BOBBY CHARLES - S/T

DateMonday, August 10, 2009 at 09:00AM

Sounding here like a Cajun, countrified Randy Newman or an older bon-vivant equal to The Band's Rick Danko and Richard Manuel, Bobby Charles' career was (attempted to be) revived with this 1972 set, co-produced by Danko and including contributions from Manuel, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, John Simon and Dr. John. With Vetiver having covered "I Must Be In A Good Place Now" and local rock'n'soul revue Steamboat featuring Charles/Danko co-write "Small Town Talk" in their repertoire, these songs have been kept alive by a current generation of musicians, and are now back in print (while the limited pressing lasts) via Rhino UK's arm of the Encore series.

(This review first ran on our site in November 2008 upon the disc's initial reissue. Although unavailable for several months thereafter, a recent warehouse find of copies means that this lost classic is once again up for grabs, so come in and pick up a copy before it goes out of print yet another time!)
