This 20-track collection of country duets is no different, standing as a near-perfect summation of the style as it emerged in the '60s and lasted through the '80s. Starting where every duets compilation should -- with the triumvirate of Johnny Cash-June Carter, Loretta Lynn-Conway Twitty, and George Jones-Tammy Wynette -- the disc proceeds to feature a parade of touchstone hits like "Don't Let Me Cross Over" (Carl and Pearl Butler), "Suspicious Minds" (Waylon Jennings-Jessi Colter), and "Islands in the Stream" (Kenny Rogers-Dolly Parton). The gradual progression from the (comparatively) gritty Nashville sound of the '60s to the ultraslick country-pop of the '80s can be grating, but Classic Country: Great Duets certainly succeeds in its mission. ~ John Bush Producer: Robert Hull; Gene Zacharewicz (Compilation)   Technical Info Release Date : 10/26/2004 Original Release Date : 2004 Catalog ID : 18970 Label : Time/Life Music Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00610583101720    Product Image
