TUESDAY BLUES! Ray Charles - Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying

Ray Charles - Don't let the Sun catch you crying (1959)

As winter approaches, sometimes you need a song to warm you up, to be a musical companion as the nights draw in.  This evokes the classic 'Rat Pack' tunes of the 50/60's and when men were men, suits were a must, and you'd probably have a drink of whiskey before, during and after work - a bit like Mad Men, but without the sunshine.

I was never a big Ray Charles fan, but that was due more to ignorance and not having any of his albums than not liking him.  That all changed when I heard this. The sweeping string arrangements, jazz-brush drumming, and exquisite piano playing takes you away to a time when music was real and couldn't be further away from the XFactor.....although even Simon Cowell would be gushing if Ray turned up and started playing this for him!

"...X-Factor? I got the xxx-factor.."

....I've got the Tuesday Blues because Saturday is so far away....
