Only the Bear Family could produce something this epic. Folks, if you're a Ray Price fan, you'd best start saving your money and buy this box set. I will guarantee you will not be disappointed. There are 10 CDs here with over 250 songs from Ray Price and the Cherokee Cowboys. AND, this is the original Ray Price of true western honky-tonk, and those signature Fiddles....not the Ray Price of the early 70's and the background orchestra and violins of the Nashville Sound. I honestly cannot sing enough praises about this set, it really is that good. All I can tell you, is that if you don't own this set, you are missing one huge chunk of time from the golden years of Country Music.

This is one of the most greatest sets I have ever owned. On the first three CD's you will hear the early side of Ray Price and many of the songs you will notice his Hank Williams influence. Many of you might not know that for a time Ray and Hank shared an apartment together and Hank was very instrumental in getting Ray's career started. The set ends with his classic, Danny Boy. His versions of songs such as Letters Have No Arms and also his classic album San Antonio Rose, A Tribute To The Great Bob Wills plus his Night Life album are all included her! Highly recommended!
