Country music lost one of its most beautiful and influential voices on December 16, 2013. The number of artists influenced by Ray Price is countless, not to mention the artists that were members of his legendary band, the Cherokee Cowboys.

Shortly before his death at the age of 87, Ray recorded his final album 'Beauty Is...' and one thing was certain: The feeling and emotion was with Ray to the very end. A number of singles have been released from the album and we've proudly played them all here at KXRB and KXRB.com. And now they've released another.

This single is in many ways particularly special. It was written by one of those artists most influenced by Ray, not only by his music but by his friendship.

Give a listen to the beautiful 'It Always Will Be', written by music icon Willie Nelson.
