Jewel and Merle Haggard on the CMT awards.

Traci Chapman and B B King doing "The Thrill Is Gone" - but that one worked.

Big Mick,

You talk about unlikely pairings, but Willie and Ray sure did pull of a classic with that one.

Yeah, but when Willie and Ray Charles did "7 Spanish Angels" it was classic. Never would have thought the two of them would mesh. I loved a good deal of the "Half Nelson" album, but thought the Iglesias pairing was weak. Didn't care much for the Mel Tillis pairing either.

I think Frank was alive, but they did not sing in the studio on the same day. Pretty much the same thing, I guess.

I for one really enjoyed Bing and Bowie.

I believe that Bono and Sinatra was done after Frank died (not big on that whole thing either). I think Frank would have pulled the plug on it had he been alive.

There aren't many bigger Willie fans than me, but I wasn't big on the Julio collaboration. Nor did I enjoy a lot of the guests on Milk Cow Blues.

David Bowie and Bing Crosby doing "Little Drummer Boy" are the first ones to come to mind.

The second one I can think of is last Sunday when Buddy Whittendon { John Mayall's lead guitarist } joined our folk group for a song. Yee-Haaa

I understand that Carol Channing and Pete Seeger once appeared together. Can anyone point to other unlikely pairs, at least of whom is a folk musician (however defined)?
