Silver Fox//Every Time You Touch Me [Import]

Product Description:
Starting his career at Sun Records in 1958 a few years after Elvis had left for RCA, Rich released many recordings throughout the next decade and a half but didn’t have any real chart success until the early ‘70s. These two albums, released in ’74 and ’75, prove that Rich was still at the top of his game, releasing country albums that easily crossed over into pop territory and beyond. His material was far more superior and successful, yet tread similar ground, to what Elvis was recording at the time. The Silver Fox features ‘Behind Closed Doors’, which was Charlie’s biggest hit. Both titles are currently unavailable in the U.S., which makes this a must have for fans of Charlie Rich and country music in general. Edsel. 2005.

Customer Reviews:

Good outweighs the bad.......2006-04-10

The first half of this programme is Charlie's 1975 "Silver Fox" album, which gives us some idea of what a Charlie Rich concert would be like - basically, Charlie telling the story of his years of struggling for recognition followed by "overnight success", interspersed with new versions of some of his Sun classics and his Epic hit "Behind Closed Doors", followed by new and recent recordings. If you can get past the narration, which is excruciating, the songs are absolutely blinding - there is not a weak track on the entire album, and his new recordings of "Don't Put No Headstone On My Grave" and "Break-Up" are sublime.

The same cannot be said of the second half, "Every Time You Touch Me" (1976), which unfortunately has too many sugary tracks giving us a foretaste of the musical direction he would take from then on - frankly, a complete lack of engagement and mostly worthless material. However, this album is redeemed by brilliant versions of "Since I fell for You", "Midnight Blues" (terrific!) and "Pass On By", plus the bitter-sweet "Rendezvous". If only he had kept it up!

Yet another chance to meet Charlie Rich..........2005-12-10

This is the third volume in the DEMON/ EDSEL re-issue series of Charlie Rich's Epic Recordings. The first two volumes sold well enough to release this third one. But there's still a fourth volume missing, containing Take Me & Roling with the Flow. That one will be released if this one sells adequatly! It's a shame that these albums weren't available for years. Charlie Rich is still undiscovered by most people, but his talent is equal to that of Elvis and Orbison...and indeed, his music is superior to that of Elvis and Orbison during the 70's.

The first album presented on this release is The Silver Fox. This one is as good as Behind Closed Doors and Very Special Love Songs. But this one's a little different because the first half of the album (first 6 songs) Charlie talks about his career between the songs. Quite interesting, since he play's blues, rockabilly, big band and jazz as wel as his biggest hit Behind Closed Doors.
But the absolute highlight of the album is Feel Like Going Home, his best composition and sung with more passion than you can imagine. On former site 2 Charlie delivers some excellent ballads. Especially I Love My Friend and Your Place Is Here With Me are outstanding.

Album two is Every Time You Touch Me (I Get High). This one has some very high ups, but also some missers. Highlights are the title track, She, All Over Me, Pass On By and Since I Fell For You. However, A Mellow Melody, A Little Bit Here and You and I aren't that great.

This is absolutely an essential Charlie Rich cd, but for new comers I suggest the first two volumes and Behind Closed Doors (remastered version) first, before buying this one. But when you have those, you will buy this one also!
