The duo is one of the strong traditions in folk music, and on this program, we’ll present some pairs of musicians who play well with others. You’ll hear Robin and Linda Williams, James Bryan and Carl Jones, Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard, Sara and Maybelle Carter, and many more, from the past and recorded more recently. Duets in song and tune … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
