Although five is the usual number of members in a bluegrass ensemble, there’s something wonderful about hearing two musicians pick together. The musical conversations between a pair of instruments—and sometimes a pair of voices too—are laid bare on this special playlist, with great pairings like Bela Fleck and Sam Bush, Mike Barnett and Buddy Spicher, and Linda Ronstadt and Laurie Lewis. Enjoy this playlist of bluegrass duets!
