A Price On His Head (1967)

Met o.a. het schitterende "To Ramona", een nummer waar je het meteen warm van krijgt, dat ook voor de Leo Blokhuis/Ricky Koole-verzamelaar "Back On Track" geselecteerd werd. "Moving away from the jazzy Animals-styled R&B-rock that he'd presented on his first album and singles, Price moved into a more original, if less powerful, brand of Newman-influenced vaudevillian pop. The Randy Newman influence isn't a matter of conjecture; about half of the songs were covers of songs by Newman (who had yet to release his first album at the this album was issued), often of tunes that remain obscure even to serious Newman fans. The effect is something like hearing an even jauntier, more lighthearted Georgie Fame, as even Price's own compositions bore a strong Newman influence in their emphasis on poppy craft and wit. Breaking up the Newman and Price songs were covers of Bob Dylan's "To Ramona" and the little-known Goffin/King number "On This Side of Goodbye"." (Richie Unterberger, Allmusic)
