Dan Melchior - Laughing to Keep From Crying

Dan Melchior and Holly Golightly’s voices do beautiful things together. This song reminds me of the duets Blind Willie McTell would do with his wife Kate McTell, something I think is probably intentional.

Moishe Oysher and Florence Weiss - Chasidic in America

Oh my god, this song. Moishe Oysher is really something.
