Análisis (en inglés) :
One of the first handful of LPs issued by {@Atlantic}, {^Ray Charles} (later retitled {^Hallelujah I Love Her So}) is a bona fide classic of its genre. Weighted about three to one in favor of {$Charles}' own compositions, its raison d'etre was the hits {&"Hallelujah I Love Her So"} and the pounding, soaring {&"Ain't That Love,"} which opens the LP. As with other {@Atlantic} albums of the period, its content was determined more by {$Charles}' recent singles than by a real plan for the LP, but even within those limitations it's an amazingly subtle record. {$Charles} does just as well with his interpretations of others' work, most notably the ominous, {\gospel}-focused rendition of {&"Sinner's Prayer"} (which offers a virtuoso piano performance, and comes courtesy of the pen of {$Charles}' former mentor {$Lowell Fulson}) and {$Henry Glover}'s wrenching {\ballad} {&"Drown in My Own Tears,"} which is topped out on each verse by a gorgeous chorus. {&"Funny (But I Still Love You)"} offers a guitar break played in such an understated fashion that it almost doesn't seem so much a part of {\R&B} as it was usually being offered in 1957 as it does a part of {$Charles}' early career output. The second side of the LP is even better, opening with the title track, a number that is almost too ubiquitous in its various cover versions -- the original has a mix of urgency and playfulness that's absolutely bracing, and the album carries this mood forward with {&"Mess Around,"} an {$Ahmet Ertegun}-authored piano- and sax-driven romp with {$Charles} at his most ebullient as a singer. {&"This Little Girl of Mine"} offers him in a surprisingly light, almost acrobatic vocal mode, while {&"Greenbacks"} is a knowing, clever cautionary narrative that is almost a throwback to 1940s-style {\R&B}. {&"Don't You Know"} is as salacious a piece of {\R&B} as one was likely to hear in 1957, and {&"I Got a Woman"} closes the record out on a pounding, driving note. The original album suffered from deficient sound and most reissues left a lot to be desired, but in 2003 {@WEA International} reissued it (as {^Hallelujah I Love Her So}) in a 24-bit remastered version in a gatefold format that is a treat to the ear and runs circles around prior reissues. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
