Mark Knopfler & James Taylor


You know that feeling you get when certain songs play. Songs like Wichita Lineman, White Bird, Nights in White Satin, etc.

There’s another one that’s about the Mason Dixon line of all things. It ‘gets’ me every time.

Love many of the above mentioned and have seen Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler solo several times as I have Eagles when they’ve toured here and Fleetwood Mac. I have the box set of Sade’s albums but as yet have not see her live.

A few less commonly quoted these days Roberta Flack, Killing me softly. Don McLean, Vincent. Gerry Raffety, Baker Street.  American Tune actually more when Art Garfunkel singing it solo. 

One outside of those more commonly quoted that I also enjoy is All about Eve with the track Martha’s Harbour. Especially if you are fortunate to find a good vinyl pressing.
