Boy girl voices - Johnny Cash and June Carter

One of my favourite duets ever featuring Johnny Cash and June Carter. Here's a great version of Jackson from The Grand Ole Opry in 1968. That's quite a quiff that Johnny's sporting.

On a related note, I'm reading The House of Cash: The legacies of my father by John Carter Cash which offers a fascinating and intimate insight into the great Man in Black.

Boy girl voices - The Vaselines

Another great song with the whole boy/ girl thing going on. One of my fave songs by The Vaselines - Son of a Gun. And, what makes it better is that I was there!

Boy girl voices - Veronica Falls

To mark the return, a new series - this time favourite boy/ girl vocals. Here's a relatively up to date one. Veronica Falls and Found love in a graveyard.

New discoveries

Over the course of gig going, recent rehearsals and extensive radio listening, I have found three new-to-me bands that I want to share. Weirdly, they all begin with 'P'.

1. Peggy Sue - spotted supporting Wild Flag in Glasgow recently. Good voices and guitar action too.



2. Penguins Kill Polar Bears - overheard making a helluva noise at The Depot rehearsal rooms in Edinburgh. On the same evening Kid Canaveral were practising too - indie glitterati indeed!



3. Papercuts - yes, I know they have been around for a while, but that's ok! Sub Pop reckon the latest album is Belle and Sebastian crossed with Slowdive, recorded by Phil Spectre. How can that be bad?
