mark knopfler & Emmy Lou Harris “all the Roadrunning”
from: all the roadrunning, 2006
“All the Roadrunning” is the centerpiece of the only collaboration between these two legendary performers. It uses the roots of some Irish melody to chronicle the world weariness of being a performer. At a higher level it fits into a song cycle made in response to the 9/11 tragedy. Ironic that given the expansive grip of such a international tragedy, that so few artists have chosen to address it. Though we extract single songs for you to experience on The Bop Shop, I would encourage you to listen to this record in its entirety given the electronic resources at our disposal.
