Ray Charles at Newport is a 1958 live album of Ray Charles' July 5, 1958, performance at the Newport Jazz Festival. [1] The detailed liner notes on the album were written by Kenneth Lee Karpe. All tracks from this Newport album, along with all tracks from his 1959 Herndon Stadium performance in Atlanta, were also released on the Atlantic compilation LP Ray Charles Live . A later CD reissue of that compilation album included a previously unissued song from the 1958 Newport concert, "Swanee River Rock". [2] [3]
