Search - Charlie Rich :: Once a Drifter

We were poking around the internet, and found a site maintained by Charlie s son. Here is what he had to say about this 1980 album: 'This is my father at his vocal peak. His absolute best, in my humble opinion. The songs are fantastic. Charlie's version of 'Marie', the Randy Newman tune, is the best I ve ever heard. 'Angelina' is so Charlie it's frightening. The word was that Elektra spent so much money signing my Dad that they didn't have enough left to promote it. I don t know if that s true or not, but this album is great. Unfortunately, it just didn't do very well. I think the only big single from it was 'Are We Dreamin The Same Dream'. If you ever get a chance to hear this hard to find album, do yourself a favor. It's what I consider to be the quintessential Charlie Rich album.' Well, we can t improve on that!
