Charlie Rich

"I Do My Swingin' at Home," Billy Sherrill has him say, but what makes Charlie special is that he also swings in the studio. That's one reason this doesn't sound like a formula country album. Another is that after "Nice 'n' Easy" he and his wife take over the songwriting on side one. Best: "Memphis and Arkansas Bridge," about getting lost in the big city. (Grade - B+)
