Hahaha!  That's my favorite line in this song — in fact I have a hard time remembering the real title.  Always just call it "the truffle dog song".

Lovely tune. Knopler plays and writes from the heart

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.

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 was just thinking this. It's a really nice song with no angst, just a nice story. 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.

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.

MK is my musical hero, but these days I find myself almost wishing his pet goldfish would die or his dog would run away or something, because his music these days is too complacent for me. I hate to take the side of the argument that making art requires suffering, but I'd be pleased if he'd bring back a little more drama in his music, fwiw.

 
Funny, I feel the same way about Tori Amos. But, I respect her genius, however it comes out and whatever she is willing to share. We can't expect 2 decades of tortured melody and lyrics, but I know what you mean!

I'd definitely recommend this CD - very thoughtful, at times wistful, every track telling a story, and not a duff track to be heard. There's  considerable Scottish influence on the music, such as the uillean pipes on this song, and some of the songs are about Scottish themes, such as the decline of shipbuilding on the Clyde. 7 from the Albaphile Nottingham jury for this song, a 9 for the CD.
