While signed to Decca and MCA as solo artists, Twitty and Lynn charted 12 duet singles in the top ten of the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, including five number one hits. The discography of Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn consists of 10 studio albums, seven compilation albums, 13 singles, and two charted B-sides. His ballads would start low with his groan woven round with the steel guitar, building in intensity to a climax then a release.Promotional image of Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn in 1976. Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty recorded some of the most iconic duets in country music, which made them the most awarded male/female country duo in all history. It was only when he returned to Country that he really developed a sense of dynamic. Hughey also represents Conway's commitment to Country which gave all his songs their hard edge. Their next and final release, Making Believe, would be a compilation of new and previously released material. This would be the duos last album of all new material to be released. Together all their lives, they are Country's equivalent of Billie Holiday and Lester Young. Twos a Party is the tenth and final collaborative studio album by Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn.It was released on February 2, 1981, by MCA Records. Weaving through all his songs is the weeping, plangent sound of John Hughey's pedal steel guitar, as emotional as Conway's anguished vocals. I saw him in his fifties in Nashville, reassuringly chubby in a jogging suit, driving 8,000 mature women knicker-throwing wild.Ĭonway took the Nashville sound to its limit. He has a huge and loyal female following. It is a potent mix, Conway's aching vocals making it hard for his women fans to resist as he surrenders to the inevitable. His solo wins include the Top Male Vocalist award in 1975 and the 2008 Pioneer Award. He knows he shouldn't but he can't help himself. Conway Twitty won the prestigious ‘Academy of Country Music’ award a record seven times, five of them with Loretta Lynn. Wracked with internal conflict, he can't resist temptation. With songs full of guilt and remorse, the combination of Loretta, feisty and independent and Conway, weak but sensitive, is explosive.
His duets with Loretta Lynn are legendary.
