Ray PriceThunder Country Bringing Ray Price to Monticello Raceway
Thunder Country All-Time Favorites show presents country music legend Ray Price on Friday, September 19 at 7 p.m. in the grandstand at Monticello Gaming & Raceway.
On August 27 last year over 10,000 fans came through the Bethel Woods gates for the Last Of The Breed Tour featuring Willie Nelson, Merge Haggard and Ray Price and in reviewing the fan reaction and applause the overall favorite was the 82-year-old Ray Price singing many of his top recordings such as San Antonio Rose, For The Good Times, Heartaches By The Number and Release Me.
There is no doubt that Price can still sing with a beautiful tone in his voice.
Inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1996, he celebrated his 50th year in the music business in 1999.
His appearance and singing clearly show why Ray Price was named eight time the "Number One Country & Western Singer."
His timeless music, incredible voice, and innovative genius have yet to be equaled by any other singer in today's country-music world.
Born on January 12, 1926, Ray is also a songwriter and guitarist.
Price served in the Marines from 1944-1946 and began singing on KRBC in Abilene, Texas in 1948. He joined the "Big D Jamboree" in Dallas in 1949 and hit Nashville in the early 1950's, rooming for a shirt time with the late Hank Williams.
In 1953 Price formed his famous band, the Cherokee Cowboys.
During the 1960's Ray experimented increasingly with the Nashville sound, singing slow ballads and utilizing lush arrangements of strings and backing singers.
Thunder Country's own Rivers Edge Band will open the show for Ray Price.
Show is 7 p.m. with the doors opening at 6 p.m. Gold seats are $39 and general admission is $29.
For tickets call 845-794-4100, Ext. 494 or visit the Monticello Gaming & Raceway Gift Shop.
