The full title of this
/
duo album is
, an important point since the album credits never indicate who's playing what. It appears that
and
each picked up one or the other of the indicated instruments for the tunes selected for this picking session and went to town. That the word "Voices" appears last is significant in that this is largely an instrumental album. The two performers only begin singing toward the end, when they apply their voices to
and their version of
's update of the old Andrew Jackson campaign song
(recently a chart-topping hit for
). Otherwise, they make their way through loosely arranged versions of old folk, country, blues, ragtime, and international songs in what is a friendly, casual musical travelogue. This is not a major album for the catalogs of either performer, but it is a light, enjoyable effort. ~ William Ruhlmann
