CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com At the age of 74, Ray Price has released an album that can be heard as both a career capper and an ambitious new chapter. After acknowledging his honky-tonk roots with the opening "Better Class of Loser," the countrypolitan crooner addresses the classic American songbook, applying his conversational phrasing to material immortalized by the likes of Louis Armstrong ("What a Wonderful World"), Frank Sinatra ("Fly Me to the Moon"), and Billie Holiday ("Body & Soul"). Only the Beatles' "In My Life" sounds like too much of an interpretive stretch for Price. Where many of his crossover hits in the '60s and early '70s suffered from saccharine production, here the string arrangements by David Campbell (father of pop star Beck) recall the bittersweet sophistication of Nelson Riddle's Sinatra sessions. File Prisoner of Love next to Willie Nelson's Stardust on the short shelf of genre-busting country classics. --Don McLeese Similar CDs

CD ReviewsSoft Rain Vicky O'Brien | Las Vegas, NV. | 10/18/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have listened to Ray Price for many many years and I have never found anyone that comes close to his music or his wonderful voice. I have as many albums,cassettes and CD that I can find. I played his music so much I have my children as crazy over him as I am. He has not gotten the recognizion he deserves. I saw him in Casper, Wyoming again in Sparks, Nv. and I absolutely love his music. He puts on one of the best shows I have ever seen. He is worth traveling miles to see." A Great Voice laurent czerniewicz | gouy sous bellonne France | 01/26/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Ray Price as a crooner.All the album is not liked .Then after several listening,one adores the remainder.One is captive by this voice.this great voice and these great musicians. One swingue on "better glass of loosers,"soft rain","ramblin' rose","i've got a new heartache"..... One must have this album of Ray Price.It is essential. How not enter in the legend after that!" Ray Demonstrates His Versatility Kent Moore | 11/27/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "After buying Ray Price's "Time" CD (highly recommended) and seeing him in concert (fabulous), I went back and bought "Prisoner of Love." His voice remains excellent in his 70s. This CD expands his versatile output by doing pop standards. The best song on the CD is the gorgeous "If It's Love (Then Bet it All)." Other highlights are the poignant "I Wish I Was 18 Again", "The Only Bridge", "In My Life", "Soft Rain", and a very nice cover of "Ramblin' Rose." His pop-style re-recording of "I've Got a New Heartache" is almost a different song than this honky-tonk version of the 1950s. Which one you like better is a matter of personal taste, but I like the new version better. If you like Ray's countrypolitan sound when he did "For the Good Times" and "I'd Rather Be Sorry", you definitely should buy this CD."
