"Here We Go Again"
Song
B-side"Somebody Ought to Write a Book About It"

"Here We Go Again" is a country music standard written by Don Lanier and Red Steagall that first became notable as a rhythm and blues/soul music single by Ray Charles from his 1967 album Ray Charles Invites You to Listen. Its most notable cover version is the rhythm and blues/soul music duet by Charles and Norah Jones, appearing on the 2004 Genius Loves Company album. The song has been covered in a wide variety of musical genres. In total, three different versions have had success on music charts, but none on country music charts.

Currently, the biggest commercial success has been Charles' 1967 version, and the biggest critical success has been the 2004 duet. The original version spent twelve weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 15. The Nancy Sinatra version charted for five weeks in 1969. When Genius Loves Company was released, the duet cover on that album earned the 2005 Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Best Pop Collaboration at the 47th Grammy Awards posthumously for Charles who died in 2004.

Although its two most successful versions have been rhythm and blues/soul music recordings, many of its other notable covers have been on country music albums. It was first covered in an instrumental jazz music format, and the more recent covers have all had duet vocal arrangements. As of 2011, the most recent notable version is by Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis featuring Jones from a 2011 tribute album by Nelson and Marsalis featuring Jones entitled Here We Go Again: Celebrating the Genius of Ray Charles. The song lent its name to Steagall's 2007 album as well as the tribute album. Covers of the song appear on compilation albums of some artists who never released it as a single in addition to those who did.

Original version

In November 1959 after a dozen years in the business, Charles signed with ABC Records following the expiration of his Atlantic Records contract.[1] In the 1960s, he experienced crossover success. Because ABC signed him as a rhythm and blues singer he waited until his contract was up for its three-year renewal before experimenting with country music although he wanted to do so sooner. With the assistance of ABC executive Sid Feller, he gathered a set of songs to record, despite the wishes of ABC.[2] The 1962 albums, Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music and its follow-up Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, Vol. 2, broadened the appeal of country music to the mainstream to the point where began to have more white fans than black.[3] In 1962, he founded his own record label, Tangerine Records which ABC-Paramount promoted and distributed.[4][5]

This song was made during a phase in Charles' career when he was performing a lot of country music.[6] Thus, "Here We Go Again" was a Tangerine label ABC-Paramount distribution country music song performed in Charles' style. However, Tangerine did not appear on the label of his works until 1968.[7] Although Fuller left ABC in 1965,[8] he arranged Ray Charles Invites You to Listen.[9] As producer, Joe Adams did the engineering.[9]

The song was written by Lanier and Steagall and was published by the Dirk Music Company.[10] It was recorded at RPM International Studios in Los Angeles[11][12] and was listed as the sixth of ten tracks on the Invites You to Listen album (catalog number ABCS-595).[13][14][15] Starting in 1987, it was included in numerous greatest hits and compilation albums.[16] When Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music was reissued in 1988, the song was added as a bonus track on that album.[11][12] The song was also included on the 1988 album Ray Charles Anthology.[17]

Performance history

The album tour playlist is not readily available, but "Here We Go Again" was the best-charting song on the album (and likely on the playlist). Charles' 1967 tour for the album began with a benefit concert on the USS Constellation, which was preparing for departure for the Vietnam War from San Diego Harbor. The tour, Charles' first since 1964, continued to Europe in mid-April with showings at Royal Festival Hall in London and Salle Pleyel in Paris as well as appearances in Vienna. In May, the band played Carnegie Hall back in the United States before returning to California. The tour got bad reviews from publications such as Jazz Journal, Jazz Magazine and New York Post. Later that summer, the band played Constitution Hall in Washington DC. In the fall, Charles had his first lucrative Nevada Casino performances starting with a three-week run at Harrah's Reno that was praised in Variety. The tour also had an extended fall run at the Copa.[18]

Composition

According to the sheet music published by Dirk Music, "Here We Go Again" is a rhythm and blues and soul song set in 12/8 time with a slow shuffle tempo of sixty-nine beats per minute. The song is written in the key of B major, and the vocals span from the low note of G3 to the high note of C5.[19] It is also influenced by the genres of country music[20] and gospel music.[21]

Reception

In a review for the single, Billboard wrote that the song could easily be a "blockbuster" for Charles.[20] Allmusic described the original as "Another excellent example of how Ray Charles was able to fuse blues and country, 'Here We Go Again' is a soulful ballad in the Southern blues tradition. Lyrically, it has a resignation and pain that makes the blues, simply, what it is. The recording has a simple and sterling gospel arrangement and, in retrospect, is one of Charles' finer attempts in the studio from the 1960s."[22]

Chart performance

The original version debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the May 20, 1967 issue at number 79 and on the Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles chart on June 10, 1967 at number 48.[23][24] For the weeks ending July 15, July 22 and July 29, the song spent three weeks at its peak position of number 15 on the Hot 100.[25][26] It spent July 22 and July 29 at its peak position of number 5 on the Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles.[27][28] By August 12, it fell out the Hot 100, ending a 12 week run.[29] It remained on the Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles top 50 for 13 weeks ending on September 2.[30][31] "Here We Go Again" was Charles' last single to enter the top twenty of the Hot 100.[32]

Abroad, it debuted on the UK Singles Chart top 40 at number 38, which would be its peak, on July 8, 1967.[33] It totalled 3 non-consecutive weeks on the chart.[34][35] In the Netherlands, "Here We Go Again" appeared on the singles chart at number 10 on July 15, 1967, and later peaked at number three.[36]

For the year 1967, the song finished at number 80 on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 and 33 on the Billboard Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles chart.[37]

"Here We Go Again"
Song

Sinatra recorded a cover of the song for the 1969 album Nancy, which was later remastered and reissued in 1996.[42] This was her first album after ending her business relationship with producer, Lee Hazlewood.[43] The cover, which according to programming guides had more of an easy listening/country music appeal,[44] was produced by Billy Strange.[45][46] The B-side to the single "Memories" was written by Strange along with Mac Davis.[46][47] Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, stating that the cover was a "smooth" with a "sing-a-long pop style".[46] They also commended Sinatra's vocal performance, writing it was "fine".[46]

Chart performance

Norah Jones/Ray Charles duet version

"Here We Go Again"
Song

In 2004, Charles re-recorded "Here We Go Again" as a duet with American singer-songwriter Norah Jones, who grew up listening to Charles.[64] While Jones and Charles harmonized,[65] the Hammond organ instrumentation was performed by Billy Preston,[66][67] who had at one time been the regular organist in Charles' band.[64] During her Billboard interview for her 2010 ...Featuring album of collaborations, which included her "Here We Go Again" duet, Jones said "I got a call from Ray asking if I'd be interested in singing on this duets record. I got on the next plane and I brought my mom. We went to his studio and did it live with the band. I sang it right next to Ray, watching his mouth for the phrasing. He was very sweet and put me at ease, which was great because I was petrified walking in there."[68] She noted in one ...Featuring interview that the only part that was not done live was a piano overlay that she added after the fact to complement Charles' keyboard. In the same interview, she noted that she had been given the opportunity to select a song from Charles' songbook to perform as a duet and felt that this one provided the best opportunity to harmonize rather than alternate vocal verses.[69]

As part of Charles' Genius Loves Company, this song proved to be the most popular and critically acclaimed song on an album that won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Although the song had its early detractors,[70][71] it received mostly favorable reviews. The Daily Vault described the song as a "jazzy, slinky pas de deux" in which Charles matches Jones note for note.[72] JazzTimes said Charles "blends seamlessly with Jones on a velvet-and-buckram" performance.[73] Robert Christgau notes that Jones carried the vocal burden as did many of his duet partners on the album.[74] USA Today said the song "strikes an easy groove".[67] PopMatters says "Jones nicely compliments Charles on this beautiful opening track".[21] The song was described by The Orlando Sentinel's Jim Abbott as a recreation of one of the best performances from Charles' country music phase of the 1960s that produced the perfect "combination of voices and instruments" with Preston's Hammond B3 performance accompanying Jones and Charles.[6] Preston's performance was favorably described by The Washington Post's Richard Harrington as "smoky".[64] The Chicago Tribune noted that critic Randy Lewis said the song's "countrified ache" represented that part of Charles' career.[75] As opposed to other times on the album, when Charles' voice was understated, this song was said to represent his "indomitable spirit", while Jones performed as "an empathetic foil, [with] her warm, lazy vocals meshing convivially with his over a spare but funky arrangement".[64] Author Mike Evans wrote that "there's a mutual warmth of purpose in every breath [Charles and Jones] take" on the song.[66] Music Week noted the timeliness of the release with Ray in theaters and described the song as a soulful song that finely combines Charles' "deep, honeyed growl with Jones's [sic] lighter timber", while noting Preston for his "sweeping" organ work.[76]

When the song was included on Jones' ...Featuring, which included three of her collaborations from Albums of the Year and several from Albums that were nominees,[77] the song did not stand out. Few of the reviews at Metacritic had substantive comments on the collaboration when included among her group of collaborations.[78] While reviewing Jones' album ...Featuring, Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine wrote that the duet was a "more staid and less compelling recording" in the album.[79] However, Allmusic noted that she worked comfortably with Charles and Soul Tracks said the track was more than just filler.[80][81]

Awards and nominations

In December 2004, the song was nominated in two categories at the 47th Grammy Awards.[82] At the February 13, 2005 awards ceremony, the duet earned the award for both of these categories: Record of the Year and Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.[83] It was the second Record of the Year winner not to make the Hot 100 (following "Walk On" in 2001 by U2).[84] The song won Record of the Year, but not Song of the Year. Record of the Year is awarded to the artist(s), producer(s), recording engineer(s) and/or mixer(s), if other than artist for newly recorded material. Song of the Year is awarded to the songwriter(s) of a new song or a song first achieving prominence during the eligibility year.[85] Steagall and Lanier are credited as the writers of this song from their work on its original version in 1967. The song was not a new song.

Other versions

Billy Vaughn covered "Here We Go Again" on his 1967 Ode to Billy Joe instrumental jazz album,[99] as did Martin on his 1970 album My Woman, My Woman, My Wife.[100] Glen Campbell's version of the song appeared on his 1971 album The Last Time I Saw Her,[101] Eddy Arnold's on his 1972 album Lonely People,[102] and George Strait's on his 1992 album Holding My Own.[103] Steagall performed it with Reba McEntire on his 2007 Here We Go Again album, but she did not include it on her 2007 duets album Reba: Duets, which was released four weeks later.[104][105] Their collaboration was favorably reviewed,[106] and McEntire was said to reinvigorate this country standard.[107] Martin's version was 3:07, and it later appeared on compilation albums, starting with the 1996 Dean Martin Gold, Vol. 2. It has appeared on a handful of other Martin compilation albums at lengths between 3:05 and 3:08.[100] Campbell's version was only 2:26.[101] Strait's version is 2:53 and appears later on his 2004 Greatest Collection at a 2:55 length.[103] Steagall's version with McEntire (who Steagall discovered at a 1974 county fair)[107][108] is 3:10.[109]

Nelson and Marsalis along with Norah Jones performed two concerts, at Lincoln Center's Rose Theatre, on February 9 and February 10, 2009. A 2011 live tribute album by Nelson and Marsalis featuring Jones entitled Here We Go Again: Celebrating the Genius of Ray Charles was recorded on these two live dates. The album included a track entitled "Here We Go Again". The album was released on March 29, 2011.[110][111] Vocals on "Here We Go Again" were performed by Jones and Nelson, while instrumental support was provided by Marsalis (trumpet), Dan Nimmer (piano), Mickey Raphael (harmonica), Walter Blanding (tenor saxophone), Carlos Henriquez (bass) and Ali Jackson (drums and percussion).[112] The song, which had a length of 5:10, was arranged by Andy Farber and performed in a rhythm and blues 12/8 shuffle.[112] BBC music reviewer Bill Tilland noted that Jones added her usual "style and panache" to this performance.[113] At one concert performance, The New York Times critic Nate Chinen, felt the song sounded unrehearsed, but it is not clear what he felt of the album version.[114] Although critique of this track is sparse reviewers of Pop Matters' Will Layman notes that the album reveals "how decisive and strong Jones sounds while singing with a truly legitimate jazz group" and how Nelson predictably "breezes through his tunes with cavalier grace". Meanwhile, he praises the professional mastery of Marsalis' quintet.[115] Tilland also notes that on the album Marsalis' band "compensates quite adequately for occasional lacklustre vocals."[113]

Strait's country music version was performed with the following instrumental support: Joe Chemay (bass guitar), Floyd Domino (piano), Buddy Emmons (steel guitar), Steve Gibson (acoustic guitar), Johnny Gimble (fiddle), Jim Horn (saxophone, alto flute), Larrie Londin (drums), Liana Manis (background vocals), Curtis Young (background vocals), and Reggie Young (electric guitar). The album was produced by Jimmy Bowen and Straight.[116] In 1992, Entertainment Weekly regarded the album as Strait's "most hard-core country album" up to that point in his career.[117] Allmusic notes that the album held its own at the time of release against most of its competitors and has aged better than most country music albums.[118] People says the album represents the most straightforward style of singing.[119] iTunes describes the album as the result of a a transition in eras of country music.[120]
