I would like to thank the person for the re-release comment. I am sick and tired of buying CD's that have weird, unpopular versions of the artists hit songs, be it alternative version or live recordings (the live ones really torqe me). It should be clearly marked on the CD, which this one is not. Thank's again for the warning and if you want the original Shelly West duet look elswhere.

My title says it all. This is a rerelease and the song "You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma" is NOT with Shelly West. Avoid this CD unless you don't mind a rerelease. I'm sorry I bought it.

I am going to disagree with the previous review. I liked the Frizzell & West partnership as much as the next fan, but I look at it this way ... David Frizzell is a great country stylist, and it's a shame that today's radio is afraid to go against the grain and play more of this caliber of artist! Even though Shelly is not on this recording, it's a good remake!

Anything by David Frizzell is impossible to get here in Australia. Nobody seems to even list him. There was only one song I was interested in and that was "You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma". I was a little disappointed that this version did not feature his sister in law, Dotty West, as his singing partner. Also this version seems to be a little more rock and roll but the melody is the same. Given the difficulty in getting anything by David in the past, I guess I have to accept that beggars can't be choosers and cop it sweet. The rest of the album did not appeal to me at all. The songs sounded tired and the music seemed weak and non committal. Maybe one day I will see a copy with Dotty West and I can purchase it.
