Two Dollar Pistols With Tift MerrittTwo Dollar Pistols With Tift Merritt
Country-rock duets haven’t sounded this good since the collaborations of Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. Three years before she released her critically acclaimed debut Bramble Rose in 2002, Tift Merritt teamed with the Chapel, NC-based country outfit Two Dollar Pistols to record this stunning 7-track EP. Merritt, whose voice and face are equally gorgeous, perfectly complements Pistols’ singer John Howie Jr. Five of the cuts are exquisite covers of minor country classics, including Charley Pride’s “(I’m So Afraid) Of Losing You” and Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton’s “Just Someone I Used To Know.” Perhaps the finest moment, however, is an original: the tender opener “If Only You Were Mine,” is Grievous Angel-worthy.
