Co-producing with Chuck Ainlay, Knopfler Shares his Electric, Acoustic and Slide Playing with Guitarist Richard Bennett. The Other Musicians in the Line-up Are: Jim Cox and Guy Fletcher Keyboards, Glen Duncan Fiddle and Mandolin, Dan Dugmore Steel, Glen Worf Bass and Chad Cromwell and Danny Cummins Drums. Emmylou Harris is an Eleven-time Grammy Winner and Billboard Century Award Recipient who Has Made Great Contributions as a Vocalist, Songwriter and Influential Figure with her Work. She Has Recorded More Than 20 Albums and Lent her Talents to Fellow Artists on Countless Records. 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 NashMore Mark & Emmylou
