West's ability to create hit duets with artitsts as diverse as Jim Reeves, Don Gibson, and sausage king Jimmy Dean lay testament to her strong harmonizing.
The enclosed duets are among West's most engaging recordings from this period and foreshadow her most successful work of all: the Liberty duets with Kenny Rogers.

The set opens with a smooth duet between crooner Jim Reeves and West on "Love Is No Excuse." It must have been difficult to decide on 20 songs for what will probably be the only release on West in this series.
In addition to recording several big original hits, she left a body of excellent cover songs, such as her haunting rendition of Don Gibson's "A Legend in My Own Time," which is sadly absent here.
Hank Cochran's slightly honky tonk "Me Today and Her Tomorrow" is featured, as is a warm duet with Jimmy "The Sausage King" Dean on "Slowly." There are three songs from what may well be West's best album, 1966's Suffer Time.
