However, this was the album that established his legend, to the point that the white-bearded singer made several TV movies loosely based on this semi-concept album. In fact, this record's two hit singles are essentially the twin templates of the rest of his career. One, the title track, is a pure country story-song with a moral at the end; the other, the swelling \"She Believes in Me,\" is a lush piece of easy-listening pop, with full orchestral accompaniment, that makes Ray Price's early-'70s singles sound like Jimmie Rodgers. Rogers would become a very rich man, indeed, spinning variations on those two styles in the following years, but THE GAMBLER remains one of his most cohesive and enjoyable albums.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41886943969445,"sku":"5099991205315","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/2469d5d3e960ced82017b36e11262f99_a3b7dd7f-3dab-46b3-a1dc-d583af1affce.jpg?v=1780830052","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-fr\/products\/the-gambler-2","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
