Dusky and moody. Bright early country but in a nightlife honky tonk way. I hadn't heard of Ray Price despite liking country a lot and didn't know Willie Nelson was part of his band. Great writing and a sophisticated country feel without being over the top. Also learned about his 4/4 shuffle beat which I did not know he pioneered. Highlights: Night Life, The Wild Side of Life
Its not bad but not my thing - 2.5
Dig the pedal steel and stellar musicianship. Definitely evokes a vision of bars of ill repute, the very best kind. 3/5.
I wasn't expecting to like today's album as I don't love most country, but I thought his voice was good and I enjoyed a lot of the lyrics. I probably wouldn't seek this out by I'm glad I heard it. 3.5.
He's got a great voice and I love the double bass and pedal steel guitars. It's all a bit "safe" and pleasant, though, but a nice listen. 3 / 5 stars.
Honky Tonk goes Music Row. A slick slice of the seedier life by a master of singing.
