About the Song
Ah, folks, settle in for a right purty duet tonight. We’re going to take a trip down memory lane with two country music legends: Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn. Now, these two were about as iconic a pair as a rhinestone guitar and a pair of blue jeans. They could trade verses with the best of them, their voices blending like sweet tea on a summer day.
The song we’re about to hear is called “That’s All That Matters”. It came out back in 1979, on their album “Diamond Duet”. Now, 1979 wasn’t that long ago for some of us, but for others, it might feel like a whole different era. Back then, country music was all about storytelling, about real folks and real emotions. And “That’s All That Matters” is a prime example of that.
This song takes on a theme that’s as old as time itself: love and insecurity. It’s a story sung from the perspective of two people who are deeply in love, but maybe one of them is worried about the shadows of the past. We’ll hear Loretta sing about how her love interest might have had other loves before her, but “That’s All That Matters” is the here and now, the way they feel for each other right now. Conway chimes in too, letting his partner know that they brought him back to life, and that their love is all that matters to him.
So, whether you’re a longtime country fan or just discovering the genre, “That’s All That Matters” is a timeless duet that speaks to the heart. It’s a reminder that love can conquer all, and that sometimes, all that truly matters is the person by your side. So, put on your dancing shoes, or just sit back and relax, and get ready to enjoy a classic by Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn.
