Blues & Rhythm (U.K.), April 1998
by Mick Rainsford.

Billy Price may be familiar to many of you through his association with guitarist Roy Buchanan, as he was the featured vocalist on "That's What I'm Here For" and "Livestock," as well as appearing on the double CD "Sweet Dreams." However, under his own name and that of his group, the Keystone Rhythm Band, he has also released six previous CDs, the last of which, "Danger Zone," spotlighted his command of the soul, r&b, and blues genres.

"The Soul Collection" is Price's tribute to many of the artists who both inspired and influenced him, the track listing reflecting that as it is littered with songs associated with artists like James Carr, Darrell Banks, O.V. Wright, Don Covay, Syl Johnson, and Arthur Alexander. One name missing from that list is Otis Clay, who Price describes as "my friend and mentor," and the spirit of Clay's music certainly pervades this set as Price performs three of his songs, the great man himself, along with Theresa Davis and Dianne Madison of the Emotions, providing gospel infused backing vocals and harmonies on a wonderful version of O.V. Wright's "Gonna Forget About You." Clay also duets with Price on his own "That's How It Is," and it is a reflection of Price's talent that he more than holds his own as both men lay bare their souls in a tale of pain and resignation that is echoed by a superb horn section. Other highlights include a stunning rendition of Eddie Hinton's "Dangerous Highway," replete with a wonderful Big Jay styled sax solo by Nick Dialoiso, the dramatic "Let It Happen" (James Carr) with its strong gospel overtones, and the strutting gospel infused soul of Linda Jones and the Soul Sisters' "I Can't Stand It."

Although I have highlighted some personal favourites, in truth there is not a weak track on this set. Otis Clay, the Emotions, superb musicians, and one of the best "blue-eyed" soul singers around make this a must for all serious fans of the genre.
