RAY PRICE "the essential ray price" cd 2007

career stats:
studio albums..........51
singles..................116
US country #1 hits.....9

DISC #1

I bought this one last year after I bought his final studio recordings album...
the first disc covers the decade of the 1950s and stops at 1960....
twenty tracks on this disc...
I don't like his pre- rock and roll songs much...
I wasn't aware that his version of 'heartaches by the number' was the original version...
hell, I love that song whoever sings it and this is no exception....
im actually disappointed with disc one of the two disc set I expected more from a 'country legend'...
I hope disc #2 scores better than this, I really do!

I LIKE THIS DISC

worst track: weary blues
best track: I wish I could fall in love today (nice live clip for this one!)

WILLIE NELSON "it always will be" cd, 2004.

career stats:
studio albums......68
live albums..........10
compilations........37
singles...............110

this album...........#75 US

studio album #54 for Willie....
this album is almost strictly country with a couple of country crossover songs and one solitary jazz sounding song...
its Willie....you either like or dislike him I guess, me, as you guys know....I love him!
he wrote most of this album, theres an Allman Brothers cover...
one written by Tom Waits(not sure if it was written for him or whether it is a cover though??)...
Lucinda Williams and Norah Jones also wrote one track each, but seeing as they duet with him on those tracks im assuming they were written
for this album and with Willie in mind....
a good country album by anyones standards and especially good for a this far into his career....
I don't lone this album but it is one of his most consistant IMO because there is no filler on it(most of Willies albums contain one or maybe two tracks I don't like)...

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: picture in a frame
best track: big booty

[video=youtube;soFOBsnCY4w]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soFOBsnCY4w[/video]

tracks:

4...be that as it may (with Paula Nelson) **

RAY PRICE "the essential ray price" cd 2007

career stats:
studio albums..........51
singles..................116
US country #1 hits.....9

DISC #2

this second disc of the two disc set primarily covers the 1960s decade of his career....
I prefer this one over the first disc, especially the crooner type tracks....
again, another artist who sings "danny boy", I just cannot stand that song whoever sings it(even Presley)!
still, not as good as a compilation should be for a musical legend of any genre...

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: danny boy
best track: don't you ever get tired of hurting me?

tracks:

1...San Antonio rose **
2...ive just destroyed the world **
3...pride **
4...walk me to the door **
5...night life *
6...make the world go away **
7...burning memories **
8...the other woman **
9...don't you ever get tired of hurting me? ***
10.a way to survive **
11.im still not over you **
12.i'll let my ming wander **
13.danny boy *
14.she wears my ring **
15.you wouldn't know love ***
16.for the good times **
17.i wont mention it again **
18.i'd rather be sorry **
19.youre the best thing that ever happened to me **
20.faded love (with Willie Nelson) **

Tammy is one of my favorite country stars.
I cried watching her funeral on TV :frown: It was so sad!

My favorite is Till I Can Make It On My Own.

BTW MH, I don't know some of those songs.
Must have missed them somehow.

39 albums to his credit
peak was the 70's
biggest hit was Coca Cola Cowboy from the movie Every Which Way But Loose
that is included here but other hits must be elsewhere
would not recommend this one

my fav but it's not listed as a single
