Spotlight: Steve Martin featuring Vince Gill and Dolly Parton – “Pretty Flowers”
From Actor/Comedian Steve Martin’s plucky new banjo album The Crow: New Songs For The Five String-Banjo comes the Vince Gill/Dolly Parton duet “Pretty Flowers,” the first in our new weekly series which will highlight songs recommended by The 9513′s editors and staff.
Effervescent and infectious, “Pretty Flowers” showcases truly delightful vocal performances by Gill and Parton, with Parton’s contribution being especially colorful; underlined by a series of sprightly vocal runs, Dolly sounds younger and more engaging than she has in years.
A beautiful duet by two of country music’s greatest singers, “Pretty Flowers” is a sweet love song with a light-hearted nature perfectly suited to the Valentine’s season.
“Pretty Flowers” is available exclusively from Amazon:

Being a fan of both artists, I’m, of course in agreement here.

I agree. It’s a nice song. Thanks for the heads-up so I could add it to my collection.

Any chance Jypsi’s “Half Way Home Cafe” will ever make it into one of these features? Naw, I didn’t think so. Darn….

I must express to Steve Martin how DEAR this song Pretty Flowers is. It’s simple, honest, refreshing, clean, scrubbed, loving, and an absolutely WELCOMED song in the wake of all this ‘so-called’ talent of today – the shrieking and screaming in the name of entertainment should be abolished. Pretty Flowers is PRECIOUS. Thank you for these sweet lyrics.
