5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding vocals - as usual, September 26, 2007

By	J. Bills (Humble, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is just another example of outstanding "Country Music" sung by a true artist. There are three remakes of old standards, that are better (in my opinion) than the original versions of the hits. There is some new material included as well. My favorite male vocalist of all time.

5.0 out of 5 stars LIKE WINE HE GETS BETTER WITH TIME, September 27, 2007

By	C. TAYLOR (ALABAMA) - See all my reviews

THIS IS ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER GREAT ALBUM FROM GENE. HE IS LIKE WINE HE GETS BETTER WITH TIME. IN MY OPINION HE IS THE GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME IN COUNTRY MUSIC. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REMAKES THAT ARE BETTER THIS GO ROUND. THE NEW ARE JUST AS GOOD. I ONLY WISH COUNTRY MUSIC WOULD GO BACK TO IT'S ROOTS AND STOP ALLOWING "POP" AND "ROCK" AND CALLING THAT COUNTRY. GENE IS A CLASSIC. GREAT ALBUM. MUST BUY FOR TRUE "COUNTRY" MUSIC FANS!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!!! Must have for pure country listeners!! , December 29, 2007

By	Kerry Mcreynolds "bluebonnet" (Hill Country Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This CD is terrific - pure country - Gene Watson better with time.
I love the duets with Vince Gill, Rhonda Vincent, Lee Ann Womack.
I usually don't like artists covering songs that were big hits by other performers but "Together Again" and "Today I Started Loving You Again" are fantastic new interpretations of these classics. I absolutely loved them. All of the duets are fantastic and every song on this CD is amazing. It is too bad Gene Watson is not getting air play on the radio because this is a great CD. Anyone who is a Gene Watson fan will love this CD and anyone who loves pure country music will love it!!!
