Feel Like Going Home: The Essential Charlie Rich

  • Epic/Legacy
    1997

  • Peter Guralnick, Jeff Jones & Robert Sheridan, executive producers, Lawrence Cohn, CD producer

• Available from Tower Records •

There’s no better place to begin an appreciation for the enormous, diverse talents of Charlie Rich than this thoughtfully produced CD of many of Charlie’s greatest musical moments. The 36 songs on the collection introduce the listener to each of Charlie’s bright eras with songs from Sun, Groove, Hi, Smash, Epic, and Sire. Included are all the greatest hits you’d expect to be here ("Behind Closed Doors," "The Most Beautiful Girl," "Lonely Weekends,""Mohair Sam"), a wonderful mix of often overlooked gems ("Who Will The Next Fool Be," "River, Stay ‘Way From My Door") and, yes, a few miracles only a talent as fully realized as Charlie’s could have wrought ("No Home," "Pictures and Paintings,"and the glorious solo demo of "Feel Like Going Home"). Liner notes feature a special word from Margaret Ann Rich and reflections from Sam Phillips and long-time devotee, Peter Guralnick. Absolutely essential!
