Reviews
F. Schöler in Stereo 4/95: "Duette waren im Country- Genre schon vor vielen Jahrzehnten populär. Zu den ungewöhnlichsten, verblüffenderweise aber sogar besten Beispielen ihrer Art zählen zwei LP's, die in den sechziger Jahren das Teenager-Idol Gene Pitney (Autor von "Hello Mary Lou", "He's A Rebel" usw.) mit George Jones aufgenommen hatte. Die findet man jetzt -inklusive des dritten Albums "The Country Side of Gene Pitney"! - erstmals auf einer CD, die bezüg- lich ihrer künstlerischen Meriten dem "duets II"- Projekt von Frank Sinatra locker um Klassen überlegen ist!"Disk 1 von 1 (CD)
