Review - :
Perhaps the greatest of all country male/female duos created three albums worth of material for {@Decca}. When {@MCA} launched its series of two-fer vinyl packages in the '70s, it grabbed a bunch of the {$Ernest Tubb} and {$Loretta Lynn} material and threw together this package. They could have wrapped it in a paper bag; in fact, considering what they did use for artwork they would have been better off. They could have put the material in any order, they could have chosen any material, in fact they could have fit all of it onto the four sides but they chose not to. All these criticisms simply don't matter as the skill and charm of these two shine forth as if they were coming to us directly from their own Mt. Olympus, and not via the packaging and re-packaging enterprises of various record companies. This was something of a father/daughter relationship, although the singers did the love style songs, too. They try out a lot of different approaches on the nearly two-dozen tracks included. It is often a case of the singer not the song, as much of this material only comes to life because it is {$Tubb} and {$Lynn}. None of the songs are really bad; this was certainly the popular duo to try to get a track recorded by, so the songs chosen have to be some of the best of what might have been available at that point in time. The listener can sometimes hear the songwriter's wheels turning, trying to come with something cute and smart, but some of the material is really hilarious. A bit more of {$Lynn}'s original material would have been good. Those wishing to sample one and only one song should head straight for {&"Who's Gonna Take the Garbage Out?"} The backup bands don't hurt in the least, and the listener can assume the players are a combination of {$Texas Troubador} members and Nashville session men, seeing as how {@MCA} couldn't find space to inform us as to their identities somewhere on all this cardboard. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide
