Lo and behold, a DS song follows Lucinda Williams in this rotation. Bill must've heard what I heard.....  |

This is actually one of my favorite songs of Dire Straits, thanks Bill for bringing this guitar sounds back from my childhood!

Only one problem with that cut: it's about 15 minutes too short.

And how about Pick Withers, the best drummer Knopfler ever played with! The man really had a feel for great rhythms and very tastful fill-in's!
Anyway, still a 9!

Listening to the words, with the music as a backdrop, pulls me into whatever world a particular song encompasses. To me, it's all about the vision painted by the artist - Dire Straits has always been incredible at painting a worldscape in which we listeners are included. How we respond - how we view what we're given - is left up to us. I sorta love that about Dire Straits.
Well, and their music is pretty cool, too. Miss you Cynaera...love this song... we be dancing... |

For me, Indelibly connected with the cold desert of NW New Mexico. In late-1978 I had taken my first job out of college in Farmington. The first Dire Straits album and the Talking Heads More Songs About... were constantly on my turntable and in my car's cassette deck on the drive to work through the desert. I was only there 4 months, but anytime these songs come on I am taken back to those desert sunrises.

Well, and their music is pretty cool, too. That is/was the wonder of DS and Mark Knopfler. He could take a simple picture or everyday event (i.e. In the Gallery) and weave a story around it that makes you feel like you are there and living it. |

This picks up where the arpeggios of the Sultans left off although it's not the subsequent song on the album. Hmm, come to think of it, replace "picks up" with "rehashes".

Indeed, the clean and edgy sound that Mark got out of his strat back in the day was really groundbreaking... What a guy!  |
