When Ray price was inducted into the Country Music hall of Fame, he said, "It's about time." Ray spent 35 years on the charts, generating 46 Top-10 hits, so his induction was certinaly over due.

For an artist who dominated the charts for more then three decades, generating 46 Top-10 hits, including the 4th biggest song (Crazy Arms) in country music all-time, his induction was certinaly over due. Price started out honing his skills as a Hank Williams' protege. When Hank died in 1953, Ray struck out on his own and formed the Cherokee Cowboys. During the next twenty years, Ray was a dominate force in country music, in terms of talend, chart hits and influence.

This is Ray Price at his best. Not only is he a great performer, but he always surrounded himself with the best Nashville session musicians such as those on this song: Grady Martin (guitar), Harold Bradley (rhythm guitar), Buddy Emmons (steel), Tommy Jackson (fiddle), Floyd Cramer (piano) and Buddy Harmon (drums). Recorded 3/19/65 Nashville

(written by Ralph E. Mooney / Chuch Seals)

Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And the storms brewing in this heart of mine

This ain't no crazy dream I know that its real
You're someone else's love now, you're not mine

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
For my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine

My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

So, please take the treasured dreams I had for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine

Someday my crazy arms may hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonely all the time

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
For my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine

My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And thats why I am lonely all the

One of the best classic country tunes I can think of.

It's unbelievable how after 50+ years of music has elapsed, the feeling of heartbreak hasn't been conveyed in music more accurately.

The greatest thing about the later versions of this song sung by the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis and Willie Nelson is to remind me how GREAT the original by Ray Price was!

Because most singers now are simpletons with no talent.

I am a new listener to this. I hadn't heard this song until I was older, About maybe 23 or so. I'm 25 years old now. Shameful, Because this song is part of my own family. My third Cousin had wrote this song.
