So it’s Friday and I need to write a review / recommendation today….I know you’re counting on me! 😉 The one tune that hit me on the way to work today was a Sugarland song: “These are the Days.” I had heard it before, but I had to listen to it twice because it was so good (that’s my measure of good). I love Kristian singing…it was a true duet.
Country music has such a rich history of duets: George and Tammy, Conway and Loretta, Kenny and Dolly, and on and on. There’s definitely something about the harmony, particularly when it’s a male and female.
Do you have a fav duet? Country or not. Maybe you can turn me on to some I don’t know about!
Ok! Here are a few of my favorites in no particular order:
Alison Krauss and Robert Plant- Rich Woman
Gweneth Paltrow and Babyface- Just My Imagination
Michael and Janet Jackson- Scream
Bryan Adams and Melanie C- When You’re Gone
Gwen Stefani and Moby- South Side
David Bowie and Freddie Mercury- Under Pressure
Whenever I Call You Friend- Stevie Nicks and Kenny Loggins
The Mess We’re In- PJ Harvey and Tom Yorke
Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around- Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks
House Of Love- Amy Grant and Vince Gill
and of course…..
Endless Love- Lionel Richie and Diana Ross
I could keep going for days…
Noj…looks like you’re gonna have to hook me up with a few new tracks :). My fav on your list is the Stevie Nicks / Tom Petty…awesome.
Although I love Sugarland, I’m always a Mellencamp fan! Loved that blast from the past!
Have to throw in an oldie but goodie: Wayne Watson & Sandi Patti (Another Time, Another Place)
Ah yes, definitely a classic 🙂
I knew we would be friends, Chris, when I walked into the cafeteria at Burke and saw you wearing a Wayne Watson T-shirt :).
