Agree on Real Live Roadrunning, but please watch the dvd first - Great live performance with the band on fire on a several cuts ( try Speedway to Nazareth). Emmylou's Red Dirt Girl is extraordinary. Worth watching once, then the cd can be played till your hearts content. In my top 10 concert films/live cd's.
The Knopfler/Crowell/Harris connection..
I've listened to "The Traveling Kind twice this weekend. Then, I thought of "All the Roadrunning". Is this a fair comparison?
With "ATRR", Harris is mostly a back-up singer, as opposed to "TTK" in which she plays an equal musical role.
So, upon listening, one way works much better than the other, IMO. "ATRR" is sonically superior. Also, everything about it just has a natural flow and provided the end user an experience that would be hard to top. "TTK" is an enjoyable record, and these two artists have worked together many times before, yet, it doesn't have the magic that is so laid bare for us to hear. Any thoughts?
