Just Shootin’ the Breeze ‘Bout Some Dream Country Duos
♦ Luke Combs & Chris Stapleton: Writer fantasizes ’bout these two powerhouses, with their gravelly voices and true-blue-country vibes. The thought of these boys singing a bluegrass number together gives the writer goosebumps.
♦ Miranda Lambert & Kacey Musgraves: A combination of these two spirited fillies could pave way for a fiesty tune that’s as wild and pretty as a Texas sunset.
♦ Willie Nelson & Sturgill Simpson: This suggestion smells sweeter than a honeysuckle in June. The writer imagines a duo that blends old eras with new, creating soulful melodies and ageless heartbreak stories.
♦ George Strait & Tim McGraw: The writer dreams of a classic country blend of Strait’s timeless sound with McGraw’s edgy twang. The result could be a song that makes you want to spin ’round the dance floor with your sweetheart.
♦ Eric Church & Maren Morris: A duet between ‘Bishop’ Church and sassy Morris could bring a little sass and passion to the country music tableau. Like a bourbon-infused chocolate; both smooth and kicky at the same time.
My Two Cents
Well, darlin’, the writer has themselves in a delicious pickle of a daydream, pairing up some of the best voices in country music. Can’t say I blame ’em – the thought of Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton raspin’ out a bluegrass duet does sound sweeter than grandma’s apple pie.
Personally, I’m all aflutter ’bout the thought of Lambert and Musgraves pairin’ up, those girls would put some fire in our boots. And don’t even get me started on that Strait and McGraw combo… just thinking ’bout it makes me feel like I’m back in high school, slow dancin’ at the Friday night hoedown.
But, it’s all just wishful thinking. One could just as easily wish for it to rain cornbread and sweet tea. Although, as they say in country songs, if dreams were horses, cowboys wouldn’t walk. Here’s to hopin’ these duets find their way out of dreamland and onto our radios.
