Inconsistent - [09 Jun 2011]
I wanted to like this CD. I admire Willie Nelson for taking risks (his Stardust is, hands down, the best contemporary take on The Great American Songbook, a term I don't like very much). Same with Norah Jones. She seems game for anything - just listen...

trio combine for flat out winner - [01 Jun 2011]
Let's face it, Willie,Winton,and Nora do Ray right. Jazz has never felt so good with true pros providing a fine tribute to the music of Mr. Charles! No need to think about it, if you saw them on Letterman, download the goods and enjoy. Nice price too!...

Whats to not like? - [10 May 2011]
I enjoy this cd every time I listen to it, what's more, I can hear that the players, Willie, Wynton, Norah as well as the rest of the band are having a ball! Maybe it's the Ray Charles music, every song is familiar, yet the arrangements are pleasingly...

Here We Go Again - [09 May 2011]
Willie shows his versatility by performing with other artists of different musical genres and yet his layed back renditions are so Willie! I love this album. I've listened to it repeatedly.

just buy Ray Charles! - [04 May 2011]
I LOVE Willie! I love Norah! I love Wynton and Ray Charles! So what could be better than this CD, right? But Ray was about soul...passion. Willie and Norah have done other covers of his songs that I do like, but this CD just sounded like white bread. ...

Poor choice - [01 May 2011]
I am a long time fan of all three of these artists and of Ray and his music. Whoever chose the songs for this performance did them no favors. It is difficult to listen to and disappointing.

good marketing,not good music - [01 May 2011]
As if a constant diet of American Idol artists was not enough, the people who run record companies have hit upon another marketing ploy...put artists together from different genres and double your potential audience. I guess I am one of the few who believes...

can't stop to listen - [14 Apr 2011]
This cd is so great, I downloaded it as soon I was hearing the samples. The song 'Hit the road Jack' alone is worth buying the cd. Nearly all songs will give you chicken skins.

From Three Comes Magic - [13 Apr 2011]
No three musicians could be more different than Wynton, Willie, and Nora. Yet, when they come together on this CD, the results are nothing less than magic. Before I first played the CD, I really didn't know what to expect. Then, from the first track, ...

It's better the second time out - Nelson is looser, Great solos PLUS there's a lady in the vocal mix. - [03 Apr 2011]
Last year's release of the "Two Men With The Blues" - a concert at Jazz at Lincoln Center with Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis - on both CD and and DVD received lots of media attention. It was an interesting concept but didn't quite work perfectly for...
