Country & Western Meets Rhythm &...

AMG Review

A partially successful revisiting by Charles of his country sessions of the early '60s. These songs weren't quite as transcendent as those on the prior dates, but he showed once again that the lines between country, R&B, and soul weren't as rigid as many in the various camps thought. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
