COLVIN & EARLE GARNERS INTERNATIONAL ACCLAIM
COLVIN & EARLE GARNERS INTERNATIONAL ACCLAIM “If the new work does pack an emotional punch, then credit the synchronicity that fuels their partnership.“
“The joyous opener, ‘Come What May’ showcases their well-suited voices over a barreling guitar figure that sets the tone for the next nine songs.”
“They’ve elevated their collaboration to the level of top-flight albummaking, bringing seemingly opposing impulses to the process.”
“Colvin & Earle is rough...and thoroughly charming.”
“The two voices make for an ideal fit, spinning out harmonies that see Earle’s raspy tones rub up against the softer cadence of Colvin’s delivery.” 7 out of 10
“Colvin & Earle is a romantic survivors’ unflinching Bible— and well worth the deeper listen.”
“There are fine songs here, from the bluesy, harmonica-backed ‘You’re Right, I’m Wrong’ to the stirring folk-gospel ‘Tell Me Moses’ and the gently pained country weepie ‘You’re Still Gone.’”
“Take two of our most revered contemporary folk/country veterans in Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle, add production by Buddy Miller and his friends...you’ve hit on the recipe that makes this such an alluring, attractive pairing.”
“Their voices work really well together, Colvin’s gentle delivery nuzzling up to the raspier Earle.”
“The duo sound great together— their raspy voices blending to really sell the songs.”
“There’s a celebratory tone inscribed in each of the album’s offerings overall, a spirited sound that characterizes the material, regardless of origin.” 9/10
“The six original co-writes sound like neither artist’s typical solo work, but rather about what you might expect if you combined their respective aesthetics, with elements of both rough rambling and lyrical introspection.”
“The unlikely beauty of Colvin & Earle is found in the jagged edges produced by two voices of contrasting timbre and tension.”
“Colvin’s voice proves to be a fine match for Earle’s more rugged instrument, and he shows good instincts as he dodges in and around her lead lines.”
“The pair’s realignment for an album of co-writes and covers show off both as wise and generous collaborators.”
