About this album
Champagne Charlie is a deft tribute to pre-war American song, with Leon Redbone filtering ragtime, blues and Dixieland through his slyly old-fashioned style. Released in 1978, the album finds Redbone reviving standards and early popular tunes with a dry wit and an unforced sense of period detail, turning songs such as “Please Don’t Talk About Me When I’m Gone” and “Sweet Sue (Just You)” into polished character pieces. Its appeal lies in how carefully it balances nostalgia and personality, helping establish Redbone as one of the era’s most distinctive revivalists.
