Ray Charles - Love Country Style (2025 Remaster) (1970/2025) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

Tangerine Records, founded by the late Ray Charles, will reissue his out-of-print classic, Love Country Style, for the first time since its 1970 release, on vinyl on October 24th. The release is part of the label’s Tangerine Master Series, a new slate of reissues highlighting Charles’ best-known music alongside classic records long out of print, and ready for rediscovery. Each album has been restored and remastered under the direct supervision of The Ray Charles Foundation, painting a vivid new portrait of an artist and icon whose impact continues to expand and inspire.

A fan favorite that’s one of the finest examples of Charles’ crossover work, Love Country Style is the most soulful of his country records, as well as arguably the album that’s the most connected to the current sound of today’s country superstars. The album finds Charles once again embracing his love for the genre by delivering heartfelt renditions of songs by Mickey Newbury and Jimmy Webb with his signature blend of soul and sophistication. Backed by lush gospel-tinged arrangements, songs like his iconic version of “Ring of Fire” and “Don’t Change On Me” (which hit the top 20 at R&B as well as the overall top 40) highlight Charles’s unrivaled ability to transform country standards into something unmistakably his own. Out of print since its original release more than 50 years ago, Love Country Style now finally returns, fully restored and remastered in cooperation with the Ray Charles Foundation.

The Tangerine Master Series will also see reissues of such masterpieces as No One Does It Like…Ray Charles! – The Great Ray Charles Album That Should Have Been, a previously uncompiled collection of singles circa 1962-1965, released for the first time as a cohesive body of work, offering a rare glimpse into a prolific and creatively explosive period in Charles’ multi-decade career.
