Album Review - Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris - All the Roadrunning
Despite a seven-year gestation period that found Mark Knopfler and
Emmylou Harris sporadically slipping into recording studios whenever
their paths would cross, All the Roadrunning is a surprisingly seamless
set of material -- poised at the crossroads of country, folk, and blues
-- that plays to the strengths of its participants. Throughout the
warmly lit and deeply intimate affair, the duo largely portray
themselves as they take a decidedly mature approach to their ruminations
upon love, both lost and found. Yet, given its frequently slow-moving
gait as well as its elegantly tasteful production flourishes, the
collection also is so unassuming and effortless that initially it's all
too easy to overlook the emotional intensity that lies beneath its surface.
