Good news, Phenomenal guitarist and songwriter. Looking forward to 2015 and this new album.

 

Can't wait.

 

Uncle Mark is still inspired

 

Is this dude prolific or what?
And it's quality, as well...

 

Saw this as well. This is great! Glad he still has the drive to create new music.

 

I'm in.

I've gotta say, though, Knopfler's records are drifting into Van Morrison territory lately, by which I mean they all kinda sound like the same album ... but it's a pretty good album ...

 

front cover

 

That's a very early preview if it's the actual cover but I really like it. Not original but tasteful!

 

I'm in. I really like his solo career. Better than most of his work with Dire Straits actually.

 

I'm in too ... I love Mark but would love to see him step outside of his own box and try something new & different.

 

It's the first time that Mark appears on the front cover of a studio album (including Dire Straits). Hardly identifiable though

 

Except Neck And Neck.

 

I'll be in for this as well.....the wife really likes him as well. Anyone heard the vinyl reissues of Kill to Get Crimson or Get Lucky yet? His CDs are usually on the pretty well recorded side though.

....and The Notting Hillbillies. I mean DS and MK solo albums

 

Nice cover.

 

I've been a fan of Dire Straits since the early days but only recently started listening to Mark's solo output and purchased Sailing to Philadelphia just this weekend. Thought that the last album, Privateering was excellent.
I'll be really looking forward to this new release.

 

Wow, nice to see someone releasing new music on a regular basis... I'm surprised but pleased. I'll buy this for sure!

 

Kill To Get Crimson and Get Lucky are outstanding on vinyl.

 

Wish he would tour here in the States. Would like to see him.

 

He's just too good

 

Probably gonna get tickets for the Ziggo Dome Amsterdam performance!

 

Excellent news!!

Mark is one artist who seems to get better with age!

 

What about "One Take Radio Sessions"?
