I've come to a realization that I need to bone up on a little music history. (Thanks a lot XM radio  ) Would someone please recommend a Ray Price album to study. I'm not interested in the $250 box set. Looking for something along the lines of a good "greatest hits" collection or two. CD only.
There is one called "16 Biggest Hits" and another called "The Essential RP (1951-'62)" and another "Greatest Hits" on Sony. Anybody have those? (all listed on Amazon.com) |

| I don't know if the ones you've just listed are ones you already have, but "The Essential Ray Price" on Columbia IS GREAT (for a comiplation CD), IMO. If you don't have it, it's surely a great place to start for the classic R.P.a.t.C.C. sound. |

| I have been reminded that there is some RP stuff out there that is SANS steel guitar. Obviously, I'm not interested in that material. |

| If ya really want to go hole hog, that is, go for all of it, get the Bear Family Records 10 CD box set. It'll cost probably $225 but it's worth every penny. Great Jimmy Day, great Buddy Emmons, and it'll bring tears to yer eyes what they do. Absolutely amazing steel work. |

"Touch My Heart" has been reissued with a steel-less "Burning Memories" on a single disc. Classic Buddy!

IMHO, "Night Life" is the essential Ray Price album. Some of THE greatest shuffles ever written, and it has Buddy Emmons on steel guitar!
Cheers!

| The Willie Nelson/Ray Price "San Antonio Rose" is a great one, with Buddy Emmons coming on strong. |

Apart from the obvious vintage stuff, you just have to get "Ray Price and the Cherokee Cowboys Reunited", an ABC/Dot release from 1977. Buddy has never played better!

| Just FYI, it appears "The Other Woman" is out of print. There are a couple used copies out there for $50. |
