Night Life is the sixth  by country western singer and guitarist , backed by his regular touring band, the Cherokee Cowboys. The album was released in 1963 on the  label. The album was included in Robert Dimery's .

Reception

Night Life was Ray Price's first LP to hit the charts. It was released in April, 1963, but Billboard didn't start publishing a Country Album chart until January, 1964. At that time, it was still selling well enough to appear and in the chart's second week, it was the number one album, the first of five to reach #1 during Price's career.

 in an  retrospective review felt that the album was "the last gasp of true honky tonk, the first stab at mainstreaming it into the Nashville sound of the 1960s, or country music's first concept album".
