This is exactly the type of music that should be in the charts. I dislike the charts so much, my friends think I'm joking when I say I don't even know their names. (If I was in my 40s, they'd expect it, but not at 14...) My dad got me even more familiar with Mark Knopfler, after I bought a CD of the Dire Straits. I'm shocked at how shops get away with selling Justin Beiber or whatever for £20, but Mark Knopfler and great musicians for £3...! Doesn't make sense.
What a great duo. They should be required to do an album a year from now until forever. Emmy Lou could be the most beautiful woman on earth. She gets more lovely every year.
I don't think it's anything to do with themm but a tribute to the guys that travel around the country, riding the "wall of death". Saw it years ago, where they ride a motorbike very fast round and round in what looks like a giant vertical tube. Scary stuff. But just another example of Knopfler's ability to find great subjects for songs.
I love Mark Knopfler's voice. It is Earthbound and honest. His guitar strikes an emotional tone with me and seems effortless.
Emmylou is an Angel and her voice is heavenly. Her guitar (in this song) is better than Knopflers because it is more musically efficient. It is not better, but seems to cover the emotions more for me.

It's got a country-western, American feel to it, with an Irish sea-shanty sound! The again, maybe I've got a complete tin ear. Beautiful.

thats exactly where bluegrass and country music of the west came from- irish and english country songs, balllots and sea faring sailor songs :)

The song was meant for them and they were meant for the song. A perfect juxtaposition. It's on my top 101 "Road Songs."

I think he's drawing an analogy with a wall of death.

I sorta get that, but why does it go here?

I guess that when you're doing live performances it's a matter of being fully committed to the gig (fast and high). Do it properly or not at all.
