Duets — The Power of 2

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

This is a simple show: Six new albums and one from the Folk File that feature duets and all the vocal and instrumental dynamics that come from twosomes. The bonus was having the music coming at listeners from different musical branches of the folk tree, although half of the pieces are from tradition or quite near to it.
