Writing about Tom and Tara Dunphy's classic-sounding male/female country duets on The Rizdales' fantastic new How The Marriage Ended! album left me wondering what their favourite recordings in the genre might be. So I asked Tom put together a top 10 list which you'll find below in no particular order...
"Here's our list. It's not necessarily a definitive top 10, but they're all songs we get a lot of enjoyment from. We've included some obvious classics – hey, they're classics for a reason – along with few recent duets that get us every time. And yes, I realize that they're not strictly male/female duets."
Tom Dunphy, The Rizdales
"When that list was being put together, Tom left out one of my favourites – Steve Earle and Iris DeMent's recording of I'm Still In Love With You from the album The Mountain. It's a classic!"
