For the most part typical Knopfler (closest in sound to both SHANGRI-LA and his last Dire Straits effort, ON EVERY STREET) with Emmylou adding vocals. Pretty evenly divided between duets or efforts where one supports the other on harmonies. Knopfler penned ten of the twelve songs, Harris the other two. A couple of the songs (Rolling On and Right Now) sound like they would have worked better if Knopfler had sang lead and not Emmylou as they don't suit her voice. There's also a couple of Springsteen deadringers...most notably Beyond My Wildest Dreams which could have fit in on Atlantic City. Of course, Knopfler and Springsteen have crossed lines ever since Making Movies so its to be expected.
