Nice version. For me, the ultimate version is the first one I heard, by James and Joni - also in London. Back when they seemed to still have a spark between them.

It would have been recorded at the end of May 1994/beginning of June 1994. 5 sessions in 5 nights for Loudon & Co. There is even a pic of Iris, James & Loudon from the sessions. (google for Identity Crisis,Iris Dement, Carlene Carter , Jasper Carrott....)
The transatlantic sessions themselves were recorded in November of that year in Ayrshire, SW of Glasgow.

this is fun. ive seen it a dozen times and I am impressed by how careful he is with her. For whatever reason, perhaps they were unfamiliar with each other's timing, but he is giving her cues, like time steps, to bring her into several of the lines. they are obviously both aware of her missed entrances, but he is so good at covering it seems naturally done.

a good duet depends on the strength of each voice, and how well they match. The other one that comes close to this is David Gray and Annie Lennox--this is delightful,
