• Track Listing

This, right here, is no ordinary tribute album. This one comes straight from the heart, as Willie was in Ray Price’s Cherokee Cowboys way back in ’61 and the two remained close friends for decades. "Beauty Is…," Ray’s last album before his death in 2013, featured producer Fred Foster and string conductor Bergen White; for this salute to his friend and mentor, Willie teamed with both Foster and Bergen and also recorded in the church chapel where Ray’s last album was made. Vince Gill, the Time Jumpers and Willie’s harmonica player Mickey Raphael join Willie as he digs into Price’s best-loved honky-tonk classics, string-soaked countrypolitan ballads and country shuffles: "Heartaches by the Number," "Faded Love," "Crazy Arms," "City Lights," "For the Good Times," "Invitation to the Blues," "Make the World Go Away," "I’m Still Not over You," "Night Life" and more. Willie and Ray teamed up with Merle Haggard for 2007’s "Last of the Breed,"; Willie’s the last of those great men standing, and here he honors his fellow country legend Ray Price with one of his most heartfelt, beautifully sung albums in many years.
