Carpenter and Calo dive into the immense library of music from Carly Simon, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon, songwriting giants who created some of the most endearing and lasting music of our time.
Carly Simon said of Calo’s recent album, “Peter Calo is the musician you meet early in your career and all of a sudden you’re 70 years old and you’re lucky enough to still be playing and writing with him. This album shows his ability to merge styles and introduce new structures and harmonies with himself singing lead vocals. Always an inspiration and always quite surprising.”
