To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the collaboration album between Dire Straits� Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris, All The Roadrunning, is reissued on 2LP smoky marble vinyl as part of Record Store Day 2026.
A treasure trove of duets recorded over a period of seven years, All The Roadrunning, was originally released in 2006 and was a top ten hit in the UK, and a number 1 in multiple European countries.  The album includes a title track that was released as a single and reached number 8 in the UK charts, as well as singles �This Is Us� and �Beachcombing�.
Speaking at the time, Knopfler, who first met Harris on a Chet Atkins TV special, said �Emmylou�s respect and affection for the players and the music struck me then and still does. In my writing, I�d been dealing a fair bit with the male/female shape. With that amazing voice, Emmylou, now more than ever, seems to capture a kind of universal female experience, something that speaks to all ages. After our first session and then making a couple of duets for a Hank Williams tribute, I thought we should go on recording, and thankfully Emmylou felt the same.�
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.�
Neil McCormick's review of the album for the Telegraph in the UK described it as �one of the best albums of both their careers�.
