There was a great Scottish series called Transatlantic Sessions from the 90's where many country artists played with luminaries of the trad. folk movement in the Isles. Here are a couple of my faves from that show. The first is the Sweetheart of the Rodeo, Emmylou Harris with two of my favorite Irish singers, Mary Black & Delores Keane singing the song "Sonny".
The second is Iris Dement and Emmylou singing Dement's song, the hauntingly beautiful,"Our Town." Two of the purest female country voices around these days.
