Night Life
Night Lifeis a bluesy, boozy affair, its dark disposition established with the classic Willie Nelson-penned opener/title track ("The night life ain't no good life, but it's my life"). Price and a crack crew of players seize that mood like a drunk clinging to a double bourbon. "In the real dark night of the soul it is always three o'clock in the morning," wrote F. Scott Fitzgerald. And albums likeNight Lifeare softly playing.--Steven Stolder
