Raven presents the definitive, multi-label hit collection of the great Country artist CHARLIE RICH. A Rich Collection 1960-1978 compiles 27 of his finest recordings drawn from his years with Sun, Groove, Smash, RCA and Epic Records. Known as The Silver Fox, Rich was one the great Country stars of the 1960s and 1970s, becoming best known for his string of lush, Billy Sherrill-produced countrypolitan hits of the mid-70s. Not only was he one of the best selling artists in modern Country (with nine #1 hits), but also he scored a #1 cross-over hit on the Billboard Pop chart as well. Throughout his career Rich has been able to blend country, jazz, blues, gospel, rockabilly and soul into a winning formula. Starting with his first rockabilly hit Lonely Weekends', produced in 1960 by Sam C. Phillips, this collection proceeds through his foot-stomping 1963 hit on Groove Big Boss Man', his 1965 Top 40 Pop hit on Smash Mohair Sam' and on to his amazing run of #1s during the 1970s on Epic. These include Behind Closed Doors', The Most Beautiful Girl', A Very Special Love Song', There Won't Be Any More', I Don't See Me In Your Eyes Anymore', I Love My Friend', Rollin' with the Flow' and On My Knees'. In addition there are a further five Top 10 hits and four that made the Top 50 - making 20 chart hits in total - plus a selection of key B-sides and quality album tracks. With 27 tracks, 75 minutes of superb quality audio, detailed liner notes and color booklet this is an essential collection for the Country music aficionado.

Charlie Rich's Smash recordings were described by the artist as the favorite of his career. This glorious compendium features all 29 tracks that he cut for the Mercury subsidiary between 1965 and 1966, including the Top 10 US hit Mohair Sam.

Rich was one of the last discoveries of Sam Phillips at Sun, and the one who Phillips thought could challenge Elvis' success. His love of R&B, jazz and country made it hard for his record companies to know quite how to present Rich. Super-stardom did not arrive until his breakthrough #1 The Most Beautiful Girl in 1973.

At Smash he was paired with producer Jerry Kennedy who let Rich have his way. As a result the sides he recorded for them are a splendid representation of Rich's many influences, from the forlorn passion of No Home, the desolate Field Of Yellow Daisies to the dance-floor R&B grooves of Party Girl and the updated rockabilly of Hawg Jaw.

Rich and his wife Margaret Ann provide many of the songs alongside Nashville greats such as Donnie Fritts and Dallas Frazier. The production from Kennedy is exemplary throughout.

2009 three CD set from the Country/Rock legend containing his recordings for the legendary Sun Records and Phillips Records labels in the late '50s and early '60s. Ever since his death in 1995, the legacy and reputation of Charlie Rich has continued to grow in stature. Although he eventually went on to greater commercial success with other labels, his Sun recordings represent him at his very best and are the ones he deserves to be best remembered for. 100 tracks. Snapper.

On Pictures and Paintings, Charlie Rich got the chance before he died to make the jazz record he always had in him, though of course, this is Charlie Rich, so even when he's doing Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo," it's never just jazz. Always a singer's singer, Rich slides gracefully here--in the same song, sometimes even in the same phrase--from jazz and blues to pop and gospel, his gruff vocals straining, sighing, tearing, pausing, living in these songs until you'll swear you've lived them too. Backed by a swinging combo that includes his own Stan Getz-influenced piano, Rich is flawless throughout, whether he's laying down a definitive "Am I Blue" or revisiting his own "Feel Like Going Home." --David Cantwell
