Meet the latest iteration of Twitty and Lynn. Fifty years ago, Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn—arguably the greatest country duet partners of all time—were in the midst of racking up 12 Top 10 hits, five #1 singles and four #1 albums, alongside solo careers that would see them become the country artist with the most #1s (at that time) and the most awarded female country artist, respectively.

Produced by Scott Baggett (John Waite, Alison Krauss), Cookin’ Up Lovin’ features covers of three of Conway and Loretta’s #1s as a duo: the Grammy-winning “After the Fire Is Gone” (1971), their signature hit “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man” (1973) and their last #1 together, “Feelins’” (1975). Tre and Tayla’s versions, while more modern, are faithful adaptations.

The seven originals on the album, all co-written by the duo, include the saucy two-stepper “Cookin’,” written with Baggett and country recording artist Shelly Fairchild; the soulful, second-chance request of “Need Your Love (Give It Up),” penned with hit songwriters Mark Narmore and Liz Rose; the feisty “I Hate Me (For Lovin’ You),” written with legendary Nashville singer-songwriter Jeffrey Steele, along with the barroom anthem “Hillbilly Git-Down” with Baggett and Steele; and a trio of love songs—the easy-lovin’ “Me and You,” sultry “Always Be You” and breezy “Thinkin’ of a Number,” all in collaboration with Narmore.

The album also includes “Spiders and Snakes,” a Jim Stafford single that Conway and Loretta covered, and a remake of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire” that Tre included as a tribute to his mom, as it was a favorite of hers.
