Kitty Wells & Red Foley – Golden Favorites LP – Decca DL 4109

Immerse yourself in the foundational heart of the Nashville sound with Golden Favorites, a timeless collaborative showcase featuring Country Music Hall of Fame inductees Kitty Wells and Red Foley. While the collection was originally introduced in 1961, this beautifully preserved 1969 Decca Records vintage reissue captures the absolute peak of their chart-topping partnership during the golden era of the 1950s honky-tonk movement.

As the first solo female artist to top the country charts, Kitty Wells brings an unvarnished emotional honesty that perfectly balances Red Foley’s warm, smooth, and companionable baritone. This 12-inch 33 RPM high-fidelity mono LP delivers a punchy, warm, and highly focused analog listening experience. It features their historic, long-running #1 country hit “One By One,” alongside legendary duet favorites like “As Long As I Live” and a stellar mix of iconic solo cuts including Foley’s beloved “Just Call Me Lonesome.”
