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?

I wouldn't compare them. TTK is about the poignancy of these two old friends who started out together reconnecting now near the end of their careers, to me anyway.

If you like ATR check out "Real Live Roadrunning".  I've got it in a cd/dvd set.  It's a really nice concert and Emmylou does a few of her own songs.  I like it better than ATR.
