Content[edit]
The album consists entirely of songs composed by either Parton or Wagoner. It contains their hit "Lost Forever in Your Kiss", in addition to the humorous "Ten Four — Over and Out", which exploited the C.B. radio craze a few years before it became a major phenomenon in the US. "Poor Folks Town" was later recorded as a solo by Parton on her 1980 album, 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs. The album features liner notes written by both Wagoner and Parton in their own handwriting.
