Night Life

Not my vibe really but it's not unpleasant either. The intro is a bit goofy and feels VERY dated but you can't really blame them when it's 60+ years old.

Honky Tonkin all the way home. Wild Side Of Life is a good tune. If She Could See Me Now is another good one.

A fine example... of a genre I don't care for.

I put off listening to this for over a week after it was generated, waiting until I was in a sufficiently open minded state to give it a fair chance. It's decent for country, but, you know... it's country. Sorry.

Pretty middle-of-the-road stuff. It's well made but nothing really blows my hair back.

This is not my favorite genre and it's an outdated version of a genre I'm not loving. It's well done, no complaints there, but I don't see myself listening to it again.

Night Life feels like a kitschy dive-bar soundtrack, complete with a hilariously sleazy cover. Backed by legends like Floyd Cramer and Willie Nelson, Price delivers smooth, mournful country vocals that capture the essence of heartbreak. While the formulaic honky-tonk can get repetitive if you're not in the right mood, the stellar musicianship makes it a genuine, bittersweet classic.

Also your night life is what Ray Price likes to watch, just remember that...

Country der frühen 60er. Das Album wirkt sehr kitschig und besingt die heile Welt, wie sich die ältere Generation sich das erträumte. Wer das Album hört, weiß warum die Welt auf die Beatles, Stones und Who wartete.

Why don't more albums have an introduction? oh, yeah, coz it makes 2 minutes feel like 10!

Country perfection. I despise steel guiar.

Decent sort of "lounge country." Lacks edge, but well executed. Willie-heads hate this version of Nightlife.

This album makes me feel like a cowboy in the wild west.

I had to stop halfway through. Good lord this was awful. References to "Honky-tonk angels" and doubts as to whether his girlfriend would make a good wife are the general thrust of this album.

0.5/5.0: Unlistenable

he had a great voice but this album was terrible

Liked it, nice and chilled morning vibes

Biiseinä ihan jees mut tekstit on kyllä välillä aika huoh.

I hadn't heard of Ray Price before. From what I can gather, he was notable for being one of the best baritone singers in country music and helped popularize the shift of the beat in country songs from 2/4 to 4/4 time.

There's a bit more to the story though, as one of the members of his touring band that played on this album was a young Willie Nelson, playing bass and backing vocals.

As for the music itself, this is the chill yet upbeat country music that would be expected from such a pairing. Every instrument has its moment in the limelight, and Ray's delivery is silky smooth. There were a fair amount of standouts from the opening title track to the end with "Are You Are". It was a pleasant listen and as such gets a solid recommendation.

Very old fashioned country and western, but with plenty of charm and a sense of humour. I liked it, but don't think I'll come back to it any time soon. A solid three, ni more, no less

Pretty awful...I almost dislike this type of country more than modern popcountry. 1/5

It’s… realistically, just a 3. It’s a pretty atypical country album for this time period I think, with a little extra flair here and there, and nothing really stands out except for a few tracks… but personally, it’s an album I think I’ll keep in shuffle.

I have an incredible nostalgia for this type of soundscape – the country twang, the strong vocals, the fiddles and violins and strings mixed with crisp drums. The feeling this album gave me really, really did send me back to days of sitting in a car that still took old cassette tapes, with my dad popping them in during any car trips, and they always sounded like this. I haven’t forgotten that sound, but I haven’t actively been seeking it out. This album has made me want to revisit that sound; to find those old cassettes, to see what they were and to see if they hold up.

It’s just a really nice album for me, and I'm glad I listened to it.

This all sounded pretty much the same after the first song. Good for what it is (and definitely better than modern pop-country), but not really my thing.
