The Genius Sings The Blues - Ray Charles Mobile Fidelity Vinyl Pressing
Dive into the timeless world of Ray Charles with Mobile Fidelity's pristine vinyl pressing of "The Genius Sings The Blues." This iconic record showcases the evolution of timeless American music with indelible rhythmic pace, gospel roots, jazz backgrounds, and southern-styled accents.
From the iconic cover art to the distinguished music within, everything about this thematic record is iconic. Painstakingly sourced from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's engineers have ensured that every clink of the piano keys, the ache of Charles' rolling voice, and the rush of the backing arrangements sound better than they have since first being recorded in the studio. This release corrects previous editions' varying levels, distracting static and noise, and inconsistent vocal balances, offering now what is unquestionably the best-sounding Charles album to stem from his peak era.
