In 2013, the great Nashville star died at the age of 87. The singer of country classics like Heartache By Numbers and Faded Love had been on stage until shortly before his death, including with Willie Nelson. Nelson was already playing bass in Price's band at a young age. For The Good Times pays homage to its old boss, from living legend Nelson, who himself is already over 80. Nelson can rely on
… an oeuvre that goes far beyond country & western. He was even one of the outlaws who oppose the sweet Nashville sound. For The Good Times is a deliciously sugar-sweet country album, full of string-framed, sobbing American life songs. With his characteristic lilting and languid voice, Nelson makes these classics his own. A warm and loving tribute to Price as well as some immortal country standards. (MR)more
