Who can resist a collaboration between The Constantines and Feist doing a rendition of a song that was made famous by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, but originally written by The Bee Gees? Not me. As a clever marketing move to help promote the upcoming Constantines album Kensington Heights , Arts and Crafts have issued this special recording of "Islands in the Stream" on a limited...

Up next: The Astros will travel to Lakeland, Fla., to play the Tigers on Wednesday, beginning at 12:05 p.m. CT.
