Bobby Bare and
Skeeter Davis' first duet album,
Tunes for Two, was moderately successful in 1965, but it took five years for a follow-up to materialize.
Your Husband, My Wife was one of the last albums
Bare made for RCA before moving to Mercury, and the title track was his last RCA hit until he returned to the label a few years later. It makes one wonder whether the album was a rush job, because the performances are spotty and
Davis sounds particularly wobbly. "Let's Make Love Not War" attempts to solve that problem by multi-tracking
Davis' vocals, which makes the song sound like
Bare singing along with one of her solo recordings. The material is more downcast and less satisfying on this outing, but the album is buoyed up a little by a lively rendition of "Jackson."
