Background

Charles had released the groundbreaking albums

Hank Williams, Jr. "We Didn't See a Thing" is the only duet that Charles and Jones - each widely hailed as two American vocal geniuses - ever recorded together. In addition to Atkins, the song also features steel guitarist Buddy Emmons. The up-tempo "buddy song," which pokes fun at Charles' blindness - something that the pianist had often done himself - rose to #6 on the Billboard country singles chart. The song was also issued on the 1984 Jones album By Request. The pair performed the song at the Academy of Country Music
Awards the same year.
