Complete Swing Time / Down Beat Recordings

Ray Charles

Night Train International

NTI 2CD 2001

Brother Ray cut these tunes for Swing Time at the beginning of his career. While Charles still influenced by Nat 'King' Cole and Charles Brown, his monumental talent was very much in effect. This is the most comprehensive collection ever created from that period, consisting of 45-tracks on two CDs, including previously unreleased alternate takes. As featured on Music Choice
