A good early Honky Tonk / Country-Pop record of sad songs sung with grace and confidence. Willie Nelson played in Ray's
band for a time (even co-writing the title track here) before they fell out over Nelson's shooting of one of Price's
prized roosters! It?s likable stuff, but very much in the same vein throughout. I?m also a little conflicted about
whether Price's introductory voice over message to his fans is charming or maybe just a tad self indulgent? At first, it
makes you think that maybe you accidentally picked up a promotional version of that album!
