Under the expert guidance of producer Brian Seeger, this collection captures the pair's undeniable chemistry and dynamic emotional range.Whether soaring with the playful elegance of a big band or whispering with chamber-like subtlety, Quinn's voice and Barrett's guitar create a conversation rich with nuance and heart. Just... Quinn & Barrett is not just an album - it's a love letter to the art of song and the joy of shared discovery.
