George Jones Album: “Complete '60s Duets”

Well, I've done this all wrong. I have given sort of a review I guess in commenting on "JESS JESS"'s review. So my diatribe is gotten to by clicking on COMMENT 1 at the end of his review.

To be brief, I loved it back in the 60's and I love it now. It sounded so different from anything we'd ever heard where I come from, and it was just great to hear someone singing with one of our favorites. But, you know, that was in a totally different world and time. We Southerners/hillbilly/country lovers were laughed at and made fun of back then. But we didn't care, we still loved our hillbilly/country music. We appreciated and treasured things like that. It sounded great in those days. Even on our scratchy records. I didn't pass up listening to any of the songs. I played the whole thing over and over. I'm just glad to be able to hear it again on the CD I purchased through Amazon.

I had heard this album back in about 1962 and had been looking for the Song, Wreck on the Highway (written by Roy Aucuf) and sung jointly by George Jones and Gene Pitney. My girlfriend did research and found this product and I am totally please with the album. The transaction was handled accurately and professional by Amazon and all concerned.

Believe me "That's All It Took" is one of the greatest country songs I've ever heard. Not well known to some but definitely a CLASSIC!

Well, I'm a big fan of George Jones, but the jury's still out on Gene Pitney (he's got a voice that I will never be comfortable with). Not sure of who thought up this duo, but it's not anything I could've thought of in a million years. But, somehow, George Jones makes it work. While this duet will never be confused with Waylon & Willie, or Moe & Joe, it is entertaining nonetheless...........kind of like a wreck on the highway; you dont want to look, but you find yourself doing so anyway. If you're a real George Jones fan, you'll want to include this one in your collection, but Gene Pitney's voice is just so grating and out-of-place, that I doubt you'll have this CD in your regular rotation. One listen to "I've got a New Heartache" and you'll agree.
