Bobby Charles

by: Bobby Charles

Release Date August 04, 2008
I'm in total agreement with the previous reviewers, if listening to this doesn't make you feel better about life, get someone to check your pulse. It's one of those, all too rare, albums where you would be hard pushed to think of ways of improving it. The playing is superb throughout, featuring many musical styles and its appeal grows with each subsequent listen. The vocals remind me of J.J. Cale...no bad thing, in my humble opinion and with the backing of (most of) The Band, you can be assured that the "feelgood factor" is second to none. Rhino have just re-issued this CD and you can pick it up for around a fiver, so do yourself a favour and buy it...you won't regret it!

So what's so good about this then? To be honest I bought this because I liked the photograph on the front of the album. Look a whole lot better on a 12 inch vinyl sleeve of course but this is the 21st century I guess. It doesn't have much to do with the album really, except of course it's the station in Memphis, well I assume it is. But there aren't any train songs here.

It's not bad really, a nice slice of Americana, swamp rock rhythm and blues Cajun. It's got a real rough edge to it which is more endearing than it might sound. It's one of those things that's just on the edge, nearly loses it then it doesn't. Bit like the songs really that Legend of Jolie Blonde, so corny and sentimental but it works. It's grown on me, those slack ... Read More:
