Deuces is a clever title for a collection of duets between Charlie Daniels and a bunch of other country stars, ranging from Gretchen Wilson to Vince Gill, Dolly Parton to Brad Paisley. Although the song selection may be a little bit too predictable -- he likely never needs to cut another version of "Long Haired Country Boy," no matter how good that version might be -- Deuces isn't about the songs, it's about the performances, and there's a bunch of great ones here, with the CDB always sounding in top form, sometimes really catching fire with their guests, as when they dig into "Evangeline" with the Del McCoury Band, trade riffs with Paisley on "Jammin' for Stevie," and lay into "God Save Us All from Religion" with Marty Stuart. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
