5.0 out of 5 stars Strictly for fans of traditional country music, January 24, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Golden Moments (Audio CD)
Melba's biggest country hit came in the seventies with No charge, which is a song I've never been particularly keen on. However, Melba recorded plenty of great music in the sixties and seventies including three duet albums with George Jones and one with Gene Pitney. The duets with George included several country hits of which the most famous is We must have been out of our minds. None of the duets are included here.

Very little of Melba's solo music has ever been released on CD but her duets have been, though most are now out of print. This budget release is a rare chance to hear Melba singing solo although I see that this, too, is now out of print.

The songs here are mainly covers of songs made famous by others. It's not enough to satisfy Melba's fans but at least it serves as a reminder of just what a great singer Melba is. Her distinctive Alabama twang sets her versions of these old chestnuts apart from others.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Real Country, August 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Golden Moments (Audio CD)
I enjoy this double album. It starts with a surprise, a different version of the Norma Jean number one hit record "Let's Go All The Way," and such a rival that I can't decide which one I like better. Buck Trent is smokin' on that electric banjo.
Melba Montgomery's duet with George Jones is repeated here with Stan Hitchcock standing in for George, and doesn't measure up quite as well to the original hit version.
But we are left feeling that we never got enough of either of these two great singers.
