This album features a spoken introduction from Mr Ray Price himself promising “songs of happiness, sadness, heartbreak.”
To be honest, this is mainly about the latter two emotions featuring late night honky tonks, lonesome streets and ending up in jail because you drank a whole bottle of gin. Again.
Musically, this has its roots in the Western Swing sound with fiddles handing off to gorgeous sounding pedal steel guitars and back again, with solid double bass and drums keeping the tempo going. Ray Price has a mighty fine singing voice holding everything together.
Going back to the intro, Ray urges fans to get in touch and let the band know if you enjoyed the record. Well, I certainly did!
Honky Tonk-tastic!
