Dire Straits - Concert: Dortmund (3rd of 3) 1991 (improved version)

AMIT TV (0123a) MARK KNOPFLER NEW RECORD RELEASE - SET FOR MARCH 16TH 2015….. MARCH 17TH U.S.A. The follow-up to 2012’s Europe-wide top ten set ‘Privateering,’ it was recorded as usual at the celebrated singer-guitarist’s British Grove Studios in west London, and produced by Knopfler with his long-time collaborator Guy Fletcher. Subject matter on the record is drawn from characters and situations, both real life and imagined, in Knopfler’s own experiences. ‘Basil’ is inspired by the poet Basil Bunting, whom Mark encountered when he was a teenage copy boy working on the Newcastle Evening Chronicle, and ‘Beryl’ is about the Liverpudlian writer Beryl Bainbridge. In comments revealed first today, Knopfler explains the title of the album by saying: “You’re involved in tracking down subject matter, tracking down an idea, investigating the whole thing. Sometimes you’re not exactly sure what it is you’re tracking, and you find out as you’re circling it, and getting closer to it. That’s part of the thrill.” Of Ruth Moody, he says: “I came across Ruth through hearing her singing with the Wailin’ Jennys. They always sounded great, and I saw Ruth singing on ‘The Transatlantic Sessions.’ Then I realised that, of course, she was making her own records, and that they were beautiful. There’s just something celestial about her voice.” The track listing 01. Laughs and Jokes and Drinks and Smokes 02. Basil 03. River Towns 04. Skydiver 05. Mighty Man 06. Broken Bones 07.
