Burning Memories is a studio album by country music artist Ray Price. It was released in 1965 by Columbia Records (catalog no. CS-9089). The cover photograph was credited to Don Hunstein.

The album debuted on Billboard magazine's country album chart on March 20, 1965, peaked at No. 8, and remained on the chart for a total of nine weeks. The album included six Top 20 singles: "Burning Memories" (No. 2); "Make the World Go Away" (No. 2); "Soft Rain" (No. 3); "Release Me" (No. 6); "Walk Me to the Door" (No. 7); and "You Took Her Off My Hands (Now Please Take Her Off My Mind)" (No. 11).[1]

AllMusic gave the album five stars.[2] Critic Thom Jurek noted that the album marked Price's departure from traditional honky tonk style to a countrypolitan style with string section, such that "the only identifying country marker is the corny cowboy hat he's wearing on the cover."[2]
