From 1980, we have the somewhat rare, ( it took me a little while to find one) "Country We Love" on the Pedaca label. This is the only LP that Carl & Pearl made for Pedaca.
The song list is:
Side A:
I Hope We Walk The Last Mile Together
Precious Memories
Blue Eyes and Waltzes
Garden Of Shame
Dog Eat Dog
Side B:
If Teardrops Were Pennies
Holding On With Open Arms
Take Me Back To Jackson
My Joy
Don't Let Me Cross Over
"In 1963, Carl and Pearl Butler were voted country music's number one new singing team. Having found the magic combination which clicks on both personal appearances and on records, and recording for the first time together, this friendly two-some pushed their recording of "Don't Let Me Cross Over" to the top in charts all over the world, and on to being named the number one song of the year. It's no wonder that at the same time they were given the title of "Mr. & Mrs. Country Music". The rest is history, Carl and Pearl have come a long way since then, and are still today one of the most popular singing teams going. They certainly set a trend and paved the way for "Country Duets" of today. Carl and Pearl are "Pure Country" and have stuck to it. Everyone who has ever had the pleasure to know them know they are "real" people in every sense of the word. They are genuine and sincere and their music expresses it. This new album is Carl and Pearl Butler at their very best and I'm sure you'll enjoy every song. I'm glad to call them my friends. They give country music fans their very best whether its on the Grand Ole Opry, the Midnight Jamboree or in your hometown. I know you will enjoy this new album as much as I. "
Sincerely,
Ernest Tubb
