This is a very good/near mint condition vinyl record album, a 1967 release on the American Musicor label by country singers George Jones and Melba Montgomery, "Let's Get Together.“
10 tracks of their classic sounds on tunes like “Party Pickin'," "The Day I Lose My Mind," and "I'll Be Loving You.”
Critic Jason Ankeny, writing about Melba Montgomery, "While
a successful singer in her own right, Melba Montgomery is perhaps best
remembered in tandem with her string of duet recordings with the likes
of
George Jones,
Charlie Louvin, and
Gene Pitney.
Born October 14, 1938, in Iron City, TN, and raised in Florence, AL,
Montgomery gained her first exposure to music through her father, a
fiddler and guitarist who taught vocal lessons at the town's Methodist
church. At the age of ten, she was given her own guitar, and a decade
later, she and her brother won an amateur talent contest held at
Nashville radio station WSM's Studio C, which then housed the Grand Ole
Opry. Montgomery's performance so impressed contest judge
Roy Acuff that he asked the young singer to replace his departing lead vocalist
June Webb; she accepted and toured with
Acuff for the next four years.
After going solo in 1962, Montgomery released a self-titled LP and then teamed for a series of duets with
Jones.
Their first joint effort, a rendition of Montgomery's self-penned "We
Must Have Been Out of Our Minds," reached the Top Three in 1963, and
the follow-up, "What's in Our Heart"/"Let's Invite Them Over," was a
two-sided Top 20 hit. Between 1963 and 1967, the
Jones-Montgomery team generated a total of five Top 40 hits and two LPs (1966's
Close Together and 1967's
Let's Get Together),
and while Montgomery maintained a successful solo career during the
same period, she remained best known as a duet singer and so recorded
an album of collaborations with
Pitney titled
Being Together in 1966..."
