This album of duets marked Bobby Goldsboro’s unofficial introduction to the country music genre. Del Reeves was a label-mate with United Artists Records at the time. The Grand Ole Opry member is best known for his 1965 hit, “Girl on the Billboard” (#1 Country). Having recorded over thirty albums, Del Reeves said in 1992 that “me and Bobby Goldsboro’s album was the most fun I’ve ever had making a record.”
