Mark Knopfler & James Taylor

Eagles -- Take It Easy

James Taylor & JD Souther -- Her Town Too

CCR -- Born on the Bayou

Simon & Garfunkel -- The Boxer

Stevie Wonder -- Living for the City

Knopfer is brilliant, having written this after reading Pynchon, which for a Brit (or anybody) is, more than impressive. Taylor, on the other hand . . . let's just say that of all the great artists who gave poor Jimmy a break, Knopfler came closer than Carole King, Joni Mitchell, or Elvis Costello ever did to getting his money's worth. Taylor sings an almost plausible Mason in his first verse, despite pronouncing "society" more in the Philly way than the Bristol way, then falls apart. The only thing Taylor ever touched that I would touch myself. If not for the great Knopfler.
