DUETS BY STRANGE BEDFELLOWS (OR UNLIKELY PAIRS)

l483260l — Sat, 22 Sep 2018 02:19:10 GMT

THIS COULD BE FUN: WE COULD START WITH ACTUAL DUETS, THEN GO TO DREAM DUETS/WORST IDEA DUETS...

I'LL START W/ SOME ACTUALS;

TOM WAITS & CRYSTAL GAYLE-"ONE FROM THE HEART" SOUNDTRACK; LYLE LOVETT& AL GREEN_"FUNNY HOW TIME SLIPS AWAY"; BOB DYLAN& JOHNNY CASH-"NASHVILLE SKYLINE".

Brilliant idea! First one that comes to mind . . . (and Willie has others, too)

To All the Girls I've Loved Before - Willie Nelson & Julio Iglesias

@l483260l - You reminded me of the old variety tv shows like Andy Williams, Dean Martin, Glenn Campbell, etc. They all had guests on their shows that ranged in genres, and they usually managed to croon out a tune with them. I suspect there are a lot of unlikely pairings in those old shows!

This is one of the most unlikely pairings, and it has turned out to be one of my favorite albums. It also won two Grammys (Album of the Year, Best Contemporary Folk Album, 2009).

Raising Sand - Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

HAVEN'T HEARD IT, BUT WILL GIVE A LISTEN

Here's another unlikely combo whose musical styles really work well together. Maybe it's because they have some basic Celtic inspired roots. I've always been a fan of both and love this album, too!

All the Road Running - Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris

Here's a sample -

NOT A FAN OF EITHER- BUT THIS SONG- WOW! IT REMINDED ME OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE DUETS: JIMMIE DALE GILMORE& LUCINDA WILLIAMS-"REUNION". HE HAS AN ETHEREAL VOICE & A STYLE IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF; HER VOICE SOUNDS TO ME LIKE TEXAS - WHISKEY & HONEY

This was a great pairing although I was skeptical at the time.

WOW- YOU REMINDED ME OF MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS SONG: BING CROSBY& DAVID BOWIE:"LITTLE DRUMMER BOY".

WHO WOULD WE MOST LIKE TO HEAR WILLIE SING WITH? TONY BENNETT, BOB DYLAN,... MICK JAGGER?

How about Willie and Keith Richards?

Re: DUETS BY STRANGE BEDFELLOWS (OR UNLIKELY PAIRS)

MaVolta — Wed, 17 Oct 2018 21:27:11 GMT

How about an unlikely supergroup? Willie, Keith Richards, Hank Williams III, and Ryan Adams singing the RS classic, Dead Flowers. Love it!!

TOM WAITS( OKAY, I ADMIT I'M HUNG ON HIM!) WITH KEITH RICHARDS & MICK JAGGER?- ON "BAD AS ME" CD. WOULD THE TRAVELING WILBURYS COUNT AS ONE OF YOUR SUPER GROUPS? HOW ABOUT THE HIGHWAYMEN?

Re: DUETS BY STRANGE BEDFELLOWS (OR UNLIKELY PAIRS)

Most definitely! Maybe super-super groups is more appropriate!
