...best things about this compilation album is the large number of duets - six - between George Jones and Melba Montgomery. Of course, Jones' best-known singing partner was his third wife, Tammy Wynette, with whom he had such hits as "Golden Ring" and "We're Gonna Hold On," but it is with Montgomery that he found his most ideal vocal foil.

Since then, he's managed, quite improbably, to revive a role for Moscow in the Middle East peace process, and has helped lead a growing number of European and Arab countries to loosen sanctions against Iraq in defiance of Washington's wishes.
