The harmony singer on 'wasted words', and some others from the same
recording session is Ira Louvin.

 half of the
  disc? Wow, does he sound frickin great singing along with Ray's big

 I think it's Ray Price, doing the old (pre-multitrack) overdub technique
 whereby you sing as the original master rolls and record the mixed
 result onto a new master.

 recording session is Ira Louvin.

True enough, but that was before the cuts in question; that session was
6/22/56, whereas the songs in question are mostly from later (though "Crazy
Arms" was from just before, 3/1/56) on, 1957-1962 on the particular disc
asked about.

If memory serves me, Earl Scruggs also appeared on a Price cut or two,
though not singing harmony g.
