Summary: Terrific!!
Comment: I was in a Barnes and Noble one day last year and this CD was playing. I bought the CD and just started listening to it this past month. It is wonderful! I love duets and this CD is great to listen to.

Summary: Knopfler & Harris Are A Perfect Compliment Together
Comment: Unlike the Amazon bonehead reviewer and a VERY few customer reviewers, I found this offering to be extremely well done in every aspect. I own 1000s of CDs including a couple with Emmylou and many with Mark.
I really enjoyed the continuity between the artists, each lending their own sound to enhance the final product. Is there some country? Uh huh. Does it rock? Uh, uh. Am I glad to own it? YOU BET!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Lovely Duets
Comment: This is a nearly perfect collection of songs. Each cut id elegant and spare, with Harris' and Knopfler's wonderful voices supported by tasteful arrangements. It is a wonderful "driving late at night and thinking" CD. My only criticism: I would have liked a cut or two that pushed the tempo and their voices a bit. The cuts all have a similar sound and feel and tend to blend and (I think) lose some of their power. That being said, it is a lovely piece of work that will have broad, cross-market appeal.

Over the last seven years, Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris quietly recorded an album by stealing "a few precious hours of studio time here and there," as the ex-Dire Straits singer/guitarist puts it. Good thing they kept it largely under wraps--expectations would have pushed through the clouds, especially as Knopfler conjured 10 of the 12 cuts, and Harris, who writes potently, but little, contributed two ("Love and Happiness," "Belle Starr"). Yet now that it's here, All the Roadrunning--while beautiful--seems somehow underwhelming, and without a true centerpiece. Anyone familiar with the artists' famous catalogues would expect the repertoire to be poetic and brooding, and that Harris's ethereal soprano would add light to Knopfler's dark Prozac rumblings. But the surprise is that the album is too tame, never breaks out of its midtempo groove, and never takes any big chances.That said, there is much to like: The marital scrapbook romp of "This Is Us," the bluesy bickering of "Right Now," the wrenching poignancy of the 9/11-inspired ballad "If This Is Goodbye." Knopfler, ever the hypnotic guitarist, turns in some thrillingly droll and laconic vocals, and Harris brings the spirited coltishness of her early work to "Belle Starr." In the end, though, this is not so much a duet album as two famously melancholy musicians singing together--at times, strikingly so. --Alanna Nash More Mark & Emmylou
