Saw someone post way earlier re: contrabass/countertenor music, and so here’s my toss out:
I’m always on the lookout for good ‘duet’ music that /isn’t/ Indigo Girls. Not that I don’t like them, it’s just that I’d like a bit more diversity and a bit less granola and Birks.
I like all music genre’s, so don’t be shy.
Also, if it’s just single-song, that’s good too. Gimme Gimme.
I’ll take the blame.
The Kinleys do this sort of thing, but they aren’t doing so hot industry-wise right now; they’ve pretty much dropped off the radar. Same with the Lynns. Both are country.
I’ll think of some more unless someone beats me to it…
I’m not sure I can scale as high as a mezzo-soprano, but I don’t mind getting the names of the songs anyway!
Also-- thanks to everyone else as well. Were the Roches, by any chance, the group that had a song out in the late 80s… all I can remember is the video–they were three women hanging suspended in midair…and one of the lyrics might have been something like, “and that’s why I hate you”…though not 100 percent on that.
You might want to try The Four Bitchin’ Babes, a group of four female folk singers. I’ve also got some CDs by Christine Lavin, one of The Four Bitchin’ Babes which have some nice female harmony.
