AMG Review of Back to Back [Universal]

All Music Guide

MCA Special Products' Back to Back features five cuts apiece from Conway Twitty and Patsy Cline. Since the disc pairs her seminal '50s recordings with his classic '70s work, it's a little uneven, even if the material shares the same producer (Owen Bradley) and is all terrific. Nevertheless, it's an entertaining listen, thanks to such songs as "Hello Darlin'," "I'd Just Love to Lay You Down," "Tight Fittin' Jeans," "I Fall to Pieces," "Crazy" and "Faded Love," and for casual fans, it may well be worth its budget price.
