Customer Rating:
Summary: So much better than most current Country music
Comment: Willie and Ray sound incredible together. This record goes to show that some voices don't grow old but just mellow and develop different personalities.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Unexpected Beauty In The Face Of Underwhelming Objectivity
Comment: Wow, a five-star review. Well, yes, it is, and with good reason. Willie Nelson, an artist who, like many, has given himself over to the monster otherwise known as MOR, has created an album here that is a throwback to a time when records were simple affairs, just a few guys and their instruments belting out tunes for everyone to enjoy.
Indeed, it's the simplicity of this record that allows the pure joy of the work to shine. This is clearly the kind of work that the artists create from sheer love of country music, rather than any cultural or economic imperative (Willie's tax problems aside).
Ray Price shines on this album as well, complementing his good friend's wandering lyrical melodies with his own rocksteady baritone stylings. To use a cliche (if I may), theirs is a vocal match made in heaven, or at least in the honkytonks of Texas. Each song is a meditation on life, loss, love and music; each tune weaves its own individual path through the album, creating a strong theme throughout the piece.
Don't expect fancy musicianship or throaty theatrics from this album, but do expect an album that is both mature and vital, brimming with life yet inexorably contemplative.

Summary: Ray Price is singin' better than ever.
Comment: Willie's voice hasn't changed a bit, and Ray is singing better than he ever has. If you're a fan of "good" country music then pick up this album. Buy this cd and then call every country music radio station in your area and surrounding areas and request some music from this record. It was recently nominated for a Grammy and these two guys deserve some airplay on the radio. Let's get people knowing about this album. I give it five stars because there isn't a bad song on it.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: the way it was, and is
Comment: If this isn't a great album, it's something just as worthy: a good, solid, sturdy one. Two pros do what they do best, Texas honkytonk shuffles, sad songs of faded love, and stripped-down Western swing. Willie Nelson and Ray Price are the masters of this variety of grown-up music. Price's presence is a particular treat. He records less often than Nelson does, and if he isn't as wildly experimental, he is a dependable exponent of a nearly lost kind of country music. You can't fake these very fine, unsparing songs, in which no falsehood or sentimentality is to be discerned. You have to have lived these stories, and no young, callow hunk with a big cowboy hat and an obnoxiously loud, soulless band could even try. And is there a truer song -- in any genre -- than the late Floyd Tillman's "This Cold War with You"?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good, but not as good as the first time.
Comment: Don't get this expecting something on the same level as "San Antonio Rose." This is fantastic music, but not nearly as good as their first offering.Willie is in fantastic voice here. He definately redeems himself after "Beer For My Horses." Ray Price is in excellent voice. This is an excellent swing record, and ten times better than the best stuff coming out of Nashville these days. But, But, But, please don't get this hoping for something as good as "San Antonio Rose."

In September of 1961, Ray Price was a superstar and Willie Nelson was his bass player. As part of Price's Cherokee Cowboys, Willie played on Price's pioneering Bob Wills tribute LP San Antonio Rose. Twenty years later, after Willie had become superstar in his own right, the two re-teamed for a second San Antonio Rose, this one a set of honky-tonk and Western swing duets that yielded two Top 10 singles. Twenty-two years after that release, they're back for yet another exquisite, relaxed romp through the same Texas-Southwestern axis. The tunes are familiar: classics by Floyd Tillman ("I'll Keep on Loving You") and Bob Wills ("Deep Water"), a Price original ("Soft Rain"), an obscure Willie original ("I'm So Ashamed"), and a couple of Willie tunes that Price rendered hits ("I Just Destroyed the World," "I'm Still Not Over You"). Their understated approach isn't the only strength. Willie, at 70, and Price, at 77, retain nearly all of their vocal power, a result of near-nonstop touring that keeps their voices limber, supremely expressive, and, most importantly, as capable of moving a listener as they were decades ago. --Rich Kienzle
