Music Friday: "Gasoline" & "Birmingham"

I learned about the musical duo of Carrie Ann Hearst and Michael Trent from a post about Shovels and Rope on the fine music blog HearYa.

Shovels and Rope is one of those female-male collaborations that seem to be multiplying nowadays. Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, The Civil Wars, and now Shovels and Rope (Hearst and Trent).

It's hard to top the fine work of Welch and Rawlings, but Shovels and Rope might give them some scrappy competition. The duo's second album, O' Be Joyful, comes out at the end of the month.

Below you'll find "Gasoline" from their first album, and "Birmingham" is from their upcoming release.
