Sing along with this CD
Decided to get it on a CD so I could listen to it on my CD player upstairs - I love to turn up the volumn and sing along in the shower. I have this album on vinyl and it was always a favorite of mine.
All the songs are great and Kris and Rita are just brilliant singing together. If you are a Kris Kristofferson fan, you will enjoy this CD.


Fond Memories
The songs are light hearted and I love the cover photo. This is probably my personal favorite of all their LPs together. .


Breakaway - KK & Rita review
Enjoy Kris & Rita together. Another one of KK's albums my sister and I purchased when it was originally released. Love 'Dakota (the dancing bear). The cassette wore out over the years so had to replace it with the CD.


Kris at His Best
He was a great solo artist. Kris Kristofferson wrote great songs. But, when Rita came along, he pulled out his best songs, hired the best studio musicians, and recorded some of the best country duets ever! He went on to be a Hollywood star, but I remember him best singing "Lover Please" and "I'd Rather be Sorry" with his fine-singing squeeze.


A Gem of a Disc
Kris and Rita were smart in their joint albums in that they met in the middle: mostly with covers of really great songs. The husband and wife team of Kris and Rita were the darlings of the 1970's, and this album, recorded in 1974, was designed to be the follow up to their first collaboration, the excellent Full Moon.

Apparently most of the songs were set in in the proper key for Coolidge to sing, which kind of made Kristofferson work all that much harder, and the result is some of his best vocals ever.

The song selection here is quite good too, including two of Kristofferson's own more obscure tunes, I'd Rather Be Sorry and I've Got To Have You (which was previously covered by Carly Simon on her Anticipation album). Another gem includes Rain, penned by country great Larry Gatlin.

It's been a long time coming to see the release of this album on CD -- most of us had to settle for vinyl until now. If you're a fan of either Kristofferson or Coolidge, or you're already familiar with their all-too-brief collaborations (they divorced both personally and professionally), you won't be disappointed with this CD.
