The success of the 1962 Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music albums paved the way for Ray Charles' creative freedom as an artist. Throughout the rest of his career, he continued to show his deep affinity for country music. On 1996's Crying Time album Ray delivers the definitive version of that Buck Owens song and earned GRAMMYs for Best Rhythm & Blues Solo Vocal Performance Male and Best Rhythm & Blues Recording by The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. As if that weren't enough, the album also boasts Charles #1 Billboard smash "Let's Go Get Stoned."
