Description
Featuring Merle Haggard and his second wife, Bonnie Owens, 1966's
JUST BETWEEN THE TWO OF US is a stunningly successful
collaboration, featuring a sparkling collection of traditional
country love and heartbreak songs. The album's wildly successful
title track had spent some months on the country charts before it
was replaced by Haggard's first hit record, (My Friends Are Gonna
Be) Strangers. The pristine production highlights the duo's
ideally matched vocals on material ranging from the beautiful Our
Hearts Are Holding Hands to the rueful breakup song, Just Between
the Two of Us. Haggard's voice here shows the strong influence of
fellow Bakersfield musician (and Bonnie's ex-husband) Buck Owens,
particularly on the classic Bakersfield cut, Slowly But Surely,
while Bonnie's feisty vocals more than hold their own.
