So even if more intimate venues are usually preferable to cavernous concert halls like Montreux's, any Ray is good Ray. Filmed in 1997, the 18-song, 73-minute show features Charles's big band visiting very familiar ground (\"Busted,\" \"What'd I Say,\" \"I Can't Stop Loving You,\" and, of course, \"Georgia on My Mind\"), along with some less obvious choices (a swinging rendition of the Oscar Peterson instrumental \"Scotia Blues\" and a very funky \"Watch Them Dogs,\" featuring the Raelettes). DVD bonus features include a text bio and timeline, but the unquestioned highlight is the voiceover track by the man himself, in which he offers anecdotes from the past, insight into specific songs, and a healthy dose of humor and soul. Great stuff. --Sam Graham\n\nProduct Description\n\nThere are few absolutes in this world, but Ray Charles, an artist to whom hackneyed terms like legend and genius actually do apply, is one of them.
