Plenty of superstar couples have chemistry onstage together, but it’s a little rarer for husband-and-wife teams to collaborate on the songwriting process.
For example, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are one of country music’s most iconic couples, and together, they’ve recorded some of the genre’s most romantic love songs. But hits like “It’s Your Love” and “Let’s Make Love” were both actually written by other songwriters.
In this list, we’re examining the husband-and-wife teams who’ve got great chemistry in the songwriters’ room. For some artists, like Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert and Garth Brooks, it seems like songwriting is a natural extension of a romantic relationship: All three have co-written great country songs with multiple romantic partners over the years.
Then there are other couples who simply seem like a package deal. Felice and Boudleaux Bryant are arguably the greatest songwriting team in country music history, but in the modern era, there’s another husband and wife who are hot on their heels. This couple are inseparable onstage, and they’ve also worked together on a number of songs for other artists. Can you guess who it is?
