Any Mark Knopfler Fans Out There?

I have nearly everything he's done, including Dire Straits, and Solo work, and projects like the one with Chet Atkins, and Knotting Hillbillys.

I'm only on the second listen of Privateering but like it a lot.

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.

Spin it again

I'm a huge fan of MK as a guitar player in general, and as a songwriter in Dire Straits, but have never warmed up to him as a solo artist. I'm sad to say I find his music boring compared to his work with DS.

His guitar work on DS albums is just "sick" to put it crudely. What he does on "Sultans of Swing" on "Alchemy," a double live album, is simply inhuman. Every time I listen to it, I shake my head in disbelief when the song ends. I must've listened to it hundreds of times over the years...:)

BIG TIME MK fan here. IMHO, Mark is one of the top guitar players alive today. All of his work is superb.
