Ray Price & Cherokee Cowboys: The Honky Tonk Years 1950-1966 (10-CD Deluxe Box Set)
'...during the rockabilly and early country-pop years Ray Price almost single handedly kept the hard country torch aflame and, in so doing, virtually created an industry of musicians who either wrote or played for him.'Bill Malone.
For years, we've had requests to document Ray Price's classic years, and so we have! Starting with the Bullet record Jealous Lies in 1950, we follow Ray's career up to Danny Boyin 1966, which marked a turning point. In between, we have Ray's classic hillbilly shuffle period. Songs like City Lights, Crazy Arms, My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You, Heartaches By The Number, Night Life, Release Me and I've Got A New Heartache are included, along with all the albums, and an incredible session-by-session booklet with hundreds of rare photos. It amounts to a seminal collection that every fan of '50s and '60s country music will want. Ray Price, who was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1996, will celebrate his 86th birthday on January 12, 2012.

For The Good Times
Ray Price
For The Good Times (Kris Kristofferson)
recorded March 16, 1970; Columbia Recording Studio, 804 16th Avenue South, Nashville, Tennessee; Producer: Don Law
with Ray Price: vocal; other details unknown
Columbia 4-45178 - master NCO 101434
Published in 1968 and first recorded that year by Bill Nash, For The Good Times languished for two years. “I wrote it in the late spring or early summer of 1968,” Kristofferson told 'The Tennessean' “I was dividing my time between making nothing as a Nashville songwriter and making $900 a month flying helicopters to offshore oil rigs in the Gulf. On one of those drives I began a song about making love to a woman for the last time. After a while, the melody really got to me. I couldn't wait to get to a guitar. I was riding along thinking about that part where it says, 'Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowin' soft against the window' and I wondered what the chords were. Hell, I wondered if I could play 'em. I only wrote the first part of the lyrics then. A while went by before I finished it. Can't remember how long, but I do remember who I wrote it about.” The song was published by Marijohn Wilkin, who'd given Kristofferson his first break.
Songwriter Ray Pennington worked for Wilkin and saw how Kristofferson's songs for Monument Records/Combine Music were storming the charts. Going through the seventy or so songs that Kristofferson had written for Wilkin, he decided that For The Good Times would be a good fit for Ray Price. Discovering that Price was in Odessa, Texas, he couriered a tape or acetate of For The Good Times out to him. “We were playing the Stardust Club in Odessa,” Price said later, “and a musician brought me in a demo tape of the song. I listened to it and after the next break, I got everyone together and played it for them and told the band that this would be my biggest record of all time." Although Columbia Records had forced Don Law into retirement three years earlier, he was still producing Price and Carl Smith. At a later session with Price and Law, songwriter Hal Bynum watched Price in action and had an astute observation: “Price's great talent,” he decided later, “[is] that he phrased in a manner that forced the listener to pay attention to the words of the song. He broke the notes down into patterns of human speech so that it was not possible to groove along, listening only to the beauty of the voice and the melody. It was an added dimension of communication.
Price, in order to work all this out and perfect it, would have to be very intelligent.” That skill is greatly in evidence here. In the wake of For The Good Times, Price assembled a 22-piece orchestra and went to Las Vegas. In January 1973, Columbia president Clive Davis came to Nashville to present platinum LPs to Price and Law in recognition of one million LPs sold. By then, the single had reportedly topped eleven million copies.

Ray Price as a honky tonk singer
For the last several decades of his life, Ray Price could be seen on television singing easy listening songs with an orchestra. He was an older man and his audience was older. He was admired as a crooner. All that is fine with me, but my preference is for "cry in your beer" jukebox honky-tonk country. After so many television appearances, it's hard for me to realize what pure a honkytonker Ray Price was for well over a decade. This box set contain the complete first sixteen years of Ray Price's recordings. Like George Jones, it is a delight to hear Ray find his own sound and expand his vocal range.
shuffle on RAy
