	Local Hero Audiophile - New - MFSL 1-505 Sealed 2022 180gm Special Numbered Edition Audiophile Reissue. "Dire Straits Leader Mark Knopfler's Intricate, Introspective Finger-Picked Guitar Stylings Make A Perfect Musical Complement To The Wistful Tone Of Bill Forsyth's Comedy Film, Local Hero. This Album Was Billed As A Knopfler Solo Album Rather Than An Original Soundtrack Album, With The Notation "Music ... For The Film." Knopfler Brings Along Dire Straits Associates Alan Clark (Keyboards) And John Illsley (Bass), Plus Session Aces Like Saxophonist Mike Brecker, Vibes Player Mike Mainieri, And Drummers Steve Jordan And Terry Williams. The Low-Key Music Picks Up Traces Of Scottish Music, But Most Of It Just Sounds Like Dire Straits Doing Instrumentals, Especially The Recurring Theme, One Of Knopfler's More Memorable Melodies. Gerry Rafferty (Remember Him From "Baker Street"?) Sings The One Vocal Selection, "That's The Way It Always Starts"." AMG Review By William Ruhlmann. more

	Privateering New - LP - B0018920-01 Sealed, Out Of Print 2012 180gm 2LP Gatefold Original. Rolling Stone's Review States: "'Redbud Tree,' A Highlight Of Mark Knopfler's Eighth Solo Album, Could've Been Written 100 Years Ago. But Given Our Ecocrisis, This Tree-Hugging Folk Gem, Embossed With A Shimmering Fingerpicked Strat, Feels Cannily Modern. Knopfler's Sueded Voice Has Changed Little Since His 1980s Heyday, And His Elegant Electric-Guitar Work Sounds Better Than Ever. The 20 Songs, Most Top-Shelf, Are A Textbook Of Folk Styles, From Irish Ballads ("Kingdom Of Gold") And Country-Flavored Weepers ("Seattle") To Slide-Driven Blues ("Don't Forget Your Hat") And Tin Pan Alley Nostalgia ("Radio City Serenade"). On The Title Track, He Shows Off His Acoustic Playing, A Folk-Rock Vet Returning To The Source." more

	Shangri-La New - LP - 9867262 Sealed, Out Of Print, 2004 UK Tri-Fold 2LP. Mark Knopfler's Fourth Solo Release And His First Since Breaking His Collarbone, Shoulder, And Seven Ribs In A Motorcycle Crash In March 2003, Finds The Eternally Laid-Back Dire Straits Frontman In Familiar Territory. Instead Of Constructing A Song Cycle About His Brush With Mortality — The Wry "Don't Crash The Ambulance" Aside — He Uses His Warm Baritone And Effortless Guitar Work To Ruminate On Everything From The Plight Of The Modern Fisherman — The Beautiful And Rustic "Trawlerman's Song" — To The Entrepreneurial Skills Of Mcdonald's Founder Ray Kroc "Boom, Like That". Knopfler Has More Or Less Abandoned The British Folk And Celtic-Influenced Pop That Began To Surface On His Previous Two Recordings, Opting Instead For A Full-Blown Yet Quiet And Considerate Collection Of Country-Folk Ballads And Bluesy, Midtempo Dirges That Revel In Their Uncharacteristic Sparseness — One Of The Better Examples Of The Latter Is The Gutsy, Backwoods Boxing Tale "Song For Sonny Liston." Knopfler Spent Seven Months Away From The Guitar In Physiotherapy, But His Melancholic Slow-Burn Tone Is As Peat-Smoked As Ever, And His Penchant For Wrapping Americana-Gothic Folk Around Subjects That Are Uniquely English — Colliers, Cockneys, The One-Armed Bandit Man Who Meets His Maker In The Atmospheric Opener, "5:15 A.M." — Is Evident Throughout. more

	Tracker New - LP - 4716982 Factory Sealed 2015 2LP 180gm HQ Gatefold. “Scaled Smaller Than 2012's Double-Album Privateering, Tracker Also Feels Suitably Subtle, Easing Its Way Into Being Instead Of Announcing Itself With A Thunder. Such Understatement Is Typical Of Mark Knopfler, Particularly In The Third Act Of His Career. When He Left Dire Straits Behind, He Also Left Behind Any Semblance Of Playing For The Cheap Seats In An Arena, But Tracker Feels Quieter Than His New Millennial Norm. Some Of This Is Due To The Undercurrent Of Reflection Tugging At The Record's Momentum. Knopfler Isn't Pining For The Past But He Is Looking Back, Sometimes Wistfully, Sometimes With A Resigned Smile, And He Appropriately Draws Upon Sounds That He's Long Loved. Usually, This Means Some Variation Of Pub Rock -- The Languid Ballad "River Towns," The Lazy Shuffle "Skydiver," The Two-Chord Groove Of "Broken Bones" -- But This Is Merely The Foundation From Which Knopfler Threads In A Fair Amount Of Olde British Folk And Other Roots Digressions. This Delicate Melancholy Complements Echoes Of Older Knopfler Songs -- Significant Stretches Of The Record Are Reminiscent Of The Moodier Aspects Of Brothers In Arms, While "Beryl" Has Just A Bit Of The "Sultans Of Swing" Bounce -- And This Skillful Interweaving Of Knopfler's Personal Past Helps Give Tracker A Nicely Gentle Resonance.” Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG. more
