After some premature reports yesterday, today we receive word that country legend Ray Price has passed away after a nearly two-year battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 87.
Engine 145, CMT, Variety, and lots of other outlets have worthwhile stories. Curiously, The Tennessean seems to be taking its time in getting Peter Cooper’s fine remembrance back up…
(Edit: And then The Tennessean story was back up!)
Thanks for the music, Mr. Price.
