I really wish Knopfler and Harris had been in closer proximity to each other - it was almost as if they were shouting across the stage at each other, and I know that wasn't the intention - could be they needed the distance so they could harmonize. Anyway, thanks, as always, calypsus_1! |

I don't know, it was kind of a shock to me when her voice came in. It was kind of like Willie Nelson's sister shrieked in on top of Knopflers smooth tones.

This is a great driving song - that sweet shuffle gets me thinking about getting out on a long stretch of road.

I love both these artists. I bought the DVD of the concert with the CD. The best duet album I have ever heard! A big TEN! Yes! Godlike!  |

Love this album, but I seem to hear this one song often. Would be nice to hear others.

My friend always referred to her as Aunty Emmy-Lou - so whenever I hear her voice, that is what I hear in my head. Apparently, E-L went to see The Boss in concert and she asked to go backstage and meet him. Both artistes stood speechless and jaw-dropped in awe at seeing each other. How nice!
Nice story, jools - very sweet |

No matter what song, Knopfler has such a distinctive voice, he seems always to be singing the same song. Upbeat, downbeat, ballad, blues, rock,...alla same, alla time. Zzzzzzzzz......

(imoh) M.K. is probably in the top 10 most gifted guitarist that has ever walked the Earth. His technical ability, sense of melody and warmth of spirit merge for a truly exquisite musical texture that more then compensates for any vocal shortcoming. M.K.'s presence in any genre on any recording increases the quality or of that work exponentially. Check out his work with with Chet Atkins.

Mark Knofler does have a country connection. He asked Vince Gill to become a member of Dire Straits in the late 80's. Vince Gill did not accept the offer.
