8''Two the Hard Way'' is the sole studio album by Allman and Woman, a duo consisting of CreatorCouple Gregg Allman (of Music/TheAllmanBrothersBand) and Music/{{Cher}} (of Music/SonnyAndCher). Released in 1977 through Creator/WarnerBrosRecords, the album is half covers and half original songs; all but two of them are duets.

10Most people seem to agree in hindsight the album was a mistake, with many sighting Gregg's Southern Rock and Cher's idiosyncratic, personality-driven pop not going well. The album is considered an OldShame and Cher and Gregg Allman would break up shortly after its release.

29!!''Two the Hard Way'' provides examples of:
30* CoverVersion: Half of the album is filled with covers.
31* OneBookAuthor: The album is credited to "Allman and Woman", and is the only full record they recorded together.
32* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Their cover of Jimmy Webb's "Do What You Gotta Do" is most likely this, considering their failing marriage.
33* SillyLoveSongs: Many songs are really cheesy song about love. Considering that the album was made by a married couple of musicians, this is a given.
34* StepUpToTheMicrophone: Both Gregg and Cher have one track where they use lead vocals. ("Shadow Dream Song" and "Island" respectively)
