Country Music Hall of Famer Noble Ray Price, who pioneered a shuffling, rhythmic, honky-tonk sound that has had an impact on country music since the mid-1950s, died Sunday, Dec. 15 at age 87, of complications from pancreatic cancer, at his home in Mt. Pleasant, Texas.

Through hits including “Crazy Arms,” “City Lights,” “My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You” and many others, Mr. Price’s full, round voice became one of country’s most beloved and instantly identifiable instruments. His expansive musicality allowed him a 65-year career that changed country music and inspired artists including Willie Nelson, George Jones, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings.

Conflicting reports..

Price's wife, Janie Price, is with her husband and toldThe (Nashville) Tennessean he is alive. "Our lovable Ray Price is still with us," reads a post on her Facebook page. "When it is the time, there will be an official statement."

Looks like it's official now. I'd like to think the media has learned something by trying to be the first ones to reported the news of his passing but I have my doubts.

Sail on Ray

Sail on, Ray Price. Glad I got to see him perform.

Gonna rewatch the Last of the Breed Live In Concert DVD.
