"The Fabulous Charlie Rich" is a 1969 album by country music legend Charlie Rich. In its review, All Music praises the album for capturing "the eclectic nature of Rich's music better than the great majority of his albums", but warns "country purists" that producer Billy Sherrill's production may make it less to their tastes. [allmusicguide |id=hifrxq8hldae|label=The Fabulous Charlie Rich] In spite of launching several hit singles, the album was not a widespread commercial success. [allmusicguide |id=hifoxqugldje|label=Boss Man] The album has, however, been critically well received, warmly praised by a number of reviewers including "Rolling Stone Magazine", who gave the album "five stars", [Marsh, Dave and John Swenson, eds. "The Rolling Stone Record Guide", 2nd ed. Random House/Rolling Stone Press. 1982.] and Robert Christgau who asserted that "I never took Charlie's could-been-Elvis rep very seriously until I heard the passionately confident Jimmy Reed medley that opens side two of this Nashville album".
