I don't know wether I should get excited about it or it's another "Mark can't say no" type of thing? Sounds not so big to me anyway.

Thanks for the news, also!

Everyone went to the studio in Nashville to play in the record except Knopfler who sent the track from London...

Well done Mark!

If I want MK playing in my record I would be disappointed if he does it "by mail", I would try to fly to London myself and at least say Hi to him instead of just a FedEx...

Mark doesn't know David Crosby either, but David was over the moon with Mark's contribution to his song!!

Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Sending in a rhythm  (!) track from London is hardly a collaboration that deserves very much attention. Just good for some name-dropping action, that's all.

Spot on, LE, I would not even bother to listen to it, I promise.

MK's collaboration with David Crosby was a perfect "Mark can't say no" situation, where you have a not-so-good song recorded over the Internet by a stranger for a stranger purely for name-dropping reasons. But the funniest thing is that when I heard it for the first time, I rejected listening it from the very first second and immediately stated that the song is not-so-good.

And people started yelling at me like "IT'S DAVID CROSBY, how it can't be good"? But I said — I don't care it's David Crosby or Henri Mancini, if song is not-so-good, it's not-so-good. And after a while same people started telling me "Yeah, I never listened that song again since then". People are people...

With all that being said, Mark also did a virtual session for "17 Hills" song and it was good. Also, "What A Wonderful World" was great, but it's very hard to ruin that one actually, it's one of the best songs human kind came up with. So it all depends on song hence "Song is King" as Mark would say.

That's music, what one person thinks is great, someone else will have the opposite view. But I don't blame Mark for not getting on a flight for however many hours, just to play on one song, when the technology allows for him to stay in his state of the art studio and play the track. For all we know they may have suggested sending Mark the track anyway, so it may not have been his decision!!

This dude is from the Black Keys and if I'm not mistaken his band is heavily influenced by DS - I think they've been mentioned a few times on Guy's forum. If that's the case it's very nice of Mark to contribute.

I never get remotely excited by a collaboration these days.  In the old days it used to be an event, but when they become so frequent that he just mails them in then it's not worth it.  In saying that, that's how All the Roadrunning was recorded.

Actually All the road running was recorded during the RPD sessions, and some of them in special sesssions for it in Nashville

Many musical collaboration are done that way. ITILYTM for  The Jeff Healey Band was one of these "remote".
