The great Australian guitar fingerpicker Tommy Emmanuel has stated on Facebook that he has recently recorded with Mark at British Grove Road Studios, I think this is for a duet album Tommy is making as he has posted about other players he has been working with. Tommy also made a duet album with Chet Atkins. |

I am suprised it hasn't happened sooner, Mark clearly knows about Tommy, and Tommy has made no secret about his love for Mark. |

Several someones posted a video which has been on the net since May of Tommy doing a song by Mark, as well as a different posting of the lyrics. Here they are. You don't wanna get you one of those That old car would like to break your heart But she too far gone, to even start Take it for one who knows You don't wanna get you one of those She's always been as mean as she appears Ain't done no Rock and Roll in 4 years They should put it in a 'Crusher!' I suppose You don't wanna get you one of those Leave her over there behind the barn Where , she’ll be 'out of the way!' She's got Chassis rot The gear box shot! She's had her day It's all over for that old heap She needs a whole lot of more than beauty sleep If you want to get you one that goes You don't wanna get you one of those Guitar solo Leave her over there behind the barn Where, she’ll be 'out of the way!' She's got Chassis rot The gear box shot! She's had her day It's all over for that old heap She needs a whole lot of more than beauty sleep If you want to get you one that goes You don't wanna get you one of those You Don't Wanna Get You One Of Those :rockon: |

Thanks for that Linda, that is very interesting, it does have an MK feel to it, but now I wonder if that is a song Mark gave to Tommy or is it one they have played together for Mark's album? |

Unfortunately, there is no indication about the song, whether he gave it to Tommy or it was on Mark's album tracks. The way it appeared on the video, I'm inclined to think it was more likely given to Tommy, but then, what do I know? :unsure: |

Yes, should be interesting to find out. I think it is a song Mark has given to Tommy for his album, and he and Mark play on it together. |

Tommy has announced his new duets album, Accomplice One is to be released in Friday, January 19th 2018, and amongst the 16 tracks is his duet with Mark, a song written by Mark called You Don't Want To Get One Of Those. Can't wait :rockon: |

Here is a little quote from Tommy Emmanuel about his duet with Mark: Tommy Emmanuel points out that his duet with Knopfler was inspired by their mutual love of country music guitar great Chet Atkins. “This song that Mark wrote captured Chet’s sense of humour so well and I had the time of my life in the studio with him conjuring ‘The Master’ as we laid it down,” Tommy recalls |

Thanks for the update Linda. what is interesting is the comment about three film projects? really? that is news, we know he is working on the Local Hero musical, and his solo album, but 3 film scores!!!!!! if that is true, then it is no wonder Mark couldn't attend the RRHOF, he must be working all hours right now. Even if one of the "film projects" is the Local Hero musical, that still could mean 2 film projects!! |
