Country singers were already familiar with making concept albums before the Beatles ever tried their hand at it, such as with Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs and Bitter Tears. Ray Price here has one too, and Country music works really well for this type of storytelling. The vocals are incredibly clear and the songs are easy to understand. This album feels a bit drenched in Country clichés though, partially because of the era its from and because it influenced what came after. It's an enjoyable listen, but there's much more interesting Country music from this era.
