Ray Price is a country music performer from Texas, USA. Having been in the profession since 1948, he is considered as one of the best country singers of all time. He has been praised for his vocal ability, his singing range, and the longevity of his career. Amongst his most recognized work are his songs “Crazy Arms”, “City Lights”, “Release Me”, “Night Life”, “Heartaches by the Number”, “For the Good Times”, “You’re the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me”, “My Shoes Keep Walking Back to You”, “Danny Boy”, and “I Won’t Mention It Again”. In his career, he has won two Grammy Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards, and one Country Music Association Award. In 1996, he was also inducted into the “Country Music Hall of Fame”. Ray Price continues to be a recording artist to this date. He released his latest album, “Last of the Breed” in 2008. He has been touring and selling Ray Price tickets even now.

Ray Price was born on January 12, 1926 in Perryville, Texas. Between 1944 and 1946, Price served in the US Marines, before starting a career in singing by performing for KRBC in 1948. The following year, he joined a popular comedy and country themed radio show, “Big D Jamboree”. This was the show that has served as a starting point for many successful careers: Elvis Presley, the Shelton Brothers, Dianne Foster and Johnny Cash have all appeared on the show. In the beginning of the 1950s, Price moved to Nashville where he shortly lived with Hank Williams. After Williams’ death, Price took on the responsibility of managing his music group, the “Drifting Cowboys”. He received some amount of success with this new work; he became the first artist to have a hit with the song “Release Me” in 1954, a feat which would be later achieved in 1967 by Engelbert Humperdinck.

In 1953, Ray Price went onto a different venture. He decided to form his own country band which he then called the Cherokee Cowboys. The band was active throughout the 50s and through some of the 60s and went through a variety of different line ups during this time. The members included Willie Nelson, Johnny Bush Darrell McCall, Roger Miller, and Johnny Paycheck. These members together gained success, and even went onto collaborate after the band split up. At the time when the solo act Ray Price tickets were being bought, Miller and Nelson went onto help him write new material. Miller wrote one of Price’s hits, “Invitation to the Blues”, and Nelson wrote the other hit, “Night Life”. Nelson would go onto collaborate with Price much later on in his career as well.

In the mid 1950s, Price’s music took on a different turn—he now started to get associated with the honky tonk sound. In this genre, he had hits such as “Talk to Your Heart” in 1952, and later on with “Release Me”. Price even perpetuated a new technique in honky tonk, an arrangement he called the “Ray Price Shuffle”. It was a 4/4 arrangement which had a unique bass line. The song in which this technique was most prominent was his 1956 hit “Crazy Arms”. Most of his recordings of the 1950s contained this sound.

In the 1960s, his music entered yet another new era. He was now interested in adopting the famous “Nashville sound”. This meant singing ballads, incorporating the “big band” feel skewed towards strings, and using a proper choir of backup singers. This new sound was evident in his 1967 hit “Danny Boy” and the 1970 single, “For the Good Times”. The latter was Price’s first number one hit since 1959 with “The Same Old Me”. It was written by Kris Kristofferson, and it also became a hit on the popular music charts. Ray Price was seen anew; a sophisticated balladeer who used orchestrated scores and backup singers as opposed to the honky tonk music he had been so closely associated with in the beginning of his career.In more recent times, Ray Price has become a charter of gospel music, with recordings like “Amazing Grace”, “Rock of Ages”, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”, and “Farther Along”. In his recent work “Last of the Breed”, he collaborated with country music stars Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. The track list consists of 20 classic country songs and some new recordings as well. Ray Price tickets continue to sell for this new sound, and for the legacy in country and honky tonk that he has created.
