Legendary folk duo Buskin & Batteau began in earnest when Tom Rush invited them to be his backup band. They stayed for a while, then went out on their own, which is when things really began to heat up: albums on Columbia and Epic, reviews in national magazines and newspapers, an appearance at Carnegie Hall, and songs recorded by Judy Collins, Paula Abdul, Aretha Franklin, and other top artists.
After a thirteen-year hiatus to 1) be dads, and 2) take a nap, Buskin & Batteau are back on the road again. They've released their long-anticipated CD Red Shoes and Golden Hearts, which continues to offer their audiences, in the words of The Washington Post, "an irresistible amalgam of melodic, sensual pop, folkie grit and killer wit."
