This ended up being a very informative seven inch! The a-side is Constantines and Feist combining forces to cover the classic Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton song "Islands in the Stream." But then I'm looking at the back of the sleeve and it says the song was written by the Gibb brothers, aka the Bee Gees! According to my exhaustive research (aka wikipedia), they actually wrote it for Marvin Gaye but Kenny Rogers ended up using it instead. Ain't that some shit! Oh yeah, this Constantines/Feist version is totally great. I'm not usually a Feist fan but she works really well here. And the b-side is the Constantines' song "Trans Canada" from their album "Kensington Heights" - love that song.
