My Dentist had this CD playing when I was in for some work a few weeks ago. I had to do some research when I got home. (My Harley rider Dentist doesn't play the typical 'elevator music' all day.). I recognized Knopfler's voice and guitar quickly, but not Emmylou's voice. If I could have spoken with Novocaine mouth I would have asked him. If you like 'Brothers in Arms' and appreciate some alternative country and folk music mixed in, I think you'll really enjoy this one.
All the Roadrunning was a collaborative effort by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris and was released 2006 and contained such hits as "This Is Us" and "Beachcombing". To be honest I did not know who Emmylou Harris was prior to listening to this album. The cd booklet is quite nice many nice photos and lyrics that are easy to read. 4/5.
I listen to all genres of rock. This album has staying power, is a thinking-person's album, sounds great, has terrific lyrics, is well thought out, and basically makes everything else I listen to sound downright crappy. Buy it and listen the heck outta it. There is simply nothing better than this album. BTW if you don't like country music, which I don't, you will still like this album.
This CD doesn't have a bad track. On top of that, the first song, Beachcombing, is great to sing along with. I like to think I do a pretty good Mark Knopfler impression, and to be able to harmonize with Emmy Lou at the same time is awesome. Buy it.Kirby HallSomewhere in the Wilds of Alaska (trashing Sarah Palin)
This is one of my most listened to cds. Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler.They just seem to fit together, each bringing their own compliment to the songs.A great cd
