Friday, June 29, 2018 – It's a day of duos when it comes to releases.
The Milk Carton Kids - Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan - are out with "All The Things That I Did and All the Things That I Didn't Do" on Anti. The duo recorded the 11-song release in Nashville with Joe Henry producing.
The duo Everette released its label debut today with "Slow Roll" out as a five-song EP on Broken Bow. Brent Rupard and Anthony Olympia released the title track as the first single. The two went to high school eight miles apart in rural Bullitt County, Kentucky. Named for George Clooney's character in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" the duo helped write four of the songs, played almost every instrument and co-produced.
