I'll Be There (When You Get Lonely)
Performer: Ray Price
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Sony's budget Ray Price Greatest Hits compilation includes many of the legendary country crooner's biggest hits, including "Crazy Arms," "City Lights," and "Invitation to the Blues." While the material itself is good, there's a lot more to the man than 12 songs. Mega-fans looking for a more comprehensive Price chronicle would be better off picking up Bear Family's insane ten-disc Honky Tonk Years (1950-1966). ~ James Christopher Monger
Texan country singer Ray Price got the best possible start by having Hank Williams himself for a mentor. After Williams's death, Price began using Hank's Drifting Cowboys as a backup band and performing in a remarkably similar style. After putting together a new band to find his own sound, he essentially invented the 4/4 country shuffle, replacing the traditional country 2/4 beat. This combination of honky-tonk and Western Swing both influenced a whole school of country and helped pave the way for rockabilly. Besides his voluminous body of solo work, Price was also known for his latter-day collaborations with Willie Nelson, whose "Night Life" had been an early-'60s Price hit.
