Shawna said adds, "This is really surreal for Keifer and I. We are so thankful Benny Brown believed in us and gave us a record deal. We will forever relish this memory."

The curse of the sophomore jinx looms large, and many bands have fallen trying to hammer out a follow-up while navigating newfound stardom. Not, however, these two.

CD review - Thompson Square Real-life couple duets carry an honorable tradition in country music. Who could forget the flirtatious sparring of Carter/Cash, the hard-times love of Jones/Wynette or swooning of Hill/McGraw?
