Album Review: Willie Nelson - For The Good Times: A Tribute To Ray Price

"The music of one legend of the genre, filtered through the interpretation of another."

More Willie Nelson Willie Nelson

After an album of George Gershwin covers earlier this year, the Willie Nelson tribute train keeps on rollin' along.

This time he's paying homage to a musical peer and long time friend with For The Good Times: A Tribute To Ray Price. The music of one legend of the genre, filtered through the interpretation of another — this is classic, unapologetic country from a time long gone. From stripped-back, pedal steel-fuelled restraint, to fiddle-driven good times, to lush, orchestra-filled beauty, Willie Nelson mixes nostalgia, affection and cowboy movie harmonies for an irresistible throwback.
