Too lazy to see if this is a repeat, but this is my favorite collaboration of many such ones at the time.

Neat bass line by either Dan Dugmore or Glen Worf—both great stylists.

Knopfler/Harris collaboration is desert-island worthy, IMHO 

Page / Plant is good, but this is great... 
 
Plant can't hold a candle to Knopfler, while Krause is a wee bit better than Harris.

 I'd like to hear Knopfler/Krause get together.

Emmylou and Knopfler ... like a great meal in Rome, or great cannabis in Amsterdam, hard to go wrong. 8

I have "All the Roadrunning" in my player currently - just finished listening to "Beachcombing" for the fifth time, and I can't wait to hear "This Is Us."  I LOVE this CD.

Great tune, great mood... great artists. Regarding voices, it's another story... but this deserves a big 8.

I was sorry I missed these two when they came through town. I bet that was a cool show.

Yes, sorry, I must have been in a bad mood when I wrote my original comment, as this song has grown on me somewhat. And no, it's not C&W, but deffo country, though at least there's no blasted steel-guitar-in-the-lap twanging or lachrymose melodrama. 7 from the repentant Nottingham jury, though it is still a little on the cheesy side...

Pleasant. This is the amount of Mark Knopler's voice I like. It's perfect the way it's used when he's supporting another vocalist. Great stuff.

I wouldn't really describe this as Country & Western, first of all.  And second, it's hardly saccharine.  It's entirely bittersweet.  "Feeling better than we did last night" is hardly the peak of joy.

It's this sort of saccharine cheesiness that really puts me off C&W, and just because Mark "young at heart" Knopfler's involved doesn't make it any less cheesy. Bleucch!

Great...

Saw them at the Ahoy in the Netherlands during the tour... I must be honest, Emmylou's singing isn't always in key but her voice is one of a kind...

This is one of my favourite tracks of this album...

I suppose angels sound like whatever you want them to sound like. My angels do not sound like Emmylou.

It's ok.
Emmylou is a bit piercing.
I'd prefer Allison too.

Love this album end to end. It's realistic about the "human condition," including aging and the passing of time, without being at all maudlin. If anything, joyful.

Real Live Roadrunning is a better listen.

I'd like to hear this with Alison Krauss instead of Emmylou . . . her voice pierces a bit

I saw Sarah Lee Guthrie (ie, Arlo-Woodie-Sarah Lee) play with her hubby recently and she also has an a great voice, I thought this was her when I first heard it.

What about the existential angst of 'You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd', or the heartbreak of a broken family in 'My Uncle Used to Love Me But She Died'? I won't even TRY to address 'Do-Wacka-Do': its layers are too dense to be analyzed in a brief synopsis.

Happy Listening!

mmm, that's funny I thought for sure those songs were on the Ragpickers Dream album, in fact I know they are. Those songs are a tribute to Roger Miller and they are a bit corney, but then so were Roger Millers songs... maybe you should check out the correct album to find out more info?

Two of the most talented performers of this or any era. Mr. Knopfler has a crisp distictive guitar style, and Ms. Harris' voice could bring emotional import to a grocery list. ANYTHING off this album starts at an 8 for me!

Emmylou fans,

Emmy sat in with Counting Crows at Telluride B-Grass this year and did a version of "Return of the Grievous Angle" Its available at tapers.org for ftp download. A must for all fans the lovely Emmylou Harris.

A true goosebump moment.
