Few artists from any genre can match the great Charlie Rich in terms of depth and breadth of talent. To completely comprehend his brilliance, he must be viewed in the company of Sinatra, Elvis, and Ray Charles--artists who bent and blended genres to create music beyond category. This comprehensive two-disc collection gathers only his best work from a variety of labels and highlights Rich in his many surroundings: early Sun rockabilly sides; gritty R&B; straight barroom country; potent gospel; lush, Billy Sherrill-produced Countrypolitan (that brought him long-overdue fame); and his final jazz-oriented gems. Rich's arsenal was capable of moving you in so many ways--with soulful vocals and marrowy piano that could tear the roof off a burner or gently caress a ballad--without resorting to flash or pretense. If that's not enough, he also proves himself to be a compelling and direct songwriter throughout his career. --Marc Greilsamer
