Feel Like Going Home (The Songs of Charlie Rich)
Various Artists
Though best known for his ‘70s pop hits, Charlie Rich was a consummate musician whose fusion of country, blues, and R&B put him in an elite class. His individualism is celebrated in these performances, each of which highlights a different aspect of Rich’s songcraft. Among rollicking blues and barroom ballads, Anita Suhanin and Kevin Connolly regenerate Rich’s regal tone and timing on “Midnight Blues” and “Feel Like Going Home.”
