Done in this fashion, you suddenly realize, love is a two way street. Both parties realize their failings and want to put it back together again…”little things we should’ve said and done, we just never took the time”. This heartfelt, honest lyric, takes on an even deeper meaning as a duet giving the song yet another lease on life. “Spiders and Snakes” BJ and Brittany are sure to put a smile on your face with their playful approach to this “one of a kind” song first made popular by Conway and Loretta. “The Door is Always Open” Originally made popular by the group “Dave and Sugar”; this snappy bluegrass version highlights the amazing talents of fiddle player Jimmy Van Cleve. Again, BJ and Brittany revive a long forgotten smash. It’s a hit all over again… as exciting and fresh as the day it was born! “Let’s Go All the Way” A provocative title, laden with innuendo, was quite controversial when first released in 1963 by Norma Jean of the Porter Wagoner show. This wonderfully crafted song done for the first time as a duet couldn’t be more perfect….true country music at its finest! “Somethin’ to Brag About” How much fun can you have in the next say 3:33? Here’s a song about an elevator operator and a short order cook that are smitten with each other. Brittany and BJ tell the story as if it were their own. A driving bluegrass tempo and Randy Kohrs burning it up on the dobro will have you foot stompin’ knee slappin’ happy before it’s over. “Let it Be Me” originally recorded by Jerry Butler and Betty Everett is a classic of classics. This version with its sparse acoustic production is the most intimate yet. One man, one woman, one song – the quintessential duet! “Jackson” “We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout” This no holds barred bluegrass track by Nashville’s finest musicians (Randy Kohrs – dobro, Scott Vestal – banjo, Kevin Grantt – upright bass, Josh Williams – acoustic guitar, Andy Leftwich – Mandolin and Jimmy Van Cleve – fiddle) will have you pushing repeat repeatedly. Johnny and June did it first. BJ and Brittany take it up another notch! “The Last Thing on My Mind” is another song retrieved from country music’s golden era. First made popular by Porter and Dolly, BJ and Brittany treat it with the respect. Their vocal styles are naturally reminiscent of the legends which results in an, unforgettable, legendary performance of their own. "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", done originally by The Shirelles, a girl group, is an even "more to the point" heartfelt duet ... BJ and Brittany do it right. “Never Ending Song of Love” Once you hear this song – you know it! Singalongability is a true mark of a classic song and this one is the ultimate example. Having been recorded in virtually every genre of music, it’s seems as though it were destined to be a bluegrass duet. This truly is a “Never Ending Song of Love” “Save the Last Dance for Me” Written by two of Brooklyn’s finest, Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, this song is a CLASSIC, a STANDARD, a BENCHMARK in the world of music. It crosses all boundaries, all styles, all genres. As unbelievable as it may seem, this song had never been done as a duet – until now!
