I Hear America Singing - Duos

Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger sing 'Way Out There', a song that they learned from Woody Guthrie’s buddy Cisco Houston. Ian and Sylvia perform the Canadian song 'Four Rode By' while Glen Campbell and Bobbi Gentry sing their hit Mornin’ Glory.

From the Colonial days comes the courting song 'Paper of Pins' by Oscar Brand and Jean Ritchie. Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson sing Nanci Griffith’s 'Gulf Coast Highway' while Nanci and Guy Clark do Guy’s Desperados 'Waiting for a Train'. Houston’s Trout Fishing in America perform 'There’s a Panther in Michigan' and John Prin and Iris DeMent debate that lifelong conundrum, 'Who’s Gonna Take the Garbage Out?'
