PRESS RELEASE: For
the past seven years, Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris have been quietly
compiling a treasure trove of duets. The result, All The Roadrunning,
will be released on Mercury Records on April 24th. In Emmylou’s words, “Making this album was a pure joy—being surrounded by extraordinary musicians and guided by one of the great artists of our time. Truly it is a gift for which I will always be grateful.” Knopfler says: “The song If this is Goodbye was inspired by something the novelist Ian McEwan wrote days after 9/11 about those mobile phone calls from the towers—the calls to say ‘I love you.’ It connects with the song This is Us, which is just the living continuation of that affirmation of love over barbarism and hatred—a celebration of ordinary lives lived with love in them, falling in love, getting married, having kids and digging out the photo album.” |
