A forgotten gem
It appears as if the impending divorce might have had an impact on the album as a whole. The final installment of the Kris & Rita "trilogy," this album was less country-oriented than the previous two; but a fine album none the less. Not only do several of the song titles imply a failed love affair, but the cover photo itself seems somber in comparison to the more upbeat-looking covers of the previous two albums. Even the title of the album could be interpreted as keeping with this theme. The possibility that this was a concept album about the breakup only adds to its appeal. Kris and Rita were very obviously in love, even at this point, and the painful mixed emotions they are feeling over the divorce come through on this album; making it an irresistably personal document of their marriage and heartwrenching breakup. If you are a fan of either Kris or Rita or both, don't overlook this historically important--yet often forgotten--final collaboration.


Kris and Rita always sounded great together.
The strains of divorce were hitting, but they sounded great. This was the 3rd of Kris & Ritas ventures together, more commercially oriented but still them. This is one of my favorites to listen to. Especially there rendition of "Lovin her was easier". Hearing them together on this brings chills. Hope they reissue it again. I'd love to own the CD for all time.
