Ray Charles’ Tangerine Masters series continues.

Parts of Ray Charles‘ classic sixties’ catalogue have been collected together for the first time on a new compilation entitled No One Does It Like… which will be released on November 21st.

“A discography can define legacy, it can define a tenure of greatness, but to appreciate the gifts of Ray Charles, one has to avoid taking such a wide-lens approach, which is a way of saying that each Ray Charles song is a universe,” a specially written essay from critic Hanif Abdurraqib begins.

“No One Does It Like… is an offering which makes that plain….All of the songs on this album existed, somewhere, before this, stretched out alongside the massive career of Ray Charles. But this is the first time they’ve been curated and organized in one single place.”

It is easy to look at these specific songs and say Ray Charles had the blues, but the blues are a primary color. In order for them to become touchable, in order for them to actually live outside of the body, they have to be intertwined with other colors.

“The blues are made up of many parts: longing, fear, desire. I love a singer who can show you how the paint is mixed.”
