All the Road Running (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Expectations are high when such Höchstkaräter as Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler get together - but no matter how high you have screwed the expectations of "All the Road Running", they will not be disappointed. A beautifully harmonious, loose album, you are not even his perfection, so effortlessly takes over the music that is rooted solidly in folk, country and rock. No musical posturing far and wide. These two exceptional skiers do not need to prove it, they can.

Sure, all can Mark Knopfler Dire Straits never deny, but why should he? Rather it can be said, good that he can not do it! Two guitar beats, and you can see him. Similarly, it is with Emmylou Harris' effortless soprano: Although it also is likely to be over 60 now already - it is believed a 20-year to hear.

The harmony is impressive; you realize that Harris and Knopfler not cooperate for the first time. Duets its finest; these two voices fit together so that one wonders: In fact, this is (despite occasional previous cooperation), the first joint album of the two!

All tracks were composed by Mark Knopfler alone (says in any case the booklet) - Emmylou Harris' handwriting is but to hear as clearly.

Highlights this album has a minimum of 12 - every track is a little gem.

However, some jewels sparkle even brighter than the others: "Donkey Town" for example: Here, presented Mark Knopfler as a balladeer, restrained accompanied by acoustic guitar and Emmylou Harris ... On "Red Staggerwing" Harris turns the tables; this country song that sounds like a Hank Williams classic and is instrumented so, they clearly dominated. And how!

Other highlights: "Beach Coming", "This Is Us" or "Beyond My Wildest Dreams" that sound a bit like mix Emmylou Harris in the first Dire Straits LP (Note: Also Perfect can still perfecting) ,

And then this almost spartan staged songs - "I Dug Up A Diamond", "Love and Happiness" or "Rolling On": otherworldly harmony, weightless, floating, beyond the genres and drawers, and not just a case for incorrigible romantics and melancholy.

The final point is "If This Is Goodbye"; already the music goes to the heart, but that does not mean that one should not pay attention to the text ...

Finally, the theme song: A melancholy country number with Irish-influenced instrumentation that melts in the ear. "All the Road Running" is simply beautiful, movingly beautiful. A clear case for the repeat button - this is true for each song as well as for the whole album.
