• Track Listing

In between his early session work at Sun (Sam Phillips thought he could challenge Elvis) and his country breakthrough at Epic, Charlie recorded these 1965–66 Smash sides—sides that Charlie called the favorite of his career. Country, R&B and rock ’n’ roll each come in healthy doses as you hear his big 1965 hit Mohair Sam plus No Home; I Can’t Go On; Dance of Love; Down and Out; Hawg Jaw; Party Girl; That’s My Way; The Best Years; So Long; Blowin’ Town, and more!
