Ray Price is working on a new album with the title of Last of the Breed with fellow country music legends. This album was released on March 20, 2007. The two disc set features 20 country classics as well as a pair of new compositions.

He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1996 and when Ray Noble Price was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1996, many noted that the honor was long delinquent. Price has been one of country's great innovators. Price also helped to many young musicians and songwriters. Price's 1959 interpretation of Howard's Heartaches by the Number helped establish Howard in Nashville, while Price's 1958 smash City Lights did the same for its writer.

Yet as dominant a hard country artist as Price had become, by the early 1960s he had begun to move into a more pop-oriented direction. This trend climaxed with his 1967 hit Danny Boy. Recorded with full orchestration, the song alienated many of Price's old fans, even as it brought many new ones in from a different direction. Three years later, both sets of fans responded favorably to Price's For the Good Times and the song smashed.
