High Lonesome
No filler, no weak tracks - a classic that bridges that gap between country and southern rock. While all of Charlie's albums contain at least one or two great songs, he hasn't yet managed to match this album's depth. The two slow songs ("High Lonesome" and "Slow Song") are very evocative, and Roll Mississippi is rollicking. This is the album that turned me on to the CDB and I have to admit I was disappointed the other albums didn't sound this good. That's not a comment on the quality of his other work, though; it's high praise for High Lonesome. If you're a fan of Skynyrd, the Allmans or the Outlaws, you need this in your collection. This album isn extremely underated. This album is chocked full of great southern/country rock songs with some fine picking. If you enjoy southern rock guitar playing do not hesitate to pick up this album. In addition you might want to pick up other CDB classics such as Fire on the Mountain, Nightrider, and Saddle tramp, which came before the band went commercial.
