I just realized this morning that it's been exactly 10 years since Ray Charles had past away.
I remembered having an uncirculated recording sittiing on my HD for the past few years and figured now was the time to put it out.
I spent the morning figuring out the set list and checking the tracking. This is a really nice recording.
It was a blues festival that also included B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Dr. John and the Fabulous Thunderbirds.
I'm dedicating this to the most dedicated Charles fan on the planet. Mr. Bob Stumpel.
If you haven't seen his website, it's well worth observing the wealth of information available.

This is the only Ray Charles recording I've seen from 1992.
A big thanks goes out to Ken G. for attending and taping this show.
At the end of side A there is a small snippet of some unknown song.
There just wasn't enough there for me to identify it. If anyone knows the title, let us know.
I think all The Ray fans will enjoy this new recording.
