My Darling Clementine

One of the many definitions of harmony is..  agreement; accord; harmonious relations, so it is a sweet irony that in Country Music, the joining of two voices should so often be used to sing about disharmony.  Songs of betrayal, regret, anger, guilt, revenge and hurt.  But it is that contradiction which draws us to this music. 2 people, singing to each other, about each other,  while staring directly into each others eyes.  As listeners we become voyeurs to something so personal. Like eavesdropping neighbours tuning into a domestic. We are at once curious, sad, compelled but yet unable to turn away.  The classic country duets were undoubtedly at their peak in the late 60s and 1970s, the likes of George Jones & Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and Porter Waggoner, Johnny & June and many more. Fast forward 40 years and those timeless themes are alive and well in the hands , and voices of……..My Darling Clementine (aka Michael Weston King and Lou Dalgleish)
