Colvin & Earle - Colvin & Earle album flac

For the most part, Earle and Colvin sing as one, but for The Way That We Do, their vocals separate to describe a courtship told from two perspectives. There is reckless love, too – the upbeat pop number You Were On My Mind channels the anxiety of going through your day missing someone lost to time. There is already talk of a second album. Earle says he feels comfortable in this new setting and it all goes back to what he heard onstage almost two years ago. I genuinely became a fan of those two voices and wanted to write songs for them, he says.

Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle’s paths first crossed at the iconic Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton, Massachusetts, when she opened for Earle on one of his earliest solo tours. A deep friendship and mutual appreciation for each other’s work followed, with Colvin covering Earle’s restless anthem Someday, from his 1986 neo-traditionalist breakthrough album Guitar Town, on her 1994 LP Cover Girl. He signed on, and soon the idea of a collaborative album took shape: Colvin & Earle, released in June, is a collection of songs the two penned together and a few classic covers, including the Rolling Stones’ Ruby Tuesday and Emmylou Harris’s Raise the Dead. Colvin and Earle, in separate interviews, recently spoke with Rolling Stone Country about their new album and tour, the role of protest songs in their early careers and their different approaches to presidential politics.

But in 2016, as the two team up for their first album as a duo, Colvin & Earle are folkies - hip folkies, to be sure, but at heart two singer/songwriters on the far side of 50 who like swapping harmonies and strumming their acoustic guitars. Colvin & Earle sound like good friends who enjoy singing together, and this album has a lively and spontaneous atmosphere, especially when the two are singing old covers.
