This captivating new acoustic album from vocalist Dawn Tyler Watson and guitarist Paul Deslauriers is a pleasure from start to finish. A kind of musical holiday, the pair decided to take time off from their respective groups and to make an unpretentious, heartfelt record, without bass or drums, stripping their sound down to the barebones of voice and the guitar. The repertoire includes some of rock's finest songwriting, from the Miracles to Bruce Cockburn and from Steve Earle to Led Zeppelin, with some originals added for good measure.
