“The generosity of Dolly Parton adding her beautiful harmonies to her 1975 hit, The Seeker, has been a dream come true. Today’s premiere is a new version of a Dolly Parton classic, with Miss Dolly singing with Julie and Dan, which Dan says makes this recording for them. Julie and Dan are the featured vocalists, with guest harmonies coming from heavy hitters like Dolly Parton, Rhonda Vincent, Ashley Lewis, and their daughter, Kiara Jolene. This newest record includes 21 tracks, nine Gospel favorites, and 12 written by Dan. So they cut a pair of all-Gospel projects, Songs of Sorrow, Songs of Hope and Thy Holy Water, which have received millions of streams, and a new album releasing April 22 called Hymns – Some of Old, Some of New. At first they offered their original songs primarily to friends for their weddings, until requests began to pile up of people asking for recordings. This couple from Wisconsin have been touring and recording together since 2016, but the two began singing in tandem shortly after they were married. We have a track premiere today from Julie and Dan Krolow, who go by Julie & Dan, to add to that list. Sierra Hull and Justin Moses often tour together, and Donna Ulisse and Rick Stanley perform in the same band, but they don’t co-bill or even share last names, so do they count? We all know Darin & Brooke Aldridge and Kenny & Amanda Smith, but can you think of many others. Husband and wife duos are not uncommon in bluegrass, though hardly the norm.
