88. Will Hoge on Ray Charles 'Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music'

It's no surprise that someone like Will Hoge, whose music blends R&B sounds with heartland rock, would love the genre-busting "Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music", Ray Charles' 1962 album that saw him cover country classics by Hank Williams, The Everly Brothers and more.

Will and I discuss how he stumbled upon the album as a kid, what it meant for Charles to release it at the height of the civil rights era, the good and bad ways country and R&B have been mashed up over the years, seeing Ray Charles live in Nashville, why Usher should make a country record and how Charles influenced Will's song "This Time Around".
