It Takes Two to Tango

Wednesday, March 15, 2006

They say it takes two to tango. Anthony DeCurtis of Rolling Stone Magazine joins us for a discussion of the age-old genre of the musical duet, from classic pairings like George Jones and Tammy Wynette, and through more contemporary ones like Mariah Carey and Old Dirty Bastard. Also, a visit with the Canadian fiddle-driven band of eight musical brothers and sisters known as Leahy. And: the overabundant iPod accessories market.


What Makes A Duo Great?

Anthony DeCurtis joins us for a conversation about the best musical duets.


All in the Family

The 8-piece Canadian band known as Leahy is unique in their multi-genre instrumental sound, which combines jazz, bluegrass, country and Celtic music. And, they're all siblings. They perform live in the studio.
