@JohnInSale: Please dont take this the wrong way, but where have you been? This is the great Ray Price, known the world over, and @ 85 still going . Catch a show , you wont regret it.
@machenderson I'm new to Country Music, grew up with Irish Music and the normal chart stuff. He's not really a household name, but sounds good to me !!!
Only discovered Tom T Hall the week before another artist not as famous as he should be !!!
You are 2 lucky ladies. I hoped to be there also but the stars just weren't in the right place. I'm planning to see him in Mount Pleasant 4/14/12 at the Whatley Center. Can't wait!
MY DAUGHTER AND I SAW RAY PRICE, JAN. 12, 2012 (HIS 86TH BIRTHDAY) AT STAFFORD CENTRE, AND HIS VOICE WAS EVEN STRONGER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN SOME OF HIS EARLIER RECORDINGS. HE SANG TO A SELL-OUT CROWD ON A COLD WEEK DAY. HE PLANS TO START RECORDING AGAIN THIS YEAR. I'M SO HAPPY BECAUSE I'VE ALMOST WORN THIN HIS CURRENT ALBUMS.
Oh my gosh, Ray knocked this out of the ball park!! Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Such an easy beat, gorgeous orchestration, suave singing, wonderful texture and timbre to his voice. Ray was at his peak. Thanks for posting!
This rebound song has knocked me over every time I have heard it. Bill Mack words were in this recording served better than by any cover by any one else.
Dear Flashbell, Thank you so much for uploading "The Great" Mr. Ray Price. I hope you'll continue. My dad had this material when I was just a kid, here in NC.
I also agree with your sentiments. Nashville found mega bucks catering to the younger demographic. It's all about the money now. That demographic would rather hear songs regarding suggestive material and songs about keying a message in someone's four wheel drive. Sad really.
@flashbell I'm looking for a CD or MP3 of "Drinking Champagne" with the great Ray Price, but have been unable to find it.........could you tell me where to find it.....I know XM Radio plays it on Willie's Place.have sent them two emails over the last month but no answer.......would appreciate it if you have any info that would help me.....thanks......1doga1
Lovely song, first time i've ever heard his voice !!!
