“All The Roadrunning” by Mark Knopfler And Emmylou Harris

"All the Roadrunning" is the song that gave Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris's 2006 duet album its name, though it got out ahead of the record: it first appeared as a new track on the compilation Private Investigations the year before, and as a single it reached number 8 in the UK.

The pairing was no whim. The British singer, songwriter and guitarist and the American singer-songwriter had been working together for a long time, cutting the album's songs over seven years while letting very little slip about the project, and Knopfler produced the album with Chuck Ainlay. The tour that followed carried the same name, and a live album, Real Live Roadrunning, came out after it.
