Ray Charles Unreleased

Tuff City is excited to announce that in response to the overwhelming demand for our Ray Charles double CD we are re-launching this release at a new low price to allow us to bring this legendary artist to a larger audience! The death of Ray Charles brought a new focus to his earliest Swing Time recordings, and the popular notion that these Los Angeles blues, ballads and swing pieces were somehow inferior to his most widely known work was put to rest! The Night Train Complete Swing Time/Down Beat Recordings showed that Charles’ foray through Central Avenue blues and pop (à la Nat King Cole) were as credible and valuable as his later rock ‘n’ roll and country & western recordings. With Unreleased, Night Train is pleased to present an exciting body of unreleased alternate recordings from the Swing Time era. The highest standards of restoration have been applied to the presentation of this extremely exciting find!
