Colvin & Earle On World Cafe

The two songwriters finish each other's phrases as they discuss the co-writing process for their new album as a duo. Hear the conversation and watch a live performance.
Singer-songwriters Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle have known each other for three decades. They were bandmates even before Colvin released her debut album in 1989, and Colvin covered Earle's song "Someday" for her 1994 album Cover Girl. But it was only recently that the two began touring and recording together as Colvin & Earle. They released their album Colvin & Earle, recorded in Nashville with producer Buddy Miller, earlier this summer.
