Editorial Review:
George Jones and Tammy Wynette had already been married three years when they began cutting duets together, and this album's opening pledge of eternal love, 1971's "Take Me," followed by their recitation of wedding vows in "The Ceremony," sets the tone early on. Somewhere soon thereafter, Jones began hitting the bottle and the blow again, and by 1973 he and Wynette were knocking on wood and pledging "We're Gonna Hold On." They did reconcile, but the next year they were lamenting "We Loved It Away," and in 1976 they checked out with the lachrymose "Golden Ring." By 1980 they were feeling more conciliatory toward each other, explaining themselves with the comeback "Two Story House." Great autobiographical track not about the ups and downs of their relationship: "(We're Not) The Jet Set." Here's some country music that means what it says to the people who sang it. --John Morthland

Music: George and Tammy, what a combo... This is a great CD with some really great old time country.
Rating: - Country Gold - Two legends in one great album
Until I listened to this album, I had forgotten how wonderful Tammy and George were together. Their voices blend and harmonize effortlessly, and it's obvious why they were the King and Queen of country music in the 1970s. I think the love/hate relationship they had over the years added to the "realness" of their songs.
If you want a great album featuring two of country's original superstars, buy this one. You'll find yourself singing along and remembering a time before microwaves, ... Read More
Rating: - George and Tammy together in their heyday!
The two greatest singers in Country music united not just in matrimony but in a series of duets that trace the path of their marriage and relationship. The music is understandably terrific. Tracks to listen for are "Hold On", "Two Story House", and "The Jet Set". This is as good as Classic Country gets, and it will likely inspire you to seek out the solo recordings of George and Tammy. Wow, can Tammy sing! Also, I love the album cover, it hints at the honesty in these recordings, and you will notice ... Read More
Rating: - Good Old Days
I love the CD and listen to it everyday. I love the old country music.
Rating: - Another Good One
Besides Conway & Loretta, noone sang a duet like George and Tammy........although I was partial to George and Melba Montgomery. George Jones is one of the most sincere stylists in Country Music history; and Tammy had the most "vulnerable" voices around. This album showcases the combining of these two legends, and out of 16 numbers, there's not a bad one here. All of the usual suspects are included: "Golden Ring", "...Hold On", and "Two Story House", as well as a few of their cover songs (which they ... Read More
