An Essential Purchase For Lovers of '70s Country Music
The most celebrated collaboration of two established artists in country music history (honors including a Grammy and four CMA Awards), Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn had an uninterrupted string of duet hits from 1971 through 1981. This 24-track Definitive Collection improves greatly on their previous retrospectives - the 12-track Millennium Collection and the 14-track Very Best Of - which contain the hits but little else.

Twitty and Lynn's duet singles - while great records - tended to feature overly polished productions that staidly dealt with unstable relationships (a major exception being the riproaring "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man"). It's the enclosed b-sides and album tracks like "Don't Tell Me You're Sorry," "Spiders And Snakes," and my own parent's theme song "You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly" whose humorous, candid banter reveal the true magic of this strictly professional pairing. About the only significant recording omitted here from their twelve album catalog (all of which are represented here by at least one track) is their rendition of the Bobby Bare hit "God Bless America Again," a longtime fan favorite. For lovers of `70s country, this Definitive Collection is an essential purchase.

Conway & Loretta - Quality Guaranteed
Music is a taste of heaven. When it comes to country soul, Conway and Loretta are second to none. Here are 24 superb selections to show why they are the most respected and decorated
country duet team in Country Music History. Plus, their music touches the heart and soul of the country fan. There is a blending of voice harmonies that remains unmatched to date. These two artists were superstars alone and formed a 3rd superstar act together while maintaining indivuality. If you are looking for a selection of great country with cross-over power, but still true to country tradition, then look no further. When you purchase, always buy the best. You will never be disappointeed. Such is true with this set of 24 powerful songs by two of music's greatest acheivers! Go for it! Enjoy!!

There will never be another Conway and Loretta!
I've been a fan on Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn since I was a child in the 1970s, and I mourned for days when Conway died. I've got several of his albums, as well as Loretta's autograph and her complete hits package...but until I bought this album my collection wasn't complete. These 24 songs pretty much sum up the years they were together and the way country music was in those days. To hear them sing together is pure magic - unadulterated by the alterations the studios do with recording artists these days. Nobody will fail to smile with "Lousiana Woman, Mississippi Man" or get teary with "As Soon As I Hang Up The Phone". And there's nobody who can listen to their banter in "Spiders and Snakes" and "You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly" and not feel like they are in on a secret.

What a pair they were....never to be repeated in our lifetimes! This album brings back all the memories of a time gone past, and of a couple who brought us so much great music. This is my very favorite Conway and Loretta album!
