George Jones & Merle Haggard - KIckin' Out The Footlights...Again (2006)
By the time Hag and The Possum recorded this album in Nashville during the summer of 2006, both were in the twilight of their careers. Both would be dead in less than ten years. George had been performing for six decades and Merle five, so they had nothing left to prove. But they had been friends for most of that time, having in common both considerable success and tumultuous personal lives.
This project, appearing on George's own Bandit label, put a new spin on the well-worn superstar duet format. Ten of the fourteen songs feature each man singing a hit made famous by the other. So, we get Jones' version of "Sing Me Back Home" and Haggard taking on "The Window Up Above". This works far better than I expected. Country fans (myself included) tend to think of familiar material as "a Buck Owens song" but here, these two pros are able to put these songs across in their own style. They do this well enough to convince me that "Window Up Above" (which Jones wrote) could have been a hit for Haggard. The four duets show how well the two could meld their strong personalities together, with the banter on "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" to end the album a delightful bonus.
They are aided by a top session team led by steel wizard Paul Franklin, piano vet Pig Robbins and string master Stuart Duncan. Backing vocals are suppled by no less than Rhonda Vincent and John Wesley Ryles among others.
Nearly 25 years after A Taste of Yesterday's Wine, their first duet album, this encore reunion is a triumph from start to finish.
