Mark Knopfler

[Spitfire]

It ain't vintage - and then again.
I've just bought Mark Knopflers latest album: Kill to get crimson.
What a fantastic, wellbalanced and absolutely beautifull album.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
I can only recommend it to you all.
Light the fireplace, pour a drink and listen. And listen again...

No - never. I know he's made a lot of filmmusic - but never heard this one. Great! Another one for the got-to-buy-list!
Thanks for sharing.

sound tracks

I bought the one from Local Hero years ago then as a CD two years ago.
Love his sound tracks, I use the music in slide shows from motorcycle adventures
Local Hero what a film got me wanting to move to a small town on the coast of the north sea, maybe some day

Romeo and Juliet is my favorite song by him. Makes me tear up a bit. I heard the Killers redid it, but I haven't heard their version. I also enjoy the Indigo Girls version as well.

You want irony?

Hearing his Mason-Dixon Line on the local radio just as you start to skirt the actual markers. In the fog.

Me too! It just finally came out on DVD in the US and I'm tempted to buy it, but I'm almost afraid to watch it again. Troubling stuff.

Mark is simply one of the small handful of utterly superb pickers out there.

I never forget when I heard Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe - the very first time.
Just like I never forget when I heard The Sultans of Swing the very first time. There are very few musicians with an impact like that.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Me too- I'm all for trouble- trouble, with a capital F.

Mark is simply one of the small handful of utterly superb pickers out there.

The thing that amazes me so much about him is how CLEAN he plays. No hiding behind lots of processing or effects. I've heard he rarely plays with a pick. A practice I've adopted lately with pleasing results.
