Mark used to play a strat thru a soldano amp getting such a hair raising sound, you know the one, "Money for nothing", etc. shame he doesnt play like that anymore, its just all Ralph McTell middle of the road stuff nowadays. Nothing good since Local Hero and Neck and Neck.

You know, watching the Grammy's over the past few years it's occurred to me that actually knowing how to play a musical instrument or even sing well is not necessarily a prerequisite for fame and fortune in the "music" business - alas. On the other hand, at the other end of the talent and skill spectrum is Mark Knopfler.

Anybody out there thinks that Mark Knopfler has been listening to Greg Brown? |

Every time I hear this song, my spirits rise ever so slightly. Time to give this a 6.

I wants me a truffle dog. Met a truffle pig once, but that doesn't really count.

I miss the likes of Harry Chapin who could really tell stories. It's nice that there are some artists out there still telling stories. |

I love this song. There are a handful of songs by Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits that are absolutely beautiful - and the rest
are just OK. That said, I could listen to the guy play his guitar all day.

He's skilled, he's a good singer, he makes good choices about what to sing. And he bores me almost to tears. *sigh* Pardon me.

Beginning is very similar to Jorma Kaukoen "I Am The Light Of The World" on the Quah album.

The thing I really like about Knopfler is as he ages he seems to embrace his Scottish heritage even more, putting his magical touch on the traditional folksongs. I can't wait for his new album.

Yeah, seriously, Knopfler/Dire Straits every single day... ain't it great?!??!?! Oh wait, you were complaining... WTF? Come on, there's tons of radio stations out there that go months and years without any Knopfler/Dire Straits at all. Bill's just trying to provide equal time! :-)
Seriously! |
