The thirty-fourth album: #34 Ray Price - Night Life
Getting some country in now, it's already a nice step up from the jazz I've been fairly ambiguous about so far. Ray Price sounds fairly good, although I'm not quite sure these country songs require the biggest vocal workout. The songs cover the standard familiar territory of love and places, and I'm not sure it quite leads me many places. It started off as a good change of pace, but I'm not sure this has the variation you see even in other country albums.
The lyrics are much more distinguishing. While there are a bunch of standard songs, others tell more of a story (as it often feels country does), of loneliness and pride, and thos estand out more. They may not quite get everything there, but it's still pretty decent. That's where the album seems to shine, rather than the music as others would.
