A nice little cd by two of outlaw countries finest. A little slick (80's) production but the fine singing of these two legends shines throught. A short collection (under 40 minutes)that would have gotten a fifth star if it contained more songs. Even outtakes of these two would be a bonus. Maybe now that Waylon has passed on his catalog will get a reworking/remastering. Country music lost one of its legends. He will be missed. But cd's like this will serve his memory well.

This is a pleasure to hear ... from beginning to end. My only complaint is that it's not twice as long (only 34 min.). But it belongs in every fan's collection.

Great collaboration album. I only wanted the "Old Friends" cut but ended up enjoying the whole album.

My mom was looking for some of these songs for quite some time but she couldn't find them. I sent her this CD for Mother's Day, and it made it there on time and had all the songs she was looking for one brand-new CD. It made a great gift.

Willie Nelson is always good listening. Love the CD. Service as usual, was great.

I had purchased the original cassette tape of Take It To The Limit by Willy and Waylon and it was wonderful. Unfortunately, the tape broke so I ordered the CD version of Take It To The Limit. I found the CD to be not as good as the cassette. The words were not as clear and the bass did not come through as well. I would like very much to be able to find another cassette of the original version to replace my broken one. I find it to be much better than the CD.

Great CD; play it a lot on the road. Got only 4 stars because it is too darn short and the was a ton of material available to beef it up.

This is fine music. Blackjack county is a great song and these guys perform like the pros that they are. However that said, Why baby why could never come close to the original, and much more whoever recorded and or mastered this was not doing it right. The instruments are somehow louder than the voices. On blackjack county this is the most annoying because the lines are sung low and nearly whispered in some places. Trying to hear what they're saying is difficult because you have to keep turning the stereo up and ignoring the loudness of the instruments. This is fine music [A little to slick for me in some parts] with fine performances, just terrible sound on several of the songs. If I had lost the cd I wouldn't buy it again even though I liked it. That is how I rate them. If I lost them, would I buy them a second time? No. I'd get something from either waylon or willie instead of both more likely.

I wanted willies Tales "Me and the Drummer". I downloaded it on netshow,lost it and again I downloaded it on windows media player and lost it again. Would love to have that CD, unable to find it in stores. Please help if you can, Betty
