Long-time friends and admirers Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle have united to record their self-titled debut as Colvin & Earle, a true standout for each in a catalog chock-full of pinnacles and masterpieces. Produced by co-conspirator Buddy Miller and recorded in his living room studio, Colvin & Earle consists primarily of co-written originals and some well-chosen covers including Ian & Sylvia's "You Were on My Mind" and Emmylou Harris' "Raise the Dead."
