Performer: Charley Pride
Distributor: BMG Special Products Notes: Tributee: Hank Williams. Personnel: Charley Pride (vocals, guitar); The Jordanaires (background vocals). Charley Pride salutes Hank Williams on this fine collection by covering Williams' songs such as "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You)," "Honky Tonk Blues," "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" alongside an original tribute tune, "There's A Little Bit Of Hank In Me." ~ James Chrispell
One of country's biggest names and its first and unquestionably greatest African-American star, Charley Pride enjoyed a remarkable run of top 20 hits between 1966 and 1984. His easy listening sound recalls earlier greats Eddy Arnold and Jim Reeves; with a gentle, flutteringly lonesome voice, Pride sang deceptively simple songs of the first breath of love and the final strains of separation, the call of the highway and the desire that plagued the lonely rider. In 1972, Pride crossed over to the pop charts with his version of Jim Peters' honky-tonkin' ode to eternal love's curative powers, "Kiss an Angel Good Morning."
