this GOLD album from 1979 contains the duo's first wave of Top-10 hits during 1971-1978. it also features some album tracks that weren't hits that make it a must-have purchase despite MANY later CD versions of the duo's hits. The six duets that weren't hits but were fan favorites: "It's Only Make Believe"; "I've Already Loved You in My Mind"; "Pickin' Wild Mountain Berries"; "Spiders and Snakes"; "You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly"; and the album closer, "God Bless America Again". eight of the songs were hits, though. this album was released the same year as Conway's solo album "Cross Winds" and his all-new duet album with Loretta called "Diamond Duet" (the singles from that album, of course, aren't on this Very Best of collection.) The album opens up with their signature duet, "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" from 1973. The only hit that some might not recall that well is "From Seven Till Ten", but it hit #6 in 1978. Owen Bradley produced all the songs on this album. "Lead Me On" is the next to last song. Their Grammy winner, "After The Fire Is Gone", opens up side two (or in the CD age, it's simply track 9). for those who aren't huge fans of neither Conway or Loretta, this album is still a must have because it showcases 6 of their album tracks not available hardly anywhere unless you have the original vinyl albums like i do. the album tracks are just as great as the hit singles and it shows off the wonderful chemistry the duo had in the studio.

Bought this for my Mum, she really enjoyed it.Once I started listening I also enjoyed it. Great to be able to buy old albums in fantastic condition.

I was in my early 20s when Conway and Loretta first got together for an album. This CD takes me back to that place. I remember loving these songs in 1972. Two of my all time favorites together. The studio musicians are unbelievable. This was the Golden Age of Country Music. If you like this Cd I suggest you check out John Prine/Iris Dement and their album "In Spite of Ourselves." That CD made me go find this CD. Peace be with You

This is a classic album. Very enjoyable listening. One of my favorite songs on it is "You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly," but there are many more tunes of a more serious nature. These two artists are unique, and together they score a "10."

when everyone else was making new songs 4 america, this was the best one & first one came 2 my mind. it should still be # one today! because it"s just perfect for the united states of america. everyone should just listen too the words of this song, god bless america again. if i only had a way too contac loretta lynn. id tell her how much her album & her many ways of life, ive lived!
