Widow Explains Ray Price's Beefs With Dean Martin, Blake Shelton
. Evidence in support of this is a new interview with the late country legend Ray Price's wife, who spoke with Rolling Stone about her husband's recently released posthumous album dedicated to her, Beauty Is'The Final Sessions. Even though Price was known as an even-keeled guy, he still had a few hiccups with other artists, namely Dean Martin and Blake Shelton. In the interview, Janie Price recalls the time The Dean Martin Show producers recruited her husband to come on the show, with the stipulation that he perform while wearing cowboy garb in front of hay bales. Well, Mr. Price wasn't having it. "Ray said, 'I don't wear hats. You go and get Dean Martin and if he will wear the hat and sit on this bale of hay with me, I'll do it,'" she recalls--and Price's unwavering stance worked. Ultimately Martin joined him. "They propped their feet up on the bales of hay--Ray didn't do it by himself." As for his Blake Shelton riff, that happened decades later--in fact last year, before he passed away due to pancreatic cancer. It started when Shelton said something in passing that eventually got taken out of context about "old farts" in country music. Price caught wind of it and ranted about it on his Facebook, saying, "This guy sounds like, in his own mind, that his head is so large no hat ever made will fit him." Read more here.
