I'm sure this has been asked and answered before. Who is singing the duet with Frank on "Strange Goodbye"? I searched for and couldn't find the answer.

Haven't heard it (waiting for the release), but I believe it's Jean, his ex-wife.

That makes sense. I do pick up a sort of "Johnny and June going to Jackson" vibe to it. "Goodbye, that's all she wrote."

Thanks.

Awkward shmawkward.

Jean is a wonderful person and the two of them remain friendly. The duet idea was all his. You can read in whatever you like, but I think him putting this out there in this form is incredibly forthright and open coming from a man who is essentially quite private.

Howzat?

best,
Jon

Jon, it's always a thrill to hear from you. I thank you for this
particularly insightful, insider's post. Please tell us more about each
and every Honeycomb song, of course without violating
The Man's privacy.

I think she sounds great. I didn't even know she sung. Has she done this before anywhere? I only thought she did standup. Very good stuff. Thanks all who answered the question or added their two bits. And I second what kathryn said.

yeah jon,
but the lyrics
they are all about that it's akward that they are saying goodbye
akward doesn't have to be negative
it can be quite good sometimes
When I hear the song it's a blue print for the situation that can happen to any couple: you love eachother dearly, but it just have to end. (that's how frank said it in an interview)

Jon,
Was that line "funny how an evening turns into years" where Jean's voice cracks left in for the live effect? If not, just wondering why this wasn't re-done, because it's sort of like nails on a chalkboard or something.
Not trying to be an a-hole, just wondering if this was a consideration during mixing/production.

franknweezer, bear in mind that that version is unfinished. there's a chance it'll be completely different (with a different take) in the final copy..


Oh let it linger

And Jean will be replaced by Courtney Love.

Oh, wait. We're supposed to squash that rumor, not spread it.
