I like this
and I'd like to hear a slightly less beat-y cover by Sophie Zelmani. Sophie... are you reading this comment?

It's a timeless album with great stories, the excellent musicianship you expect from MK and beautifully honest production. This is a great song, but not even among the best on the album, IMO. Live, MK is even better. "Song for Sonny Liston" from this album absolutely smokes live even when it's just MK on vocals and guitar, acoustic bass and brushed drums.
Even better, Shangri-La is available on SACD with the standard stereo mix in super hi-fidelity and a really fun 5.1 surround mix. HIGHLY recommended.

Dire Straits didn't really catch on for me, no matter how much I heard them. But Knopfler's post Straits work is brilliant as far as I am concerned. Just really, really good stuff.

"Amazing Mark. This song has an insight that only a South American would comprehend. He obviously learned whilst performing in Brazil. He really doesn't waste time! Well done." ioster3 |

Mark Knopfler interview, BBC
The complete interveiw from Parkinson 2000.
Nice and fun. Mark play small parts from three songs; Baloney again, Romeo and Juliet and Money for nothing.

A little too low key for me, but it's still Knopler.
By the way, I am guessing the song alludes to Butch & the Kid... southern Bolivia & Paraguay.

¡¡Viva Parguay!! I´m from Argentina, I think that Paraguay is a great country and Chilavert is the best goal keeper I´ve ever seen. |

Am I crazy or is there a hint of Johnny Cash in here? In any case, I liked this enough to login specifically to rate it.

Context. Relativity. Everything has merit, even if it's only when considered in context, relative to various factors. Muhammad Ali isn't knocking out people in the ring anymore, but he's still relevant and important in what he's doing nowadays. |
