Folks, this may seem like a stupid request... but I can't find this track at Amazon.

When You Say Nothing At All, the duet with Keith Whitley and Alison Krauss. I have the solo versions by both but not the duet.

Any help is appreciated. :)
 
I -Tunes doesn't show it either.

I'd like to find a copy of that also....
 
According to Wikipedia (without a citation), the duet was mixed for country radio release. Union Station did their version after his death...
However, the hit single to come from the tribute album was Alison Krauss & Union Station's rendition of "When You Say Nothing at All", which rose to #3 on the Billboard country charts. The song also was re-mixed with Keith's version and Allison's to create a duet that country radio played to help the sales of the album and keep Keith's memory alive. Many fans have said that if the song had been released that way as a duet, it would have been bigger than Keith's original release in 1988.[citation needed]

Fred,

It took me a while, but I found the answer. Apparently they never released that version, only played it on the radio...

wow good timing both of you got the correct answer at the buzzer. One at 7:03 and one at 7:04 PACIFIC
 
I've got a bride who wants the song and it wasn't released on CDX.

This bites. :mad:
 
I needed the same thing a couple of years back for a bride and groom so I mashed one together myself ( I didnt know one was ever released at the time). If you know someone that can do this Fred it might be the only way to go
 
Thanks, Kevin and the others who have helped. You know who you are ;) and it's sincerely appreciated, believe me. :)

The song is still being played on the local Country station... mostly at night. I wasn't sure if I had it in the library... have both solo versions (Krause and Whitley) but didn't have the duet.

I had considered making a mashup of the two... this Pio rig is nice for that. Thanks to you I won't have to do that.

The folks here at ODJT are simply the greatest! Thank you again. :)
 
Fred - I have the version you are searching for. I got a buddy of mine at WTQR to dub it for me. Someone at Clear Channel did the remix. They had to speed the tempo of Keith's vocal up to match the pitch of Allisson's vocal track. If you will PM me your mailing addy, I will dump it to CD for you and bubble mailer it to you and Shirl.
