Perhaps All the Roadrunning, Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris's extraordinary new set of duets, can best be described by simply borrowing the name of the track that will surely be spinning at discerning radio stations any second now: This Is Us. All The Roadrunning is not a high-concept, elaborately planned superstar summit, but a collection of intimate musical encounters recorded in the US over the last seven years, whenever these two already legendary artists could steal a few moments away from the demands of their hectic careers. This long-range collaboration culminated in 2005 with a solid week in the studio, where they cut more tracks and decided upon a final line-up before Mark took everything back home with him to mix in London. The result is far more than just a miracle of scheduling: it sounds like destiny, a record they were meant to make.

Despite the time and distance between recording dates, All the Roadrunning comes across as a seamless work, with a comfortable, old-school-session feel about it. Mark shared production chores with engineer-mixer Chuck Ainlay, who's manned the boards for Dire Straits (On Every Street) and all of Knopfler's solo recordings. They recruited a lineup of familiar players and old friends like guitarist Richard Bennett and Dire Straits keyboardist Guy Fletcher to join them, many of whom were familiar faces from Mark and Emmylou's own records. The arrangements they fashioned were evocative and understated, featuring plenty of Mark's signature guitar work while focusing the spotlight on those two instantly recognizable voices. Listen to Mark and Emmylou, with his voice slightly above hers as she essays the main melody on any one of these numbers, and you'll swear they must have been harmonizing like this for a lifetime. The material they brought to the studio, original songs written by each of them, matches the beauty of the vocals. They're often wistful, worldly-wise stories of resilient characters who have lived more than a little but remain determined to carry on. They have the heart-tugging appeal and durability of great country ballads while avoiding obvious sentimentality or nostalgia. These songs are going to be around for a while.
