Description

Charly is one of many singers poorly represented on CD, but this 34-track compilation went some way to compensating for that.It begins with Men, a song that highlights the dilemma that women face – they like some things about men, but not others – but it does so in a slightly humorous way, so it should not offend anybody.Perhaps the best known song here is Who’s cheating who, which begins the second CD. It was her first country number one and was later covered by Alan Jackson, who took the song back to the country top ten in the mid-nineties. Charly was a consistent country hit-maker inmore… the early eighties, with such fine songs as Dancing your memory away, Sentimental old you, Radio heart and Women get lonely, to name just a few.Charly recorded duets with Mickey Gilley, including Candy man (a Roy Orbison cover), Paradise tonight and The right stuff. She also recorded duets with Wayne Massey (her husband) including With just one look in your eyes and You are my music you are my song. Those duets can all be found here, together with I hate the way I love it, a duet with Johnny Rodriguez.Charly did not record many covers, but the ones she did were excellent. Apart from the previously mentioned Candy man, you will also find Charly’s versions of Make the world go away (the Eddy Arnold classic) and Band of gold (the Freda Payne classic) in this collection.Some of the best songs here can be found on Pure country, the only compilation currently available, but it’s only a substitute for this, which I fortunately bought while it was available.Given that Charly appears to have faded into obscurity, it is likely that this compilation will remain the best compilation of her music available on CD. Buy it if you like eighties pop country music – if you can find it.
