Good outweighs the bad

"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!"
Finally the talented&awesome Silverfox album on CD !!!
