Grade: C
Music connoisseurs will likely love “Here We Go Again: Celebrating the Genius of Ray Charles,” a collaboration between jazz songstress Norah Jones, jazz trumpet legend Wynton Marsalis and country legend Willie Nelson, but casual listeners may think the album is a difficult listen. Nelson’s distinctive, nasally voice works for country but isn’t fit for the bluesy gospel tracks on this album. Jones’ voice better fits the music, but she truly shines on her original albums. Remembering Ray is probably best accomplished through listening to man himself.
