Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell celebrated the release of their new duets album, Old Yellow Moon, last week with a live-streaming performance and conversation in The Greene Space for New York public radio station WNYC's Soundcheck. The duo performed three album tracks—Crowell's "Here We Are," Allen Reynolds' "Dreaming My Dreams," and Kris Kristofferson's "Chase the Feeling"—and talk with host John Schaefer about this, their first official collaboration together since Crowell joined Harris’ Hot Band in 1975. The show will air on tonight's broadcast of Soundcheck on the radio at WNYC 93.9 FM, starting at 9 PM ET, as well as on WDET 101.9 FM in Detroit, and online at soundcheck.org. You can also watch the entire performance and interview below.
