly still evoke great passion and make for an incredibly soothing and relaxing listen - namely on such stand out tracks as Here We Go Again w/ Norah Jones, Fever w/ Natalie Cole, It Was a Very Good Year w/ Willie, and arguably the most sublime track(and my personal favorite) on the album, Sinner's Prayer w/ B.B. King. Order this along with the Ray! soundtrack -- you can't go wrong.More "Genius Loves Company" reviews:
