180G LP
The last in the royal line of Sun Records superstars, Charlie Rich could hold his own with the likes of Elvis, Jerry Lee,Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash before him. Rich's "Lonely Weekends" ripped through the national charts in 1960 like abuzzsaw in one of Sun's last assaults on the Top Twenty. The Arkansas native, who became known as the Silver Fox,would duke it out with the Beatles and Stones in 1965 with his hip-swingingsmash "Mohair Sam," then settle into a fertile country career by 1973 with"The Most Beautiful Girl in the World." But this 180-gram vinyl LP featuresCharlie Rich at the peak of his ripsnorting early powers, once again fulfilling SunRecords owner Sam Phillips' often-stated desire for a white man who sang withthe soul and power of a black man.TRACKS: Lonely Weekends / School Days / Whirlwind / Stay / C.C.
