Soundcheck
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.
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.
