Andreas; Hank Davis.\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast to the Charly label's Charlie Rich compilation, THE COMPLETE SUN MASTERS, released at just about the same time in mid-2009, Bear Family's CHARLIE ROCKS goes one step further and includes some of Rich's eclectic, unclassifiable recordings from his Smash Records tenure in the mid-'60s, including strikingly good soul-country songs like \"Mohair Sam\" and \"I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water.\" The earlier Sun rockabilly hits are all here, of course--\"Lonely Weekends,\" \"Rebound,\" Break-up\"--oddly Elvis-like in vocal approach yet much more adult in feeling, which was both Charlie Rich's blessing and his curse. It wasn't till the Nashville of the '70s that this singer-pianist's particular brand of musical and emotional sophistication began to be appreciated.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46543747318047,"sku":"4000127165138","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/0616eae55d549e76d4e57a482516553d.jpg?v=1777895182","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/charlie-rocks","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
