There an easy sway to “On the Red River”, the track that opens The Price of Admission, the recent release from Turnpike Troubadours. The playing cradles the memories of the tale, the album title grabbed from a line in the song; “pain is the price of admission’. The sounds on The Price of Admission are Red Dirt gold, Folk Country Roots, delivered by a band that pretty much defines the genre. The calm demeanor the band uses to deliver the cuts hides a group that is on the fast-track of a busy schedule. Turnpike Troubadours began the own Boys from Oklahoma stadium run in April, and will be performing a series of July dates on Willie Nelson’s 10th Anniversary Outlaw Music Festival Tour, as well as joining Zach Bryan on European dates. The songs on the album are from the pen of TT frontman Evan Felker, who is joined on co-writes with Ketch Secor (Old Crow Medicine Show) for “On the Red River”, Dave Simonett (solo, Dead Man Winter, Trampled by Turtles) on “Leaving Town (Woody Guthrie Festival)”, and fellow Oklahoman John Fullbright (“Searching for a Light”).  
 
A sturdy beat brings in the tale in “What Was Advertised” while a heartbeat rhythm fortifies the marching cadence of the lyrics and choral vocals found on “Be Here” as a fiddle-driven reel propels the tale in “The Devil Plies His Trade (Sn 6 Ep3)” and Country sway encourages a dance floor spin for “A Lie Agreed Upon”. Turnpike Troubadours have carved out their own unique niche for the style of Red Dirt Roots Music, Country, and Americana. The Price of Admission slows to a walk as it searches for lost love in “Forgiving You” and introduces “Ruby Ann” on a runaway rhythm while Turnpike Troubadours exit the album singing a song of acceptance in “Nothing You Can Do”.
