Mark Knopfler's new album - Privateering

[Sunny]

I've been listening to Mark Knopfler practically all my life and I've just borrowed his new album Privateering from my Dad. Just the thing for a listening to on a laid back Sunday afternoon


Miss You Blues




Go Love




Don’t Forget Your Hat

I've always been a big fan of Dire Straits, but haven't kept up with Mark's solo career at all....

But you are right Sunny those are perfect for a laid back afternoon when you are feelin' mellow.

 

[Sweaty]

Still need to listen to the whole album but it is good as usual...

A brilliant album and up to his usual standard. Just wish he would get Dire Straits back togther again to run in tandem with his solo work.

Wishful thinking I suppose

 

[Sweaty]

It is wishful thinking, I managed to catch them many years ago at a festival and I saw Mark in Manchester, I buy all his new albums. He is a great guitarist and a nice chap.

Do you know what happened to Mark's brother, David was his name as far as I can remember, who was in the original line up of DS and who left after the first couple of albums ? He seems to have vanished but I do remember he made at least one solo album, which I have got somewhere, where Mark made a guest appearence on a few songs.

I like Mark's Solo albums. I own them all

 

[Sweaty]

Will have to take a look and listen...any special ones?

My favourite albums of Mark's solo would be Golden Heart 1996 & Sailing To Philadelphia 2000. But his album with Chet Adkins Neck & Neck from 1990 is really good
