Editorial Reviews

Johnny & June. George & Tammy. Kenny & Dolly. Conway & Loretta. Individually they're stars, but together these artists are stellar. These unforgettable pairings of distinctive voices produced No. 1 chart toppers in the '60s, '70s and '80s—and only the biggest hits made it on Classic Country: Great Duets.

4.0 out of 5 stars Missing Some Major Duets!!, July 25, 2005

By 

Tee (LA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Classic Country Great Duets (Audio CD)

These tracks are all excellent but frankly several major country duets are not here!! Where on earth are Kenny Rogers and Dottie West?? Instead we get Rogers with Sheena Easton and the Rogers/Easton combo makes it almost entirely a pop recording and it should not be on this package. Buck Owens & Rose Maddox have a track but where is Buck with his far more famous duet partner Susan Raye? The Merle Haggard - Janie Fricke track should not have been included since she really only just sings harmony on the record. Why aren't Jimmy Wakely & Margaret Whiting who started the male/female star duet craze in 1949 with Slipping Around here or Kitty Wells & Red Foley, the first superstar duet? And where are Ferlin Husky & Jean Shepard, Jack Greene & Jeannie Seely, David Houston & Barbara Mandrell, Bobby Bare & Skeeter Davis, Roy Drusky & Priscilla Mitchell, Don Gibson & Dottie West, Johnny Duncan & Janie Fricke, to name just a few of the famous country duos of yore. Instead we have too many tracks with the same artists here. It's a very good package but it should have been a great and classic one.

The remastering is great, fantastic sound. Don't have to strain to understand the
words or turn the volume way up. Only has 20 songs, but has what I believe to be the
best ones. If you like country duets, this is one to get.
