This performance is excellent, all of their stuff really is. They do a phenomenal cover of Dylan's Boots of Spanish Leather.

Thanks for posting this. These two are amazing.

Saw them in concert a few months ago. They are just as good live as on recording. And they’ve got a great story. Started as musical collaborators and became lovers. They have a child now. One of my favorite groups.
