Editorial Reviews

In Nashville, where tempestuous marriages make enduring legends, George Jones and Tammy Wynette's still rates as one of the stormiest. "For years after the divorce," says a mutual friend, "when you would say her name, he would spit. And when you'd say his name, she'd shake." Still, in 1995, with Jones allegedly sober, and Tammy's health failing fast, they gave it one more try, on record anyway, for a much ballyhooed reunion, 15 years after their last duets, and 20 years after trading in their own golden rings. The material, mostly love songs designed to titillate the old fans, could have been stronger, the backing less formulaic, and Wynette's voice needed a boost in the mix now and then. But it had heart, and plenty of hillbilly soul. And when they put their voices together on "Just Look What We've Started Again," nearly everyone hoped it was true. --Alanna Nash

5.0 out of 5 stars Country Music's Greatest Voices Together "ONE" Last Time, July 31, 1999

By A Customer

It cannot be put into words what this album brings to country music or the person that listens to it. I purchased it when it first came out. I cried and laughed. "One" is one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard. "Whatever Happened To Us" cut deep into my emotions and soul. The loss of Tammy Wynette is almost too much to bear. I listen to this album now and I am overwhelmed by the fact that we will never hear another album from Tammy. No chance of another reunion with George. Buy this album. Cherish and treasure it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The last of the best of duet partners, June 29, 1999

By A Customer

Porter and Dolly were great. Loretta and Conway were great. But George and Tammy were beyond great. Thank God they were able to get together one last time to record this fabulous album. It certainly is a treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Reunion Tour '95, February 4, 2004

By	Jerry McDaniel (Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

George and Tammy's reunion tour of 1995 was a major event. This album hit #12 on the charts and the tour played to thousands of people all over the U.S. and Canada. Inspired by the initial "reunion" of the two in 1994 on the remake of "Golden Ring" on George's 'Bradley Barn Sessions' CD, it's been said that Nancy {George's wife} orchestrated the whole reunion tour. Whoever is responsible should be glad. "One", "Solid as a Rock", "They're Playing Our Song", "Whatever Happened To Us?", and "All I Have To Offer You Is Me" are my favorites. "Just Look What We've Started Again" is also good. However, songs like that aren't as believable coming from a duo who had long been married to other people. Had that song and "Whatever Happened To Us" been on an album in the late '70s or even 1980 it may have had a different meaning. This isn't to say the songs aren't any good...it's just that George and Tammy's songs have usually been geared toward what the public might be thinking of their private life at that moment. When you hear people refer to the fact that the couple's marriage was set to music, they aren't joking! "ONE" is a great album with great songs despite the fact that some of these songs could have been monster hits had they been recorded in the '70s.
