Country's never been afraid to lay on the corn, but even by its own standards, the concept driving this 1960 album was hokey. Davis sings &answer& songs to hits by Jim Reeves, Hank Locklin, Eddy Arnold, Jim Reeves, and Ray Peterson -- &I Really Want You to Know,& for instance, in response to Arnold's &I Really Don't Want to Know.& As all of those singers happened to be contracted to Davis' label, RCA, the original versions were available for inclusion/instant comparison. That means that half of this album isn't Davis at all; you'll hear, for instance, Jim Reeves singing &He'll Have to Go,& followed immediately by Davis' &He'll Have to Stay&; Ray Peterson's &Tell Laura I Love Her& is countered with Davis' &Tell Tommy I Miss Him&; and so on. It gets really ridiculous when Davis sings an answer song (&My Last Date&) to Floyd Cramer's instrumental hit &Last Date.& Davis' songs are okay mainstream country/pop; a couple of them (&(I Can't Help You) I'm Falling Too& and &My Last Date&) were even Top 40 pop hits. But alternating her tracks bang-bang with hits by various other male country stars makes for a rather herky-jerky listening experience. A mid-'90s European CD reissue of the album adds four bonus tracks from a 1962 duet single with Porter Wagoner and a 1964 duet single with Bobby Bare (including a cover of &We'll Sing in the Sunshine&), none of which rate among the bettaer performances of either Davis or her partners.
