Álbum Neck and Neck de Mark Knopfler - Canciones
Neck and Neck
Reseña
Un encuentro cumbre entre dos leyendas de la guitarra define este álbum, una pieza esencial en la discografía de Mark Knopfler. "Neck and Neck", su colaboración de 1990 con el maestro del country y el fingerpicking, Chet Atkins, es una celebración de la música, la amistad y el virtuosismo. Por lo tanto, es un disco que transmite una alegría y una complicidad contagiosas.
A lo largo del álbum, ambos guitarristas dialogan con sus instrumentos, intercambiando solos, armonías y bromas musicales con una fluidez asombrosa. De hecho, más que una competición, el disco es una conversación entre dos maestros que se admiran mutuamente. El repertorio se compone de clásicos del country y algunas composiciones nuevas, todo ello impregnado de un humor y una calidez deliciosos.
El álbum, además, fue un éxito de crítica y público, y ganó varios premios Grammy. En resumen, "Neck and Neck" es una joya atemporal, un trabajo que no solo deleitará a los amantes de la guitarra, sino a cualquiera que aprecie la música hecha con talento, elegancia y, sobre todo, desde el corazón.

[X]letra de Poor Boy Blues
Do I want you? Yes I do
Do I need you? Baby you know it's true
But I ain't got nothin' that you can use
So I'm sittin' on my own here, with these poor boy blues
One day, baby, you will see
You're gonna give all your love to me
I'm the one, babe, that you're gonna choose
But in the meantime, I got these poor boy blues
Pick it son, pick it nice
Things won't always be the same
Someday soon, everything will change
You'll tell your mama her baby's got good news
But until then, well, I got these poor boy blues
But until then, well, I got these poor boy blues - Sweet Dreams 3:24

[X]letra de Just One Time
If I could see you just one time
Oh how it'd ease my troubled mind
If I could hold you just one time
And then pretend that you're still mine
Oh, how I miss you so
Oh I need you so
I'd give this heart of mine
If I could see you just one time
Lips that used to thrill me so
They now thrill someone else I know
Gone is the love that once was mine
Wish I could see you just one time
Oh, how I miss you so
Oh I need you so
I'd give this heart of mine
If I could see you just one time
Wish I could relive just one time
Turn back the pages and there I'd find
That same old love that once was mine
Wish I could see you just one time
Oh, how I miss you so
Oh I need you so
I'd give this heart of mine
If I could see you just one timeComposición: Don Gibson - So Soft, Your Goodbye 3:16
Composición: Randy Goodrum - Yakety AxeVer letra 3:24
[X]letra de Yakety Axe
Poverty stricken but still I'm a-stickin' to the things I know to be facts
One day it's feathers and the next day chicken while I'm pickin' my yakety axe
Ev'rybody says that I never will get far, keepin' out of work by pickin' this guitar
Livin' on a shoestring, puttin' off things like a shave and a haircut
Money don't matter as long as I scatter a little bit of happiness around
If people keep a grinnin' I figure I'm a winnin' my good old yakety sound
City folks go around turnin' up their noses and countin' their greenbacks and smellin' their roses
But I wouldn't trade my yakety axe, even for a T-bone
I'm confessin' I never took a lesson, all my notes are a matter of guessin'
Hopin' they'll come out in some kinda manner that'll make the yakety sound
So if you're in the mood and your feet start tappin'
And you feel laid back and your hands start clappin'
Then I'll have done what I wanted to from way back
You're diggin' my yakety axeLetras: Merle Travis - Tears 3:54
Composición: Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli - Tahitian Skies 3:18
Composición: Ray Flacke - I'll See You in My Dreams 2:59
