'Love Country Style' was released in 1970 by ABC Records and marks Ray Charles's explicit foray into country music, although he had already explored the genre in previous albums such as 'Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music'.
The album includes covers of popular country songs of the time, performed with Charles's unique style that blends soul, gospel, and country. Notable tracks include 'Ring of Fire' by Johnny Cash and 'You've Still Got a Place in My Heart'.
Although it did not achieve the revolutionary impact of his 1960s country works, 'Love Country Style' was a moderate success and demonstrated Charles's ability to cross musical boundaries, reaching both country and soul audiences.
