Charlie Rich: The Ballads Of Charlie Rich (CD)

1-CD Digipak (4-plated) with 40-page booklet, 33 tracks. Playing time approx. 86 minutes.

A deep look at Charlie Rich's Sun, RCA and Smash ballads, beginning nearly twenty years before the 'Silver Fox' era q The only collection focusing entirely on Charlie Rich ballads

'Ballads' provides the best evidence that Rich was truly the era's 'best white soul singer'

Contains ultra-rare and previously unreleased material

Nearly 15 years after his death, Charlie Rich remains a hero to country and rockabilly collectors. Forget about the slick, over-pro- duced hits of the 1970s and '80s. This collection goes way, way deeper in revealing the soul of Charlie Rich. Sam Phillips, the foun- der of Sun Records, commented on numerous occasions that he never recorded a more talented singer/songwriter/musician than Charlie Rich. Musicians who worked with Rich still talk about the effortless way he crossed genres and brought jazz, blues and rock into what might otherwise have been a routine country session.

Charlie Rich had it all – Presleyish good looks, a spectacular voice, and piano chops so fine he could have made his living playing on other people's sessions.

This generous album of ballads, compiled from three different label affiliations during the earliest years of Charlie Rich's career, showcases the finest features of his composing and vocal talent. Considered by many to be the finest white soul singer of his time, Charlie Rich really lets it fly on this exceptional compilation. As usual, BEAR FAMILY RECORDS digs deep into the vaults and brings together a stellar combination of known, semi-known and utterly obscure selections from Rich's earliest work. We've even managed to unearth some previously unissued tracks. The package includes detailed musical commentary and original biographical notes by Sun and Charlie Rich historian, Hank Davis.

This collection will be a treat for Charlie Rich's loyal legion of followers, and will also win some new fans and collectors into the camp of this legendary Arkansas musician.

"Charlie Rich"

Charlie Rich

Amerikanischer Country- & Western-Sänger. Studierte an der Universität von Arkansas Musik und gründete die Gruppe „The Velvetones'. Musikalisch brachte Charlie Rich Rhythm & Blues und war so erfolgreich, daß er bald seine eigene, wöchentlich ausgestrahlte TV-Show bekam. Dann folgte der Wechsel zum Country & Western, den Charlie Rich jedoch nicht in reiner Form brachte, sondern ständig mit Rhythm & Blues, Gospel- und Rockelementen anreicherte. ln Amerika schon seit Jahren ein Topstar der Countryszene, schaffte er 1973 fast sensationell mit dem Song „Behind closed Doors' auch in Europa einen Millionenhit. Ein Jahr lang standen die englischen Fans kopf.

1974 war das Charlie-Rich-Jahr in England: 7 Singles wurden veröffentlicht, alle kamen in die Hitparaden, 5 LPs wurden auf den Markt geworfen - es war wie ein Schluß- oder Ausverkauf. Noch nie hatte eine Plattenfirma die Nachfrage nach einem Sänger so konsequent genutzt und den Markt gefüllt. Als hätte man es geahnt: 1975 war alles schon wieder wie ein Spuk vorbei. Einen Charlie Rich schien es nie gegeben zu haben. In Amerika wurde er mit dem Grammy als einer der besten Country- & Western-Sänger ausgezeichnet.
