I think this is the case. ...And the song is Expresso Love not Espresso Love. Read the song list on the CD.

What a nice (most interesting) follow up to "Fade Out". Thanks Bill!

I was a huge DS fan. When they released their first LP, there was nothing like them out there. I think this and their double live LP are their best.

Oh for god's sake.
And I wish you were old enough top be able to talk with any authority about when DS first hit the scene. There wasn't anything like it. which is why it was such a hit.
Then you'd be old enough to see how they and Knoppfler have progressed and developed over the years.
But you're not. |

Saw Dire Straits in 1979 in Charlotte, NC.
Great show. Love Mark and his guitar style. This song takes me back to Chapel Hill and being a newlywed. |

I always liked the way he casually tosses that "walk in the Wild West End" bit into this one. That's a great track too.

Nice setup. You were waiting to unleash that bit on an unsuspecting Dire Straits fan/schmuck. I didn't have a fighting chance. ;) |

Sounds more like "Lady Writer" to me.

Touche.
But I do like Dire Straits and love this album.
Lots of artists with longevity begin to sound the same on some of their songs, which, I think, is a fair criticism but not necessarily a significant one. I think it comes with the territory. For instance, many say that REM keeps repeating the same song. Can't be unique each and every time. |
