''Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music'' is a 1962 music album by Music/RayCharles, often regarded as one of the best -- if not ''the'' best -- of his studio efforts. At the time, however, it was considered to be somewhat of a risk, because of fears that Charles' experimentation with CountryMusic would alienate his older fans. The CoverAlbum nevertheless became a critical and commercial success and broke down racial barriers between white and black audiences, as well as between fans of either only country and R&B.
