Album Review: Two of a Kind

Review

Whereas The Essential Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton collects 20 of the pair's Top 40 C&W hits, Two of a Kind includes only nine. The rest of the songs on this 20-track CD are lesser hits and album tracks that do not overlap with the Essential disc. Consequently, fans of Porter and Parton's feudin' and fightin' duets may find it worthwhile to add this disc to their collection for the 11 exclusive tracks. Of these songs, "Fight & Scratch" is alone worth the price of the disc. As an anthology for the curious, Two of a Kind is too idiosyncratic to be definitive, but the obscurities make it worthwhile. ~ Greg Adams, All Music Guide

Two of a Kind was a 1971 duet album by Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton. The album reached # 13 on the U.S. country albums charts. The album is unusual in that no single 45rpm releases were issued of any of the songs. (The track "The Pain of Loving You" was later released as the "B" side of "The Right Combination" from their 1972 album of the same name.)

"Curse of the Wild Weed Flower" is of note being an anti-marijuana song, one of the few country songs of the period to discuss drugs.

Parton later rerecorded "The Pain of Loving You" with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, as part of their 1987 Trio album.

Liner notes for the album are written by Don Howser, longtime announcer for The Porter Wagoner Show program.
