The new album "Privateering" is out and excellent! Knopfler has been a favorite of mine since the Dire Straits days, and his voice seems to get more character as the years pass by. As always, the guitar work is impeccable, as is the recording quality. A double CD makes it a steal!
Agree I have all his albums including projects with other artist, this one can't be compare with the work we are adjust to! Maybe is our high expectations about someone so talented. but i hope that will grew up on me.
I am definitely a fan of Dire Straits. I like Shangri-La alot, but most often reach for DS: Love over Gold. I love LOG, sounds great on vinyl. It's refreshing to have bands like this who cared about sound quality. I will have to check out Making Movies again, I haven't listed to that one in a while.
hey guys don't give up so early!!! This isn't mk as the lead of Dire Straits! The music is supple and impeccable and it varies in textures and cultures [gallic,blues,country rock,celtic etc..]
Not enough quality there for a double lp [maybe extended single lp might have been better] yet this does extend the direction that his solo efforts have been geared towards.
