Title: GOD how I wanted to love this record...
Review: But the truth is they both sound like they're asleep. Knopfler's now-standard Nashville sound is great...for about two cuts. Then it's just a drone. Same with EHarris, same with Knopfler, who seems barely able to finish singing the words, like he's going to faceplant at any minute. Even he's not interested, and he wrote most of the material.These two should be able to generate some serious heat, but if this is them, I don't want to know them.Interestingly, there was a PBS Soundstage presentation of a concert of this, and while I found it interesting to watch (because I like seeing how Knopfler plays) I just found it so damn mechanical, just like this record. All the Roadrunning leaves the odometer going 'tick...tick...tick...'
