Gene Watson and Rhonda Vincent display considerable chemistry on their duet album, Your Money and My Good Looks. Watson boasts a light ingratiating country tenor, while Vincent is a more strident alto, which tends to reverse the expected sound in male/female singing, although it is not unlike the classic sound of George Jones and Tammy Wynette in some respects. Watson and Vincent hark back to that duo by turning in a traditional country effort, the fiddle-and-steel-guitar-dominated arrangements suggesting the record could have been made any time since the 1950s. The two singers portray romantic couples of various stripes, starting with the comic and adventurous duo who meet in a bar in the title song, and including romantic partners whose love has gone stale ("Gone for Good," "You Could Know as Much About a Stranger"); who proclaim their long-term devotion "Till the End"; who are making the usual moves late at night in a honky tonk ("Alone Together Tonight"); and who are each cheating on a spouse ("Out of Hand"). Throughout, they exhibit familiar affection, even if it's strained at times, the two singers alternating lines in verses and coming together on the choruses. The high-quality backup band practically deserves a credit of its own, particularly given that the singers sit out the rousing hoedown instrumental that closes the disc, "Ashes of Mt. Augustine." ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
