Ray Charles’ impact on American popular music still reverberates, even into this second decade of the 21st century. He wasn’t called “The Genius” for nothing. The Ray Charles Project is a collection of great musicians paying tribute to a master: Tony Lindsay of Santana, and Glenn Walters of the HooDoo Rhythm Devils. They are expertly backed by an all-star rhythm section of Hammond B-3 wizard Dave Mathews (also of Santana); bassist DeWayne Pate of Robben Ford’s band, plus drums. A better collection of blues and jazz performers to honor Charles’ legacy would be hard to find.
