The first half of this album reminds me of more classic honky-tonk, Hank Williams-ish voice and musical vibe. Its good, notably "Ill Be There" and "Release Me". To my taste, though, from "Wasted Words" on to the end of the record there isnt a bad note on this album; this is chronologically later material, with a more evolved sound, stellar pedal steel guitar playing (some, if not all of which is probably the great Buddy Emmons), Rays voice is fantastic, the cuts are beautifully put together, not overdone, and itll have you screaming, singing, and crying. This is music for whoopin it up, or for bourbon and heartbreak. One of my desert-island discs, truly. Night Life, also Ray Price, is another absolutely fantastic record.
