   Summary: Lovely Duets
This is a nearly perfect collection of songs. Each cut id elegant and spare, with Harris' and Knopfler's wonderful voices supported by tasteful arrangements. It is a wonderful "driving late at night and thinking" CD. My only criticism: I would have liked a cut or two that pushed the tempo and their voices a bit. The cuts all have a similar sound and feel and tend to blend and (I think) lose some of their power. That being said, it is a lovely piece of work that will have broad, cross-market appeal.

   Summary: The Prince meets the Princess
What else but sweet, beautful and soulful music could come from these 2 great singer songwriters. The album is terrific and the concert was amazing. Get the DVD as well.

   Summary: Beautiful Album of singable, listenable and intelligent songs
I agree 100% with several other reviewers about the official Amazon.com review - ignore it!! This is a lovely album, full of beautiful songs, with a very engaging mixture of 'story' or relationship subjects counterpointed with Knopfler's very recognizable guitar playing. Certain of the songs are achingly beautiful - for example, I find the first (Beachcombing) that way, not that its a slow song, it bounces along quietly with Knopfler's guitar gently adding a twist to the line. Others, like 'Rollin' On', are straight melancholy - a great song for Harris's voice. They are all good of course.

The songs are all intelligent, covering a wide range of subjects, personas, speeds and moods - several remind me on John Prine (e.g. 'Hello in There') - songs that seem very authentic, speaking of what seems like lifelike experiences.

Its a great match - I have always loved Knopfler's work, both in Dire Straits and afterwards, and for decades have followed Emmylou Harris's career from her early CD's to the latest. While I have never really liked country music in general, Emmylou's style, songs and approach has engaged me from the very first listen. Her high, slightly edgy voice, with Knopfler's low, gruffer one, works really well.

A great listen...a CD with a CD's worth of good tunes and words.
