Apparently they're touring this! Just found out they're both gonna be at the Greek in Berkeley on Friday, June 30.

I've listened to the first half so far and I really like it. Sounds a lot like a Mark Knopfler solo cd to me (which is good), with Emmylou's beautiful voice alongside Mark's.

... And my rush to judgement opinion is that I really like it. They compliment eachother so well. It's a very simple album. A couple of songs might need to grow on me, but most already get me in a good mood.

Being a pretty big Knopfler/Dire Straits & Emmylou Harris fan, I really like this one. Pick it up if you get the chance.

Emmylou is beautiful in all ways possible; gray hair, appearance, voice, et al...

Buy it and turn it up

My ultramini-review(* marks my favorites)...

*1)Beachcombing:smooth beat and lyrics
*2)I Dug Up A Diamond: good stuff
*3)This Is Us: faster paced love diddy
*4)Red Staggerwing:even faster paced funny love diddy
**5)Rollin' On:my favorite so far... Reminds me of a song from Peter Rowan's "Reggaebilly"
6)Love and Happiness:Slow song written by Emmylou
7)Right Now:Very Dire Straits'ish
8)Donkeytown:pretty boring at 1st listen
*9)Belle Star:good cowboy tune
10)Beyond My Wildest Dreams:also boring at 1st listen
*11)All The Roadrunning:Another one of my favorites, pulls the CD together
*12)If This Is Goodbye:A 911 inspired song sung through the viewpoint of the thousands who left messages on their loved ones answering machines..in the towers and on the planes. Somber and touching.
