Mark Knopfler music

Get Lucky

I have been a Dire Straits fan from the beginning in 1979, and it continued into Mark Knopfler's solo work. I used to make comparisons with Mark's solo efforts versus the Dire Straits efforts. But I stopped doing that when "Kill To Get Crimson" came out. I now make comparisons from Mark's early efforts to his work now. I can understand his comments that "as I get older , I get more grouchy". But he still makes sweet music. And that includes "Get Lucky". He continues to put out solid material, and "You Can't Beat the House" and "Cleaning My Gun" are clear examples of songs the average listener will pass by.

Titles:
    1. Border Reiver
    2. Hard Shoulder
    3. You Can't Beat The House
    4. Before Gas And TV
    5. Monteleone
    6. Cleaning My Gun
    7. The Car Was The One
    8. Remembrance Day
    9. Get Lucky
    10. So Far From The Clyde
    11. Piper To The End

All the Roadrunning

Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler, two great people that sound great together. If you have ever been a fan of either one of these people, this cd will make you a fan of both.

Mark Knopfler wrote most of the songs for this cd. Emmylou wrote two. Every cut is a winner. Mark is up to his usual standards of exelence on both the lyrics and the music. Emmylou Harris's songs are also beyond reproach.

For whatever reason you pick up this cd, it will leave you looking for more by each of these artists.

Titles:
    1. Beachcombing
    2. I Dug Up A Diamond
    3. This Is Us
    4. Red Staggerwing
