Album Description
Ray, the 2004 Brother Ray biopic starring Jamie Foxx, is a box office smash that's earned massive critical raves, popular acclaim, and Oscar buzz. This new compilation follows up Rhino's Ray! Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. The disc features soundtrack selections that Foxx depicts onscreen as part of his stunning portrayal of Ray Charles, as well as a lineup of additional songs that are among Charles' definitive classics...each and every one is an original Ray Charles master.

This follow-up to the soundtrack of director Taylor Hackford's acclaimed Ray Charles biopic contains key film tracks (like the rehab-centered "Lets Go Get Stoned") left off the first collection, as well as a number of non-movie songs said to "inspire" the film. But far from mere marketing gambit, those tracks (which date mostly to the late 1950s and early '60s) help make this an even grittier, more blues-centered sketch of the incomparable icon in his prime. The included bonus DVD contains just two songs, bracing performances of "Don't Set Me Free" and "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" culled from a 1963 Brazilian TV show chronicled on Rhino's O-Genio video. But the collection's greatest treasures are bluesy, 2003 live-in-the-studio takes of "Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand" and "Drown In My Own Tears/You Don't Know Me" by Charles himself, film dub tracks for which no other appropriate recordings existed. Listening to the Legend time-trip across decades is as serene as it is surreal, especially with "Baby"'s understated guitar solo being delivered by unlikely sideman Slash. The set concludes with Charles' magnificent, mid-70's gospel vamp of "America the Beautiful." --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews

A Diamond In The Rough
this second opus from the ray soundtrack is incredible just as the first one was. now to say that this isn't great then somebody lied to you jack. every song as in the first one gives you musical sketch of what type artist whom can cross genres at tap of his feet and easily make something happen. i actually love this cd better than the first one. (prolly cuz i got it in reverse order) so if you like the soundtrack, and loved the film then get this one as well. favorite tracks are:
leave my women alone
lonely avenue
i believe to my soul
the danger zone
busted
let's get stoned
drifting blues
rockhouses 1&2

Not a bad CD.
This CD is pretty good.I listen to a little bit of the music from watching the movie.The movie was great!That's why I got the CD.I would recmmend this CD to anybody who likes jazz or 50's music.Also go buy the movie on DVD here at Amazon.The movie is great I can see why Jamie Foxx got his oscar!Great job Jamie!

More genius
If you liked the Ray! Soundtrack, then you can't go wrong with More Music From Ray. If the sensational movie is any indication, there are simply too many scintillating songs to put onto one CD. Alas, a 2nd volume was absolutely necessary to give us such indelible, yet more esoteric songs as Makin' Whoopee, Drifting Blues, and, of course, Let's Go Get Stoned.

The DVD is short, yet it's a throw-in seeing as you pay the price of a normal CD anyway. Also included but not listed is Track #17, a superb rendition of America the Beautiful.
