(*) LP lançado originalmente em 1972.

Biografia:
Nome verdadeiro: Robert Charles Guidry, nascido no dia 21 de fevereiro de 1938, em Abbeville, Louisiana, EUA (nota minha: e falecido, de causas naturais, no dia 14 de janeiro de 2010, em sua cidade natal). Charles tornou-se conhecido na década de 50, quando três canções suas – "See You Later Alligator", "Walking To New Orleans" e "But I Do" – tornaram-se sucessos através das interpretações de Bill Haley, Fats Domino e Clarence "Frogman" Henry.

O compositor também gravou para o selo Chess Records, de Chicago, mas retornou ao sul na década seguinte apenas para frustrar-se com uma série de lançamentos desnecessários e inexitosos. A carreira do cantor revigorou-se em 1972 após assinar com a gravadora Bearsville, de Albert Grossman. "Bobby Charles" contou com a participação de vários membros da The Band, e o excelente disco combinou R&B e cajun, gêneros presentes nas raízes do artista, criando uma seleção calorosa e madura.

O álbum apresentou esplêndidas composições, destacando-se a multigravada "Small Town Talk".

Charles então colaborou, como convidado, nos dois discos da Paul Butterfield's Better Days, mas, a partir dali, manteve-se em discreta reclusão. Durante o tempo em que passou com Neil Young e a Crazy Horse, em meados dos anos 70, ele compôs, em parceria com Tim Drummond, "Saddle Up The Palomino", gravada por Young.

Mais tarde, um novo disco, "Clean Water", foi lançado na Europa, em 1987, e mais dois álbuns apareceram pela etiqueta Stony Plain nos anos 90, revelando o grande talento musical de Charles (The Encyclopedia Of Popular Music. Compiled and edited by Colin Larkin. New York: Omnibus Press, 2007, pp. 297-8; tradução livre do inglês).
