Tienda On Pictures and Paintings, Charlie Rich got the chance before he died to make the jazz record he always had in him, though of course, this is Charlie Rich, so even when he's doing Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo," it's never just jazz. Always a singer's singer, Rich slides gracefully here--in the same song, sometimes even in the same phrase--from jazz and blues to pop and gospel, his gruff vocals straining, sighing, tearing, pausing, living in these songs until you'll swear you've lived them too. Backed by a swinging combo that includes his own Stan Getz-influenced piano, Rich is flawless throughout, whether he's laying down a definitive "Am I Blue" or revisiting his own "Feel Like Going Home." --David Cantwell Review Charlie Rich, a 1970s country-music star, has harbored blues feeling in his singing voice since the 1950s, when he recorded for Sam Phillips's label. On track again after a long quiet period, Rich brings a sure sense of dramatic pacing to the eleven attractive songs on this new recording. His wistful nature is revealed in his selection of subtle variations in shades of color, and he evokes glows of pleasure in the listener while his low spirits stir the soul. As a pianist, Rich-along with his polite jazz workmen-knows how to warm the cockles of one's heart without straying into precious sentimentality. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993 -- From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
