Geoff Palmer & Lucy Ellis - "In Spite Of Ourselves"

You can imagine I was over the moon when I saw that two of my favorite people in music had recorded a duet! And let me tell you, I was not disappointed! Geoff Palmer and Lucy Ellis have teamed up long distance to pay tribute to the great John Prine in the wake of his recent passing. They've collaborated on an absolutely wonderful version of Prine's classic "In Spite Of Ourselves". Zack Sprague and Kris Rodgers also lent their musical talents to this delightful track, which Palmer recorded and produced. The song, available as a digital single from Bandcamp, Spotify, etc. has been accompanied by the super fun music video I've embedded below. I love how Geoff and Lucy show tremendous affection for the original song while still allowing their own style and personality to come through. You won't need to be a John Prine fan to enjoy this cover. And you won't need to be a Geoff Palmer or Lucy and the Rats fan to enjoy it either - although you might quickly become one! These two sure know how to make a duet work. Will there be more coming? Maybe if we ask nicely!
