Actually, it&#8217;s not out yet, we&#8217;ll have to wait until September 14th &#8211; but this ain&#8217;t long. You can listen to the title song of the album <a href=\"http:\/\/www.markknopfler.com\/\">Get Lucky on the record companies website. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>What can be said? Knopfler solo is not Dire Straits (my impression: the keyboarder <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alan_Clark_(keyboardist)\">Alan Clark<\/a> and bass-player <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnillsley.com\/ \">John Illsley<\/a> are extremely important). Therefore, it is no wonder that Knopflers extraordinary guitar skills are not present in the title song. Nevertheless, it is a charming song and to me a &#8220;mind-drifter&#8221;. I can easily imagine using this music as a soundtrack during observing sessions. I enjoy the scottish flavor of the song. Let&#8217;s wait and see what the entire album will bring. I expect a sloowww album (is Knopfler scottish or swiss?) but with interesting stuff on it. <em>Kill to get Crimson<\/em> was like that. It had great soundspheres, good guitar work and nice dynamics. So why sould it be any different here? Knopfler will turn 60 next wednesday &#8211; I will turn 37 on the very same day \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Btw.: for those interested in Dire Straits: more or less official rumors say that there is a 5.1 DVD of Alchemy in the pipeline. Now, that will be something!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, here it is: a new album by Mark Knopfler.
