All thr Roadrunning by Mark Knopfler & Emmy Lou Harris

description: I couldn't stop playing this cd when I got home tonight. There is just something soothing and comfortable about the songs on it. The first time I listened to it through my C-26 & MC-2505 I thought the preamp was going sour on me. It seemed like on one song the guitar was distorted. I plugged my cd player directly into the Yamaha M-50 I picked up and it sounded the same so it's the guitar I even switched to my dvd player and it sounded the same. I've never had a album by or with Emmy Lou Harris on it so I didn't know what to expect. Her vocals are crisp and clear and so is Knopfler's guitar playing. I hate to recommend something and have someone buy it and feel they wasted their money. So go preview it there if you can. I got it new through Amazon for 10.95 which is a little savings from the local scalpers who don't carry anything not mainstream hip hop or white noise.

description: May I offer this little bit of perspective? Reviewing a piece of music is a fuzzy proposition at best. All you are expected to do is provide your impression of the CD. People; I think, know that no one has the same taste and even your most trusted reviewer will deviate from your taste at times. So keep offering your reviews. It is easy for people to find a way to hear a little sample of the music if they like your review. Your job as reviewer is to point to some things you think are worth investigating. Then the people make up their own minds. Thats a nice piece of work that CD of Mark and Emmy; I think it is very worthwhile. Don't know about the distortion though.

description: Thanks for your input MB. I've listened to it again and I finally can verbalize some of it Her voice is well suited to his guitar style. They compliment one another. This is us is my favorite song so far. Their voices when they sing together took some getting used to. Usually you find people doing duets have voices that blend. Theirs do not to my ears. Not that they don't sound great it's just a different sound than I was used to.
