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.

Music Friday: "That Old Thing" & "Petunia"
You know an album is fresh when one of the few videos I can find features some dude's head blocking Bela Fleck playing with the Marcus Roberts Trio.
Right when I complain about there not being any new albums that have gotten me excited lately, a few days later I purchased Across the Imaginary Divide by Bela Fleck and the Marcus Roberts Trio. The album is a collaboration between arguably the best banjo player on the planet and one of the finest jazz trios out there.
Here's another tune from the album.
