Husband and wife duo My Darling Clementine evoke the great country duets of Porter Waggoner and Dolly Parton, George Jones and Tammy Wynette and Johnny and June. Their 2011 debut, How Do You Plead, won awards on both sides of the Atlantic, with songs about betrayal, regret, anger, guilt, revenge and hurt.
“It was theatre, it was country music, it was rock ‘n’ roll”
