Volcanic Action of My Soul is a studio album by Ray Charles released in 1971 on ABC Records. It was produced by Ray Charles himself and recorded at ABC Studios in Los Angeles, California.
The album blends soul, funk, and rhythm and blues, with orchestral arrangements and backing vocals. It includes covers of popular songs of the time, such as 'Hey Girl' and 'We Can Make It', as well as original compositions.
Although not one of Charles's biggest commercial successes, the album reflects his musical evolution towards more contemporary soul sounds of the early 1970s, while maintaining his characteristic vocal style.
