Caitlin Cary and Thad Cockrell
Songs Caitlin and Thad perform for 'World Cafe':
August 16, 2005Thad Cockrell and Caitlin Cary share songwriting duties — and duet vocals — on their new album, Begonias. For the well-traveled friends, it's all about the golden age of country duets: the 1970s.
Cockrell, whose career includes two solo albums, and Cary, formerly of Whiskeytown, recorded the songs for Begonias in Nashville, where Cockrell now lives. The album evokes the spirits of George Jones with Tammy Wynette, or Loretta Lynn with Conway Twitty.
