It's Country Time Again! is an album by American country music artists George Jones and Gene Pitney released in 1966 on the Musicor Records label.
Background
[edit]It's Country Time Again! is the sequel to For the First Time! Two Great Stars - George Jones and Gene Pitney, released the year before. It reached number 17 on the US Country Albums chart. The album features the Jones' hits "Love Bug", "My Favorite Lies", and a duet of "Why Baby Why", Jones' first hit from 1955.
The Bear Family record label reissued both albums under the title George Jones & Gene Pitney, collecting 31 sides that the pair recorded together.
Release
[edit]The song "That's All It Took" was written by George Jones, Darrell Edwards, and Charlotte Lynn Grier and originally recorded by Jones as a duet with Gene Pitney [citation needed] on Musicor Records. Jones and Pitney had scored a Top 20 hit in 1965 with "I've Got Five Dollars and It's Saturday Night" and also recorded two LPs together. However, "That's All It Took" was not a hit, only making it to number 47 on the Billboard country singles chart. Although a rather obscure song, country-rock pioneer Gram Parsons recorded the song as a duet with Emmylou Harris on his debut solo album GP in 1973. A live version by Parsons and his band the Fallen Angels also appears on the 1982 release Live 1973.
