I finally got around to picking this one up. After one listen, it's a keeper.

*Almost* every album by Dire Straits. Not much of his solo stuff short of a few live shows.

If you can find it, get the Knophler with Emy Lou Harris.

This album reminds me in some aspects of "Brothers In Arms," which is one of my very favorite albums of all time. I've had probably two cassette copies and two or three cd copies of it at one time or another over the last 20 years. But this album (yes, I said album
) also reminds me a little of the work that Mark Knopfler did on the Princess Bride soundtrack...

Yeah it's kinda laid back but that's not uncommon for Knopfler.
