Priceless legacy of Beauty Is… proves Ray Price’s relevancy in a new music generation
“Offstage, he was just the guy I love. When that red light went on in the studio, or when he stepped onto the stage and they handed him that microphone, something happened. It was a higher power. This transformation took place in him. He turned into RAY PRICE.” – Janie Price
“Graceful to the end, Price takes a final bow with an elegant collection that nicely caps a great musical legacy.” – Michael McCall, Associated Press
“Beauty Is… is the sound of a man in full, looking back on the life and love that fulfilled him. It is the most graceful of exits.” – Peter Cooper, Tennessean
“After one listen of this remarkable album, you will note that Price’s flawless phrasing, vocal resonance and burnished warmth of tone create a glow that lingers long after the final notes have sounded.” – Robert K. Oermann, Music Row
“Price recorded this 12-track farewell that eschews self-pity for warmth, compassion and a vibrancy of spirit that reverberated until his last days. With a voice that lost none of its luster and a full complement of strings and big melodies on tracks like An Affair to Remember with Martina McBride and No More Songs to Sing, Price crafted a final love letter to his wife, Janie, that will leave fans loving and missing him even more.” – Erik Ernst, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“We are extremely delighted and honored to have released Beauty Is…,” says AmeriMonte Records President Steve Popovich Jr. “This album falls nothing short of a true masterpiece and you’ll understand why he believed this to be of his best work. He captured true perfection and left a huge void not only in Country music, but in music in general. There will only be one Ray Price and throughBeauty Is…his legacy will live on forever.”
