Description:

2 LPs on 1 CD: JUST BETWEEN THE TWO OF US (1966)/THE FIGHTIN` SIDE OF ME (1970).
Personnel includes: Merle Haggard, Bonnie Owens.
THE FIGHTIN` SIDE OF ME was recorded live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
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.
