News.... from https://www.mark-knopfler-news.co.uk/new-album-update/
No news then, we already knew it :)
Post by: jbaent on June 14, 2018, 02:23:07 PM
According to Guy, the title is already decided, but they announce it as "yet untitled"
They have a release date scheduled as long as the PCM and Universal team are working in parallel to have the release ready, and they have a deadline, but they announce "autumm"
We don't have anything new since Altamira release, and this new one is coming drop by drop...
Also, no words yet about the documentary dvd and the live tracker possible release... I'm starting to thing that the documentary won't be released separately as we thought but as a bonus in the new record...

Well it probably is all decided upon in the camp, but releasing these details publicly is a different story.

1. According to the "Mark’s as yet untitled new album is currently scheduled for completion in March 2018" news, seemed logical that the new record would be released in Autumm 2018
2. According to Guy, they were delayed mixing so we started to think about a Early 2019 or Spring 2019 release
With Guy telling in his forum that the delay in mixing didn't affect the schedule, we went to scenario number 1, so, it's great there is an official announcement backing our guess, really hoping for next announcement with real new information!
Post by: dmg on June 15, 2018, 11:48:58 AM
Well, with all the lot of talking we already had about this, I think we all more or less had imagined two scenarios:
1. According to the "Mark’s as yet untitled new album is currently scheduled for completion in March 2018" news, seemed logical that the new record would be released in Autumm 2018
2. According to Guy, they were delayed mixing so we started to think about a Early 2019 or Spring 2019 release

It isn't that far away - only a few months. We should be getting information any time, perhaps even a leak.
A few months will pass in no time at all.

Yes, that's true. That's the best part, release date is just 3/4 months so we would start getting information anyday!

Privateering we knew about release date, tracklist and cover already 4 months before release.
Tracker we knew about release date, tracklist 2 months before the release, but we knew the album title and tour announcement / ticket sales 6 months before album release.

My bet, the management had decided to give the information DROP by DROP. So, yesterday, a first piece telling the record will be released in Autumm, then another piece to say the album title, then another piece to tell the release date, then another piece for the tracklist, then another for the various formats, then another for which songs are in which formats, then another for the tour dates that will be splitted in so many pieces of announcements that is going to drive us mad!

Like when last tour, they had all dates announced, and "suddenly" they added two shows at the RAH, that they had already planned and hidden until very last time, as they had to fill first another concert in London, at the big big O2 Arena...
Marketing.

Still, guitar-wise I'm gonna to repeat my world record of putting out all the chords for the new album right on the release date.

Absolutely, but now I'm done with that :lol
But yeah, I got Tracker as early as one could possibly get it, strangely I'm not a type of a crazy fan like I was before and we're talking about 3 years.

I remember that Speedway and Junkie Doll and Wanderlust really really sounded like I expected them to sound after reading the titles. River Towns sounded totally not as expected but I loved it from the first listen.
So the moment of reading the titles for the first time is very interesting for me. It is pretty clear to me that MK's words and lyrics mean a lot more to me than his guitar skills. His guitar SOUND is unique, but an album with extraterrestial insane guitar licks but flat and poor lyrics would always disappoint me more than vice versa.
If this all makes sense anyway ..

As he has a great way with words, the pure sound of his song titles generally make my imagination go wild (or used to do so).. when then listening for the first time, it often was somewhat... disappointing for a few moments, alone for the reason that he dared to not make it sound like my expectation was. But very often he really astonishes me even more.. Before Gas & TV was just...WOW and when I heard it for the first time it was indeed double WOW...

Hahaha, I am Swiss, but feel sorry for poor Eddie and his team. Honestly, they would have deserved to win yesterday.
But on to more important things: My to-do list for this year is quite frightening, too, but a new MK album will ALWAYS be a top priority. How could it not? His work is just continuously TOO great to be ignored. I'm super excited about the fall 2018 release date, especially as now every album could well be his last. Let's hope not!

Perhaps he is playing on another album? Did he not play on TE album and on a track from the new album of the Killers a few months ago? Perhaps it is something like that what is going on right now :think
Well, maybe someone else asked for MK colaboration, or they are just working in small details of the musical and the release of the new record... they like to be enigmatic LOL

Yeah, especially Mark, who lived to 68 years, playing music and writing hundreds of songs in career spanning four decades only to watch a kid playing the "twiddly bits" from Sultans.
MK is just being extremely polite as always, I'm pretty sure that the amount of "oh no" factor is unbelievable inside him. To me it's worse than photos of people holding a leaning tower in Pisa.

I suppose MK has heard Sultans played to him a million times and would be more impressed / intrigued by someone playing a rarer track.
It shows a deeper interest in his work, whereas any old schmuck could whip out Sultans without being a particularly knowledgeable fan.
You can be a knowledgeable fan and still like and play Sultans though. It's not an audition. Fair enough though, I kind of get where you're going. Thanks. ;)

Why do people have to seemingly go out of their way to dislike a popular song and crave one of the most obscure ones? Can't you just enjoy a song for what it is and ignore whether others like it or not? You don't have to hate a song just because it's popular you know! I'll respect an opinion but I just don't get this logic. :hmmI would play long highway

Privateering was released on September 3rd 2012, the first dates announced for the Privateering tour came out on August 27th 2012.
Privateering record was announced on July 18th 2012, so if they follow the same schedule, we are very very very close!!!!
So let's imagine the new album comes out in October, we'll have the tour dates in September, or if album comes out in September, in August we will have the first tour dates!
I'm really looking forward to it, specially to check if the start of the tour coincide with the musical in Edinburgh, or the London (or other not far away UK cities) with the musical in London! I imagine most of you are in the same situation, LOL
I bet that new record release date would be September 28th or October 5th

But the title could already be announced. Guy Fletcher did not know why they did not do it
Well, July is around the corner ;D
The ideal would be that they announce the title, cover, title tracks, formats and release date at the same time, but I guess they are going to do at least three different anouncements, title and release date, tracklist and cover, and formats, to follow their drop by drop schedule.

I think if they tour Europe first it will be the same as usual.
September release with tourdates for Europe. Jan 2019 tourdates for the US.
Probably somewhere in july a statement with albumtitle and official releasedate.

I saw Guy's answer and it made my day :) I also think we are back to a known pattern which leads to date announcement in September 2018.GF:

North America, Europe or the Moon first ? I don't really care as long as it's fairly announced.
In terms of personal strategy why North America first ? Then I have a chance to convince my wife I should go. Obviously for a series of shows :wave
And still have to do Europe after. ::)
Post by: jbaent on June 27, 2018, 02:30:46 PM
So it makes sense Europe first, so they can do again the festivals, and then NA.

and working on the Mediamarkt version with exclusive tracks.
:think
Who knows which retailer will get the bonus track this time...
If I recall well, with Get Lucky it was Itunes, with Privateering Amazon, and with Tracker it was mediamarkt...
Of all options, I rather have one like Mediamarkt, that released a cd with not only their exclusive bonus track but also some of the other bonus tracks as well, and Amazon and Itunes were just digital tracks.

Double album are mainly good for compilation and concert recordings.

I agree. Comparing Privateering and Love Over Gold is an object lesson on why artists should only release their very best.
LOG is better value for money IMO. I wouldn't take anything from Guy's comment.

Yes and still 4 minutes too long.
This could be the final album(obviously hope not but...)
Therefore I want MK to release as many songs as he wants to.If he thinks they are good enough that'll do for me.

Post by: jbaent on July 03, 2018, 08:41:17 AM
So true. Making Movies is only 37 mins? Quality not quantity please Mark.
Until now, any MK solo record had around 11-12 songs as the average number, except GH (14), STP (13), SL (14) and Privateering (20), all of them had between 12 and 11 songs.
I guess that the new one will have less than the average, probably because of the time consuming the musical has been during the last years...
I don't mind if the record has just 9 or 10 songs if they are all cream!

I think we get around the same amount of songs as Tracker. (around 18 new songs)
I think Richard commented that in the band sessions in which he played they recorded around 12 songs. Before Richard, they did other band sessions and after Richard they called Robbie McIntosh to play guitar on some tracks for the record so probably they recorded around 20 songs more or less and then they will choose which ones go to the record, which ones will be bonus tracks and which ones go to the drawer... 12 songs sound logical to me.

What is wrong with him telling the new album has more songs than Tracker. And why he is deleting answer for the tourplans in 2019 makes no sence. What are you giving anway???? Looks like the same old Guy again.........
I don't think he means 'more songs'. I think he means that he likes the album more than Tracker. (he always likes the last record/tour the most ;D)
Post by: jbaent on July 04, 2018, 04:44:25 PM
Could it be that it has a more rockier songs?
Tracker was nice but too slow sometimes and in general.

He is probably looking forward to the record release as we are, he looks very excited about it, and unusually joke about it, but this time it looks like he really mean it.

In Mark's world map there's only Europe and North America lol
And in NA they play mostly theaters where probably they loose money while in Europe they play big arenas or summer open air festivals...

I'll go along with that. Remember Mark saying when doing promo for the GH tour and NHB tours how much he enjoys playing in these small intimate venues? He must've really disliked all the tours since then! Well since this may be his last he should go out and do what he likes doing best.

We always come back to this, it's an old fan's desire, but a combination of a still big demands for tickets and the fact that he keep touring with expensive musicians makes impossible to him to tour in a small scale, and he knows it.
It doesn't matter he wants to tour just in small theatres, if he wants to do it with his nowadays band, he will be loosing money concert after concert. That's the reason why he changed 5 nights at the RAH by one at the O2 and 2 at the RAH, make more money in less time.
From years I suspect that he plays in Europe biggest and biggest venues in order to win enough money to cover what he will loose in the US touring theatres, althought the US tickets are quite expensive anyway!
If he changes his band for another musicians, good ones, and less expensive, he could easily tour just in theatres.

In Bridport, where MK did an interview and played some songs, MK said he had around 50 unfinished songs in his laptop in various states. The songs recorded for this new record are completely new or come from all that material he already had?

On a serious note: I guess this is nothing special but the way he has always worked, mixing old and new. It's not sharply divided, here new ones, there the old ones. As he is literally always writing, his amount of unfinished stuff will always be there and a source for every new album in the future. It's just that the naturally time consuming cycle of recording, releasing and touring plus his increasing age calls for some attention in terms of what he has got left to do or wants to finish.

You are right but this time could had been different because MK has recorded his next record "while" he was working in the musical. It can be said that the highest percentage of creativity was used in the musical has it was the challenge, and in between the musical sessions, workships, writing etc, he recorded some songs for a next solo record.
Surely he had new songs written before he started to work with the musical, and probably some written while he was working with the musical, but when you are in the middle of a so high time and creativity consuming task, rescue unfinished or unreleased songs is easier than write or work in brand new ones.
Post by: Love Expresso on July 06, 2018, 10:04:18 AM
It could also be vice versa as well, referring your "percentage" talk. MK will never do one project less intensive than another. The long period of time that both projects now have taken should prove that.

It's my understanding from the very few things Guy has been telling us. They went back to the studio in September 2016 and as he told, it was a project that he couldn't talk about, the musical. The musical is a project with so many different phases that in some of them MK wasn't involved, and they knew the musical would take a very long period of time so, they used that "free" periods in the different phases of the musical to work in the new album, that was when Guy told us they were working in parallel in both projects.
I always understood that the main project for MK was the musical, as it was that committment the one that brought him back to the studio after his "well deserved period of inactivity" and he used that free periods of time to work out some of his own songs for a solo record, being conscious that the musical will take so long until hits the stage that he will have time for it.
Yes, I know that from many of you, is the new solo record the main thing and the musical an addition in which also many of you won't be interested at all, but I'm sure that for MK is exactly the opposite, as a musical is something new for him, a challenge, while a new record is, another record, something he really did before and more or less is always the same proccess, nothing new.

I am waiting for two albums with the same great curiosity and impatience. A wonderful time is ahead of us. The end of the year will be to listen to the new album and then wait for the musical. Fantastic!

Right now, I'm more curious and more excited about the musical as it's something new. I'm also excited for the new album, as always, but the musical is a new thing and I'm looking forward how MK does it, how he write songs to be sung by actors live each night, how is the music...

All the road running has been recorded during "free times" between other projects and is a very good album imho
in fact I like it more than other solo albums
Exactly.
It doesn't means that the solo record is going to be worst because the main project is the musical and it's what challenges more MK so he has more creativity with this, it just means that maybe the new record could had been the perfect chance to rescue old unfinished or unreleased songs instead of create all new songs.

There are software or apps where you can schedule this kind of things and whatever you want will be automatically published when you programme it to be published.
I guess PCM had scheduled when release the drops of news.

Exactly. The news are not even provided by PC himself but probably by the one that will be at the office during the bosses holidays LOL

I think so too. However, the release date of an album without consulting the MK is probably impossible. The rest is marketing. We talked about it. :)

Better deal with that when you get back.

I always look forward to the title of the album, the list of songs, the cover. Will there be a title track or a hidden like in Kill To Get Crimson etc.
I'm sure we all look forward to hearing the title, but once we know it we'll be no better off for knowing it until we actually listen to it. :)

The name likely won't mean a thing anyway so we're building it up a bit too much I think. What will be of more interest is the packaging: number of discs, deluxe boxes, bonus material, DVD etc...
Yes and maybe a single release some weeks before release and starting with snippets to tease us. I remember Redbud Tree coming up early August?

Guy, I’ve put together a playlist for the new MK album. Keen for feedback please. If mark likes it, I’ve no plans to charge for usage.
Diamond Annie
Repton, home of champions
Dog leap stairs
Under Gateshead skies
The twang machine
Cullercoats
Sonoma raceway
Tom Cribb’s blues
Corkscrew, SC
Oregon shuffle
Maybe they are in iswc-net...
Post by: Love Expresso on July 30, 2018, 06:18:01 PM
-If this is really the list, belljon1 must really have had some VERY early insight because remember that he came up with Cullercoats ... when? March?
-When there is a track on the album that really is called Cullercoats it MUST be the title!! Must!!!! Everything else would make no sense...
-10 tracks is not too much.
-I already love Diamond Annie as an opener!
-The twang machine sounds stupid as a title ...
How stupid would it be to post that at Guy's forum if it was not true? But then again...

Quite a bizarre post on Guy's forum. Surprised he never deleted it straight away whether true or not. I personally would like him/her to reveal their source before I even think about whether to believe this.
According to Guy's answers, that's not true, so, I wonder why someone could be so stupid to post such things...

It depends on a number of variables, including release time and release location. For example, if the album is released in Australia at 8am it will still be October 4 in New York. In order to consider it precise I demand more info.

Most releases are on a friday someone said here. So any friday in october or november is possible. Most likely october and the 5 is the indeed the first possible date for releasing the new album. With MK you,ll never know so i go for october 19. Who’s next ;D
It's an agreement between record companies, I don't know if worlwide or in Europe, all releases are on friday. I know it because in Spain the release date was another, I think it was Monday (i'm not sure) and it was changed to adapt to a common release day.
Actually I think you'll be right about the date. October 5th would be best, the sooner the better, but I don't know why I don't believe in that desire, specially considering we are in August and nothing has been revealed yet, that would means they feel is too soon to announce an October release... Althought many big names have already announced releases for September and October, like Lenny Kravitz, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Billy Gibbons, Slash, Rod Stewart, Tony Joe White, Elvis Costello, Tom Morello etc etc, or even November (The Prodigy)

A few names in there about the age range they might consider also buy a Knopfler album. However if they don't announce anything then we'll be waiting forever; their record companies have announced their releases and now Mark is delaying his.

Guy said in his forum that their delay mixing didn't affected their schedule, so they had a release date scheduled that remains the same.
Their delay announcing, who knows which is the reason... Maybe the release date is November or December (still autumn) and they want to wait to announce such a late release date...

Guy said yesterday they are still doing preperations for the release. Someone asked what kind of preperations and he answered : "its complicated"
What could that be?
Maybe they are working editing some songs for single releases, or to be sent to radios to promote the record... or multiple things and he doesn't want to go further...
Thinking that the musical will keep them busy until the premiere date and probably during the first week or more after the premiere, if they are doing any promotion gigs, showcases, radio, tv etc, they have to shedule anything with care... so maybe this is one of the complicated things they are working at, or some of them...

Post by: skydiver on August 02, 2018, 08:53:33 AM
But given that MK usually plays London at the end of May or the beginnging of June, expectations should not be too high.
And maybe it is even better so, since almost every fan who plans to come to London for the show would also wish a ticket for the musical during his stay and that should prove more than difficult.

It would be wonderful to be able to combine the musical with the concert in London.
But given that MK usually plays London at the end of May or the beginnging of June, expectations should not be too high.
And maybe it is even better so, since almost every fan who plans to come to London for the show would also wish a ticket for the musical during his stay and that should prove more than difficult.
Yes, MK usually plays in London late May, early June as later (that was in 2001, STP tour if memory serves).
This time I think it could be different because of the musical. MK would be of course in the premiere in Edinburgh, and I believe he would also be in the premiere in London, which is June 13rd, or earlier if that's the commercial first date and there is an earlier premiere (as it happens in Edinburgh), so it's likely that MK would:
a/ Place the London dates around the London premiere for the musical so he can attend as the writter of the songs
b/ Place the tour dates with a gap of a few days so he can travel to London to attend the premiere, and then go back to his tour
Both are logical moves, but I think that most of us would preffer the first one, so we can do a double!
By the way, The Old Vic gives the chances to buy very cheap tickets to previews of the plays... maybe there would be five pre.view shows before the one at June 13rd that coincide with him playing in London! Check this:

If PCM arrange to have the London concerts the same time as the musical in London then many fans may decide to travel and do "the double" too. This will then make their minds up about travelling to Edinburgh to see the musical and the Lyceum may not sell all their tickets. This would not be fair by PCM to do this IMO.

Actually, if they are clever enough, they would set the Glasgow, Newcastle and other Northern English shows around the same time of the Edinburgh dates for the musical so people would do the double show with The Lyceum show.

Yeah, they could do that. They could have him play the Usher Hall next door in fact where he was due to play in '96!

Guy said yesterday they are still doing preperations for the release. Someone asked what kind of preperations and he answered : "its complicated"
What could that be?
My guess is TV appearances, promo material, short versions for radio release and stuff like that.
And don't forget they all have to agree (in writing) that nobody would ever ask the wrong question. Questions like "why did you miss the Hall of Fame, Mark?"

Maybe "it's complicated" means the label judged the album too bad to release it and MK and Guy have to record some new stuff or repair and recut it ... too boring, too slow, no chance for commerial success...
;)

I don't think the label has its word to say on the content since TRD, it is here to publish what Mark records, no more no less.

And how refreshing to do promo pictures directly at BG. Not that it would be totally impossible to leave that building once in a while ...

That promo pictures in Carlton Hill (Edinburgh) were amazing, also the ones in the cemetary (Was it for Privateering?)...
It's quite comfortable for MK to do the pictures at BG, maybe too much indeed. Specially these days when it looks like they keep working and working in the musical...

I thought MK would be on a holiday by now. Is August normal not the month they take time off?
Yes, but it looks they are still working. The musical must had affected their usual agenda, together with the preparation for the new record release...
But I also guess that they should had stopped or would stop soon and take some days off before the release and promotion of the record arrives. I have the feeling that it´s going to be later than we thought...

Let's relax about this fake track list, shall we? It's a joke! Whether you think it's a good one or not is up to you, but certainly it's no reason to get angry. I've seen similar fake track lists with each new Dylan album; it's almost a running gag among his fans. They all try to come up with something looking as real as possible, and if you manage to trick your fellow fans, you'll have a good laugh - and they will, too. It's an April fool's kind of thing.It is just the repeating, and the in your face attitude that is annoying

I'm by no means an aficionado of Mark's discography, (and upon some more searching jbaent's already mentioned at least some of these, probably all of them, I've italicized the ones that I saw he's already mentioned earlier, feel free to ignore those) but I've just had a look through the ascap list and there are a few titles I don't recognize and couldn't find after a quick google search either- I hope that I Didn't, Did You Come, I'll See You Then, I'm Doing Better Now, and Not In the Frame. I checked the ISWC numbers, and I'll See You Then and Did You Come came up as associated with Metroland—I guess they were unused tracks. And from searching on here, it looks like Not In the Frame has been in ascap for a while; it doesn't have a ISWC number and publisher is listed as 'will decide ltd', idk what that's about.
I couldn't find much info on I Hope That I Didn't (under 'other titles' the same title- I Hope That I Didn't- is just listed again, once and then twice; couldn't find it in a search on here either) and I'm Doing Better Now (again under 'other titles' the same title is repeated again; also couldn't find it mentioned on here) though.

Also, I'm not generally against synths. I've been listening to Gorrillaz' Plastic Beach yesterday, which I like a lot, and it has synths all over it. However – as the title suggests - this record is meant to sound like plastic. Whereas Mark, in my opinion, would be better off with wood and steel.

Interesting. I like the fact that Ruth Moody is not in the record this time. First time was a nice surprise, second it was nice to have her again, third time would have been more of the same.
I think that someone talked with Tommy Emmanuel after a concert and Tommy mentioned that MK said yes to play in his album if Tommy play in some of his songs, so I guess we'll have Tommy Emmanuel singing or/and playing in at least on track or maybe two...
It's also interesting that Danny Cummings played percussion in the album, and that probably Robbie McIntosh also played in the record.

With all this probible delay i wonder when his new tour will start. June 2019 ???.
My guess is May.
The musical starts in Edinburgh in April and they will have to check if it works or needs any new song or change any of the songs during their starting weeks, so at the end of April, which is when the musical leaves Edinburgh, MK would be free from this commitment, but...
The musical starts in London in June, I think about the 20th, and London is with NY one of the main cities in the world for the musicals so seems logical to think MK will have to attend at least the premiere, and then, free again for touring.
So my guess: Tour starts in May, with a small gap of some days in June to attend the premiere of the musical and then back to touring.

Do you think there is also a possibility he will tour the US first. From the last week of june untill the end off july and after the break in August/september start his European leg off the tour :think.
With this schedule he can full focus on the musical untill it’s up and running in Londen.

If Mk does that tour they will miss all the European summer festivals so I don't think they will tour the US first.
Not that he does many festivals but i get your point. Now i think off it, a few weeks back Guy replied on a question about festivals that MK is not that into festivals. But he always does a few on tour that is true..

I dont’t think Tommy is on the record since he was at British Groove for a really short time. Besides that, guests were almost always singers (Sting, Van Morrison, James Taylor, Ruth), only Sonny Landreth played lead guitar on one track (+ one bonus track).
Tommy and MK recorded the song TE released in just one take, and MK played it to Tommy once before they recorded. Whatever Tommy played or sung for the Mk record probably was just an overdub, so in the time Tommy was there he could had played and sung in several songs easily

I highly doubt the guests will be fancy ones, probably some obscure female singer just like Ruth and the other girl whose name I forgot.
Dream big... Clapton was at BG at the same time than MK twice or more...

Album title: Patience is a Virtue
1. Put it off
2. The more I wait the crazier I get
3. Postpone the launch
4. Stood me up (karma release)
5. The endless delay blues
6. Tomorrow never comes
7. Villainous deferrals
8. We there yet
9. A musical between us
10. It's never out
Bonus track: I need my rivotril
Bonus w/ deluxe digital download: Everybody Waits, The Tortoise and the Snail
--------------------
Also, Guy says we've got Robbie McIntosh on the album too.... still no mention of Eric, but maybe... maybe... we absolutely don't want Eric on the album :lol
I do agree with dmg and superval though, I think I might prefer no guest artists

Its my first post at this forum, but i am a old time AMIT reader. :)
Sometimes i ask some questions to Mr. GF. Mostly of them are about gear.
So, lets go...
Mark is my all time favorite guitar player. (I Suppose that i'm the only one here hahahaha ;D)
But, since 2008, with a short break in 2011, i believe that MK has loses his passion for tone and great solos. He is totally careless about 'high level playing'. For me, nowadays, he is more a Folk singer who plays some guitar solos than a Singer that have a guitar as a extension of his voice.
For me, thats fine. I enjoy all of his works. Playing great guitar or no.
Ok, he is around his 70's, so its totally acceptable that he shares a lot of his work with GF, Jim Cox, RB and the Pipe-Boys.
I belive that, if theres no GF, many of his solo albuns probably never would be released.
Following this tought, thanks to them for contribute in amazing songs like Monteleone, Before Gas and TV, Kingdom of Gold and many other that is not about the guitar solo/parts itself.
But, i feel a bit desapointed with MK's recent works. All albuns are really great. I never saw an artist who has so many deepness at his works than Mark.
For me, even with great great albuns, i feel that is something missing.
I agree that its time to leave the Pipe-boys and bring back that STP tour vibe.
But, like Ednardo said: Mark do the opposite that we want.
Sorry that i talked too much.
Lets talk about the new album.
- Danny on percussion again. Great!
- Synths are back. Great!
- There is a Trombone guy. Great!
- Plenty of Archtops. Hmmmm...
I believe that will be a couple of songs based on the New Orleans blues style.
Like the Winton Marsalis group.
I believe that Clapton plays in one or two songs.
Sorry my poor english.

What I can say that waiting a Mark's album is always a thrill....who knows what did this time...one thing is that we are very lucky that an artist like him after 40 years in music business he have still things to show us....sure Mark will not disappoint us :thumbsup

I heard on the radio this morning that The Dire Straits Experience will be performing in my Southern Hemisphere "Geographically Challenging" country....the announcement mentioned the band will feature Chris White, and (amusingly) a bunch of other muso's!
So come on, if these guys are cashing in on the name "Dire Straits" and seeing it an international cash cow, I really think MK could make a bit of an effort and reward those worldwide fans who want to see the real deal.....oh wait....this has a bit of the R&RHOF stink about it....(must....not....be....so...cynical.....!)
Its not like travelling the world MK style is a hardship - the most difficult thing to worry about is if the private jet (after fleeing the concert) has enough platters of food and cold beer and the hotel your staying in has a late licence.

another GF update: "Can you say how many songs are on the album?" I can but I don't see why I would. I listened to the acetates fresh from the Vinyl mastering today. It sounds absolutely fabulous.
Fabulous sounds good... hopefully we agree with Guy :)

Wrong thread, this should go to the "Almost Straits" forum, and create, for once at all, a thread called "Moanings about DS tribute bands with ex members", that would help to the many of us tired and bored to death about these moanings.

Anyone tried to contact with the artist who made the deluxe boxes in the last 2 albums?
YES.
He's very proffesional and didn't say a word, and he won't until it's announced and published the pictures of the cover and the box, I guess.

Unfortunately, you have spectacularly missed the point of my post. It was not a post to moan as you suggested about "DS tribute bands"..I really don't care about a bunch of guys trying to make a cheap buck from recycling old DS tunes. Its a bit sad, but I really don't care.
My rather cynical point was that if these bunch of guys trying to make a living off the DS legacy can travel the world and try to include a global audience, then i just feel MK should put a little more effort into widening the tour plans and include countries who's fans have stood by him through the years.
Yes, he doesn't have to...but he should. Kind of like the little comment I also made about the recent induction farce.

It's probably no coincidence that Shangri-La - not featuring any guests or synths - is my favourite of his albums sonically. If it has one flaw, then maybe that it's overly long. Which brings us back to the number of songs ...

I think this is the list we should be watching:
https://www.ascap.com/repertory#ace/works/publisher/76954/WILL%20D%20SIDE%20LTD
72 songs published by Will D Side. All from the latest albums. I think the 72 will go up to 85-90 or something when the new songs are added...
Thanks for your effort. This is an easy way to check daily if...
Post by: jbaent on August 10, 2018, 08:15:13 AM
But on the album Shangri - La there are keyboards.
Yes, but most of them are "organic keyboards", synths are not the same than a hammond, for instance... both have keys but the synths imitate sounds that are not natural for an organ and a piano.

The return of good old synths could be a good thing as well. And Jim piano all over the place made me remember about Privateering...
Probably the fact that they recorded it while they were also working in the musical made them go straight to the rock songs as MK didn't had so much time to go deeper in the slow ones... I hope so!
However, even I think that Tracker is probably, in my very personal opinion, the weakest record MK has done, I liked it and enjoyed it, so whatever MK does, I'm going to like it as well.
what I don't like is this delay announcing it and the previous announcement that the record would be out in Autumm. I didn't want to think that Autumm is quite general and can be any date until December 23rd but this delay could mean the release is going to be later than we would like it to be :(

Guy was quite honest when he wrote (and I think deleted after...) in his forum that this album had "more", in reference to Tracker, and the fact that Danny Cummings was there and that Robbie McIntosh commented in facebook, when he was in British Grove, that he played guitar overdubs over some tracks with such great grooves from Ianto and Danny, makes me think that this time, Guy must be right about being excited with this new record.

And yes, Jbaent, of course I'm all okay with keyboards. Jim is an incredibly musical player, and Guy, too, has created beautiful things on the hammond and other keyboards. What I don't like it the artificial (synthetical), soulless sound of synths. At least not in Mark's music.

Synths are great if used properly - which certainly isn't the case when it comes to Coyote, yes. However, organs can be annoying too, like that bee-trapped-in-a-soda-can sound from Beryl. In fact any instrument can sound good if well played and when the song needs it.

Very unlikely as long as they didn't announced it yet.
I won't bet anything sooner than mid October or early November.
Tracker album announcement january 2015 and availible march 2015. Exactly 8 weeks in between.
Tracker US tourdates anounced end january 2015 for a tour to start september 10.
Wil they follow this schedule again :think :think
For tourdates that's possible i think. The album will be out sooner ofcourse
Oh, and something else: Privateering was announced 13 weeks before it was officially released!

One of the few things I don't like from 80s music is the electronic drums and that drum sound, I think is called gate drums or something like that, supposed to be invented by Phil Collins, but really invented by Peter Gabriel while recording his song "intruder" and manipulating effects while Phil Collins was playing drums...

No, no. The gated drum sound is played with a real drums played by a real drummer, but the sound is processed by several effects to sound... Gated LOL
Electronic drums were like the real drums but with pads instead toms, snare, cymbals...
Linn drum machine or the Roland 808 were just machines with buttons to programme and sequence drums sounds.

MK certainly is cool in the more literal sense of the word (in a JJ Cale, "Sixblade-Knife" kind of style, you know what I mean). He totally isn't and never has been cool in the sense of being "en vogue". It's true that retro 80s sounds are currently en vogue, and can be cool in that sense, but MK, let alone GF, are the least likely people to create a cool-sounding retro record. There's a fine line between doing retro ironically (which can work) and doing it in all seriousness. The latter is the opposite of cool.
That said, I don't think this is something they would even consider. They'll just use the synths to create "atmosphere", like they did in the past, in songs like "The Dream of the Drowned Submariner". I don't think Mark's songs need that treatment (as he proved with Shangri-La), but I've learned to live with it. :-\

I understand what you say and probably agree, however KtGC is about as retro as you can get so who knows?

Yes, KTGC is very retro and I love the nod to Bert Weedon's "Play in a Day" in "We Can Get Wild"! ;) I know some would say it's MK's weakest album, but there are a lot of songs on that album that I like very much.

I think you can read this as within the next two weeks but i also have my doubts.
Having said that, don’t you think Guy knows when the announcement is going to be made? I for sure think he knows that. I bet he will even know a tourschedule at this moment. My point he knows a lot lot more then he can say. He is working with MK for over 35 years at almost every project. For sure he knows.....

Guy should know the release date as long as the release would mean some promotion where probably he would have to play some showcases, although probably he is now more focused in the recording they are working on for the musical so maybe Guy is not really aware of the exact release date but in a distant date for promotion...
I hope they skip the TV promo this time, it was awful last time. If there must be some promo I hope he asks Robbie Mcintosh instead of Luke Brigthy, I honestly don’t understand why Mark hires that guy, always sounds as he didn’t practice enough.

There will always be some promo. Not that he is doing that much for his last albums. Correct me if i am wrong but i see other artist doing much much more promo things when they have a new album..
Privateering and Tracker didn't had what we call showcases, small concerts, just some radio interviews and short tv interviews sometimes playing one song, probably because Privateering release was pretty close to the Dylan tour in 2012 and Tracker was released also close to the MK Privatracking tour, so there was not enough time to do some showcases.
As far as we know, from the new album release this autumm, there is nothing in MK schedule until April 2019 with the musical premiere, but it's supposed until then MK would keep working in the musical so, who knows if this time he would have time for some showcases...
I hope so!

I get the impression Mark doesn't enjoy performing live on TV any more. I doubt he'll ever do a showcase again too if he's watched the AVO Session, which is regularly shown on Sky.

Yeah, exactly. Boring journalist = boring questions = boring answers. It's not just Mark's fault.
The problem is that he doesn't really have a following among journalists, journalists who care deeply about his stuff and analyze it. They just cover him because he's a big figure and popular, but they only scratch the surface. Media darlings like Damon Albarn or Bob Dylan (if he cares to give an interview every decade or so) will get much more interesting questions.

With big guests it's all agreed beforehand what will be asked and what won't, especially when they are plugging a book, a film or an album. Other artists tell the same stories in different interviews too, not just Mark. What annoys me is that an intelligent man has been peddling these same cringeworthy stories since the 90s. :disbelief

That may be true for big TV interviews, but discussing questions beforehand doesn't necessarily imply that the questions be boring.
Or maybe Mark doesn't have the heart to ask for better questions - just like he didn't have the heart to ask his dad for an amplifier. ;)

Has anyone ever brought this topic up on Guy's forum out of interest? Just curious to know whether the band are aware of how bored to death we are! I just don't get excited with interviews now like I did years ago unless I know there is going to be live music. Sometimes I don't even bother unless someone posts it on here.
Well, I think the 10 minute tv interviews are more 'targeted' on the audience that isn't too familiar with Mark's solo work, and not so much on his established fan base - and that's probably the reason the same questions are asked over and over again.
Fortunately, there is also quite a bit of more in depth material, like 'Guitar Stories' or 'Life in Songs', the album docs, etc..

Privateering was announced 13 weeks before it was released. I hope they wil not do the same again.

The musical had been announced already and the tickets were on sale, at least in Edinburgh.

Mark will never do it. But I want The Ragpicker's Dream part two and three :)

I'm really shocked! :o I was certain that it was a joke and I hope MK will NEVER make a Christmas album - they are out of date immediately Christmas is over! Clapton hasn't made a decent album since "From the Cradle" - all the rest have been pipe and slippers albums and this one is really scraping the bottom of the barrel, sorry to say! :(
Pilgrim, Reptile and Back home are really good in my opinion. Funnily I find From the cradle quite boring.
I agree that a Christmas album looks a dumb thing to do. Dylan also did one some years ago.

I have two of those - Pilgrim and Reptile. Pilgrim is half OK - just! I like River of Tears, Going Down Slow, She's Gone and Fall Like Rain, but that's about it! Reptile is unbearable, apart from Travelling Light, which I quite enjoy, but that was written by JJ Cale and Clapton seems incapable of writing a good song. Everything he does is either a cover or a collaboration with someone else. The ones he has written are pure saccharin, especially Three Little Girls - yuck! The third, Back Home, I listened to and immediately knew it wasn't my cup of tea - ditto all that followed! Sorry, Eric! :(

Clapton record goes out on October 12nd so, by marketing reasons I guess it won't be a good idea to release it at the same time. It doesn't matter is a Christmas album, it's Clapton anyway.
Now my bet is late October or early November, so no announcement until September.

well 2 months is enough.
As they did not earn that much on record sales anymore... Why announce it 6 month in advance. Or release singles or Music videos.
I think you are right. September announcement - Late October to mid November release.
We hadn't had that before

Releasing a Christmas album is not in the style of MK:)
Yes indeed. I cannot see any other main reasons for EC to release it than commercial ones. I mean how many Christmas albums are there? The idea of making a Christmas
album - really driven by artistic ideas? Blues christmas? Bob's album had some interesting ideas, in fact I love it, with the polka and stuff.
MK has no commercial ideas, the way he releases his albums and tour dates cleary shows that. He is amateurish at the most with that stuff. So I guess we will never
see an Mark Knopfler Christmas album.

Clapton is not a songwriter and creative artist. All the hit songs he put out there are covers or songs he had in one or the other way help with, to make the song from bad/mediocre to good/great. Because Clapton is not creative he comes up with things like a total uninspiring Christmas album filled with Christmas songs, which probably are all covers.
To be honest, I don't really understand why Clapton operates the way he does. He has all the freedom/time in the world, because of all the wealth he gathered. If you aren't a great songwriter then write down some lyrics in which you say what you want to say about the things that touch you and are important to you. After that get help from someone who is a great writer to help you rewrite those lyrics to make them better. When the lyrics are finished then go experiment in the recording home studio and try to put some chords/music underneath it. After that call up a good producer and get the band together for recording sessions.
Now it's like he has no dept and hasn't anything to say to the world.

Exactly! Climie is a parasite in Eric's life creatively speaking.
I don't think we should judge the way EC chooses to operate his business though. He's ill and fragile at the moment and just wants to keep going and do what he likes best which is making music. He's stated several times he's not the leader type as well, he will often take the backseat when the opportunity is given. On the other hand Mark's a natural born leader - some will even say a despot. Indeed two very different musicians and maybe that's why it sounds so awesome when they team up.

With all due respect, but you can not compare Knopfler with Clapton. They both play guitar and sing, but that is where the resemblance stops.

If you aren't a great songwriter then write down some lyrics in which you say what you want to say about the things that touch you and are important to you. After that get help from someone who is a great writer to help you rewrite those lyrics to make them better. When the lyrics are finished then go experiment in the recording home studio and try to put some chords/music underneath it. After that call up a good producer and get the band together for recording sessions.
Now it's like he has no dept and hasn't anything to say to the world.
Clapton has a 50 years plus career. He has said what he had to say and wrote or co wrote some classics. LAOALS is a masterpiece!
But Eric has produced a discography with many high and low, he has not the consistency that some others artist have.
Now he may be "dry" but we have enough of GOOD material to enjoy many hours of great music performed by him.

I agree except for the word you did use, i wouldn't say amateurish, I would say "you" are rather not interested in what is already depleted or "worn out" ;)Releasing a Christmas album is not in the style of MK:)
Yes indeed. I cannot see any other main reasons for EC to release it than commercial ones. I mean how many Christmas albums are there? The idea of making a Christmas
album - really driven by artistic ideas? Blues christmas? Bob's album had some interesting ideas, in fact I love it, with the polka and stuff.
MK has no commercial ideas, the way he releases his albums and tour dates cleary shows that. He is amateurish at the most with that stuff. So I guess we will never
see an Mark Knopfler Christmas album.

just think of rag pickers dream or corn beef city (even radio city serenade is included), these are really great songs!
but, who would ever want the whole album made of Christmas? :hmm

Hey Stanko, maybe it was not clear enough... I just meant that the release of the album (s) itself, especially in Internet days, is done amateurish. I would never call his songs that way of course, even his worst ones get more playtime at my place than what is on the Radio today.. Not that there are many bad ones.oh i know, no problem, i got you right, i was only kind of rhetorical on this one, what i mean is that's not about how it's presented but WHAT is presented!

Couldn't agree more. Crockford's approach to managing M. Knopfler is so passive it appears he has somewhat lost any interest in this client now. Mark can't be an easy artist to manage as he isn't what you would call your average artist and I understand there is some long time relationship between them, however after the debacle last time I think a change might have suited both parties.

Mark is the one and only boss on board, he never wanted to have a « Colonel Parker » to manage and decide for him, he’s the captain and I’m sure every body knows that and don’t want to mess with the boss.

As far as I know, MK isn't an easy boss even his nowadays low profile (in comparation with the DS days and the early days of his solo career) and I'm pretty sure that PCM doesn't walk any single step without the "yes" of MK.
What I don't understand is why they stick to the old rules of marketing during the internet era... This way of managing things had a sense before internet but now...
For example, all this delay announcing the record, they are missing the chance to create movement and expectation releasing information little by little. Even us we are bored of waiting and stop caring about it...

Clapton is known by doing many covers, some of his most famous songs are covers but he also wrote some great and legendary songs, and usually he is regarded as a "cover artist" when it's not completly true.
His career has been so long that we tend to judge him by his last records, full of covers with some of his owns songs here and there, but he has done some legendary songs that will remain forever as well.

In a so long career, you can do a very long list of songs written just by himself that are rock classics...
At least, Clapton didn't mind sharing credits when others had inputs in the songs ;D :lol

Layla and other assorted love songs (LAOALS) is a masterpiece because of another guitarplayer if you ask me. The name of that other guitarplayer is Duane Allman and was the major inspiration and guitarhero of Derek Trucks. Duane came up with the famous layla riff.
The Layla riff is actually the riff from Albert King's "As The Years Go Passing By" so... Duane Allman is great I agree but I think you're giving him too much credit.

You can be a huge artist without being a songwriter.
Surprisingly for a few decades now if you can't write music you tend to be somewhat lowered compared to songwriters.
Aretha just passed away, she did not write songs but still she's a major artist of the 20th century.

12 songs?
The average of songs per record is 11.
If you are thinking in the bonus tracks. That could be some of the other unreleased tracks on iswc-net that appeared not long ago like "no tracks out" or others I can't remember right now.
Post by: jbaent on August 26, 2018, 11:37:37 AM
Usually all tracks for an album including bonus tracks and unreleased have consecutive numbers, that's how I made the list of songs recorded for each album, that you can read in Amit (check the sub forums for each album)
This can be again, a list of unfinished, unreleased or alternative titles of other songs.
Post by: regmka on August 26, 2018, 11:52:38 AM
However, I might insist that numbers are no consecutive and that's rare.
The search is a bit hard due to non-consecutive numbers and a weird search engine of the ISWC database. The list is definitely not complete: e.g. I just found another title TRAPPER MAN (T-925.653.559-8), so there might be more songs. If I remember correctly, RB said that they recorded "more than a dozen" songs.

Take as an example when the local hero musical songs appeared. All of them had consecutive numbers, between some there were a jump of one, two or three numbers but again the next ones where consecutive.
If you find more let us know, is always interesting to find more MK unknown songs, even just the titles.
Post by: jbaent on August 26, 2018, 11:58:34 AM
The average is 15, not 11, per album.

The last one . . . he tends to put a powerful ballad in at the at end, perhaps this is something about refugees and the whole word-wide issue modern day life seems to have at the moment.:thumbsup
yes, and other titles, like Floating Away and Drover's Road could just be about refugees as well...

Almost September and nothing... ???
If the release date is at the end of October (which is what I hope), it would be announced later this week.
If it's in November, which is what I fear, it would be announced in September, hopefully the first or second week.

I see it the same way.
Every week that goes by without a release date announcement postpones the release of the album itself, now to the end of Oct./Nov. at the earliest.
But even if we do not get a release date for the album in the coming weeks what I realistically expect is that we have the first tour dates announced before September 20th. I think this has mostly been the case in the past.

I truly hope that's true... I, as probably most of you, have a lot of planning for next year around the already announced (and on sale) tickets for the musical, that I (we) can't do as I (we) want to fit that musical tickets with MK tour dates.
Actually, I won't mind at all if they announce the tour dates before announce the record!

Post by: jbaent on August 28, 2018, 01:59:15 PM
I think that we will get to know the title and the release date earlier.
Yes, actually we were just having a laugh about it, as with Tracker, released in March (or was it April?) the tour dates were announced in september or october the year before, and now it looks like it's going to be the same, the tour announced before we even have the record...
The logical thing would be announce the record and at the same time telling that "details about the tour will be announced soon" and some weeks or a month later, have the tour announced. I don't think that would be later than november, probably coinciding with the release of the record:
September: announce of the record release date plus information about tour dates to be announced
November: Release of the record and announce of the tour dates the same date, to boost the tickets sales coinciding with the record
What do you think about my marketing strategy?
Post by: Robson on August 28, 2018, 02:18:05 PM
This thought, logic, strategy is better, and in the music industry it happens more often.

In order to continue with the talking... :lol
We can see one side with three tracks, so I guess the record has a minimum of 11-12 songs. Tracker had two vinils, one with three tracks per side, the other had three in one side and two in the other, if they are cutting three songs per side, they would be 12 songs in total, unless some of the songs are shorter and one or two of the side have 4 songs in it...
However, Privateering had 5 songs per side, as it had 20 songs, I think that could be related to the speed of the record, 45" or 33", I'm not sure
(https://imagescdn.juno.co.uk/full/CS466356-01B-BIG.jpg)
Obviously, the next record is not going to be the case, as we know for sure than one of the vinyl has three songs, and logical says Guy would had taken the photo when playing the first side ;D
So my bet is, 11 songs :think

The info we get out of his posting is that he has "just" a test pressing without any artwork , not the finished product ready to hit the stores.
To me it is more than just a slight delay...
A test pressing means the record is in the factory already to start with the production. Just that.
Well, it could be more. If the vinyl is in the factory means that probably the artwork etc etc is ready too...
The factory send the test pressing to MK and co to get the :thumbsup and then they start the production.
Post by: skydiver on August 29, 2018, 09:54:10 AM
What I had thought was that Guy was listening to the finished product when he told us about it on his forum some days ago.
That they are "only" at the point of getting the "go ahead" from the MK camp to start the production and then the distribution of the final product means to me that some more time will pass until we can get our hands and ears on it.
Patience is a virtue, they say.

It's Disc A, you can see that vague on the label on the vinyl.
Actually, looking at the size of track 1, 2 and 3, yes, it does really means a thing, I was wrong...
It means that if the average lenght of the tracks is similar to track 2 or 3, there can be 4 or even 5 tracks in one of the sides...
;D

Actually starting the production is good news. We know that the record is not going to be released until later october or november so, having the go means that the records would be ready in september, press copies is quite fast, one or two months in advance of the release date, to start with distribution at the correct time.

Actually that is one of the weakest points of "Tracker" as a record. Many of the songs are quite long, with endings of more than one minutes, sometimes near two or more minutes in which nothing happens apart of repeat and repeat and repeat the same melody. Usually in those minutes is where MK plays his solos, but in Tracker most of that ends, are endless boring repetitions, sometimes they have a blow or two os saxophon or something very sporadic, but nothing really brilliant.

"When we had some songs we went to Miami to work with Tom Dowd on an album. We got so far with it. Someone had given me a book called The Story Of Layla And Majnun, which was a Persian story about being driven mad by falling in love with a beautiful, unavailable woman.

Probably the colour doesn't mean a thing to the sound, maybe it's more about the guitar specs but I have to say I liked that guitar very much during that tour and when I saw her in the Glenn Saggers picture, it made me smile and wish it was used a lot in the record...

https://www.uncut.co.uk/features/the-making-of-derek-and-the-dominos-layla-24633
"There is nothing I can do" line is exactly the same as the Layla riff. It's just slower and the song is in another key.
These are Clapton's words form the same link you gave, but from page 2.
Clapton: We spent a lot of time working together on the guitars and Duane was very instrumental in the development of the song. He came up with this riff that was pretty much a direct lift from an Albert King song, ‘As The Years Go Passing By’ from the Stax album Born Under A Bad Sign. It’s a slow blues and there’s a line that goes, ‘There is nothing I can do if you leave me here to cry’, and we used that.
It also says this in the article: Whitlock remembers that Clapton already had Layla when they started writing together: “He wrote that song by himself at home.” The opening riff was also there – taken from Albert King’s As The Years Go Passing By – but the song was much slower than it finally appeared. Here is the link https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-story-behind-the-song-layla-by-derek-and-the-dominos
Another quote: “You know what? That riff is a direct lift from an Albert King song. And I don’t have to pay royalties because . . . [He hums the riff.] Hmmm, maybe I do [laughs]. It’s a song off the Born Under a Bad Sign album ["As the Years Go Passing By"]. It goes, There is nothing I can do/If you leave me here to cry. It’s a slow blues. We took that line and speeded it up.
- Eric Clapton, interview
1988 http://12bar.de/ftp/text_info/rollin_stone_interview_1988.txt
My response about the Layla riff was just to clarify that he did not actually "came up" with it. I didn't want to suggest that because of that, he was not a great artist he is.
I am not disputing the talents and achievements of Duane Allman, but to say that he, as you said, is the reason that "Layla And..." album is a masterpiece, is a bit far fetched in my opinion. And I repeat, I think you're giving him too much credit.
And we are getting a bit off topic of this thread I'm afraid.

I might be wrong but I think MK played with the blue Les Paul in Sonny Liston and BIA at least in the Glasgow 2011 concert.
If that was like that, seems MK changed to the sunburst Les Paul after that concert or some concerts laters, as all videos from that 2011 tour I find show him playing with his usual LP.

I was lucky to attend Oberhausen too back in 2011 so I got Why Aye Man as an Opener on which he played this guitar, too. It gives me some hope that Guy said that the new LP is used heavily on the new album.

However I have the feeling this guitar and it's sound was not liked by many, especially not by MK himself. Pity.
LE
Wasn't BIA played with that guitar too? At least at the beguining... I only attended the Glasgow concert that was the second one and I think he played it with that blue LP too...
I was lucky to attend Oberhausen too back in 2011 so I got Why Aye Man as an Opener on which he played this guitar, too. It gives me some hope that Guy said that the new LP is used heavily on the new album.
LE
For any reason, Why Aye Man is a song that worked very well for me live, I love it, and yes you were lucky, I would had liked to listen to it that tour with that guitar instead of "What It Is" that had started to be boring to me during the previous tour, and was a kind of lazy opener choice...

Post by: jbaent on August 31, 2018, 11:57:25 AM
A lot of Gibson Les Paul guitar could also mean a lot of bluesy tracks, which i dont like. (Dont forget your hat, hot or what, cant beat the house)
I know a lot of you do like these songs ;)
When Privateering came out I didn't like any of the blues tracks and I always skipped them, but all of them had aged very well to me and when I put it in my car driving to work or back home, I doscover myself enjoying them quite a lot!
There is a very funny moment where I always laugh a lot in "Don't forget your hat", at the end, after some guitar licks, Mk says, "hey", and then a louder "HEY" and I always imagine the band fallin sleep during the end of the song and MK yelling that HEY to wake them and finish the song :lol :lol :lol :lol
Post by: jbaent on August 31, 2018, 11:59:29 AM
Funnily enough, WII from Glasgow 2011 is one of my favourites. It works pretty well as an Opener: first you get plenty of energetic MK style Strat licks, Rhythm and powerful sound, then, when the first emotional high of seeing him again has lowered, the band lowers also to that great break which then builds up again. It's like getting conscious again after the first extasy. Phantastically done especially in Glasgow 2011.
LE
You are right, it wasn't in that tour where I starting to dislike it, neither the GL tour, it was "Privateering" tour... from all the openers he had to choose,I considered it as a lazy choice for that tour and I didn't like it, not for the song itself but for not having chosed other opener...

That message by Guy, that he deleted after some minutes in his forum, that the new record has "something more" than Tracker made me think that we are going to have something more similar to the style of songs from Tracker than the ones you mention.
I truly hope I'm wrong ;D

I interpreted that "something more" as deeper, more developed, more-layered... Not those spartanic stuff he partly did on Tracker. I know of course that it is sometimes very tricky to sound spartanic.

It gives me hope the comment Robbie McIntosh made in facebook to Danny Cummings when he got to British Grove to record some overdubs, I think Robbie told Danny something like "What great grooves by you and Ianto!"
It made me thought that at least there are some more uptempo songs...
And I DO really hope there is not so much noisy slide guitar as in Tracker...

I know I'll be outnumbered here and I hope Mark doesn't hear it but I don't like the original 1958 LP sound. I much prefer his previous LP, the one he used during the BIA era, and the blue one.
I like his '84 reissue too. There was a discussion a while back about it. A friend of mine on FB, who is also on a FB Knopfler group, also prefers it.

Maybe it's something to do with the amps he used in 1985 and what they uses nowadays...
I don't think so since the blue LP sounds much better than the 58 to my ears and they both go through the same amp and effects.

Are there good quality examples of these two played on the same song during the same tour? If not then you can’t really compare because of all the variables.
Also the equipment used 30 years ago compared to a recent one will make the comparing of two different guitars and sounds totally irrelevant, they are so different. Each to one’s taste.
Post by: Rolo on August 31, 2018, 09:07:28 PM
That blue LP used on Mark/Dylan tour is also great. By the way, for me, 2011 was the last year that i hear MK playing intense guitar.
As a guitar player, i always say that thr amplifier is THE key for a great tone. I tend to affirm that the amplifier is 70% against 30% of guitar.
The Bia album has a great tone, but i believe that Neil Dorfsman has a big influence on that tones.
During the BIA Tour, i believe Mark used a 120w Mesa Boogie Head with a 4x12 Celestion Speakers and a BB rack. It was a big, compressed and processed sound.
For me, the Shangi-la album have the best Les Paul tone of Mark's albuns ever.
Funny thing is that i generally dislike a big part of Mark's guitar tones, expecially during his shows.
The worst tones from Mark was the MM Tour and the Tracker Tour.
His bests strats are the Whites ones. The 65' and the 85' (The Bug Strat)
Sorry my poor english.

You just know the 2019 Tour set list is going to be RUBBISH! Just the same old recycled tunes from the last 5 tours - there will be disappointment and complaints. Suspect there will be more comments about MK being an album only artist - his tours and the choices made just frustrates fans. (this isn't me criticising MK, I would LOVE to be proved wrong, its just history and the fact MK is MK (and all that that encompasses) proves he will keep it safe/predictable/unchanging/folk-y - but "safe" is another MK'ism for frustrating) MK really should open the archive, dig deep, and completely overhaul the turgid setlist that has been used over recent tours. He is never going to have 'Bruce' levels of setlist freedom, but the current line up isnt working anymore.

The strats are too trebbly and the Les Pauls are too much clean. Far away from the tones from STP and SL.
If the RPD Tour had happened, the tones would be fantastics. During that time, Mark was using some Tube Screamers and big Fender and Soldano amps.
For guitar players, one thing is right. Less notes - More richer and full sound.
Mark follows the opposite... Less notes - Thinner sound (ex: Telegraph Rd).
Lets hope for a miracle in 2019.

Guy already said on his forum a few months ago that the setlist need some changes and that they are aware of that. When i’ve read his answer i’ve read it again to make sure... I expect some major changes....

He also has new "Notes" out and will be working in the studio the next weeks obviously. And you are right about the new section. Can't remember if he had something like that, I believe not, and it would be nonsense to put it up especially these days. I also guess it will be filled with dates soon!

Regarding a question today on Guy's forum about releasing all the tourdates at the same time his answer is not very hopefull by saying if that is possible they will do so :think
Somehow i think this is going to be :disbelief again......

That what we want. And you know what usually happens when we want something, LOL
I think what we would get is just the announcement of the title and the release date, if we are lucky also the tracks titles and a short note about tour dates announced later.
And my bet is that later would coincide with the day the record is release, to boost the sales with the coincidence.

I'd say is just that PCM took note of where they have more chances to fill venues and they try to play in that countries as much as they can.
That is Germany, Spain, France ;)

If there's any truth in that announcement date (Sept 6), I'm getting slightly nervous ...
Where did that rumour come from?
What Mikel said exactly was that from that day would be announcements. I take it as it can be tomorrow, or from tomorrow... Maybe not tomorrow but Friday etc
These announcements are scheduled based on record companies marketing strategies so it makes it unpredictable :smack

I guess that number of tour dates relates to album sales? And every MK album is number 1 at least one week and stays in the top 10 pretty long if I remember correctly. Not sure if he is number 1 or even Top 10 in UK?

I'd say that previous tickets sales are more important than record sales, specially as many people who goes to the concerts go to see the guitar and voice of DS and don't have his solo records or very few of them.

I think that record and ticket sales in UK could be much better if their marketing was better - some exposure on TV would help and more advertising.
And with that advertising they manage to almost fill the O2 hangar in London and the one in Birmingham!

Just imagine how many dates in a row he would fill the O2 in London with aggressive promotion in TV, press and radio like "the voice and guitar of Dire Straits is back in town" with sultans as background music, adds during weeks or months in the media...
With almost nothing they don't so well they don't mind doing expensive promotion.

I don't mind the smaller crowds. I'd rather be in a small crowd of dedicated fans who actually know and appreciate what he's about than in a bigger crowd of 80s nostalgics hoping for Walk of Life.
And regarding the advertising. TV's pretty much dead. There's a new thing, though, called the "internet". Not sure they've heard about that at Crock's headquarters. I'm sure they will at some point.

I agree with you Rail King. I would much prefer some smaller venues like we had on the Golden Heart tour.

That is a good point.
I think they learned from where advance-info has leaked in the past and shut those holes. (They may even have learned the odd source of leaking from this forum...)
Of course one has to bear in mind: most other artists would love to see such interest in their upcoming projects but not such a super secretive and private person as MK.

That being said, it sounds a little suspicious that after all the mistery and secrecy involving this project any official info would be given away like that, especially considering that Guy and other crew members apparently drop by every now and then. Well, if it ends up being legit I assume that will be the very last time Mikel gets that kind of insight lolDoubt that

Welcome to the team, I've been like that for a while now... I kinda miss the good old days when I knew nothing about any releases and bumping into a new album was pure joy with no previous stress lol

I am very curious what an album it will be.
Post by: Pottel on September 08, 2018, 05:24:16 PM
Actually I'm far more excited about the tour dates announcement. This year the Eastern holidays are quite good and bank holidays for May 1st are just next to Eastern so there are plenty good chances for traveling if it coincides with tour, and tour coincide with the musical, plenty of things to plan...You are right DK

And it is also 6 months away for a possible tourstart mid may 2019. The more i think of it, tickets will probably go on sale around the same time the album will be out..
Then again was it also not on previous tours tickets went on sale even before the new album was in stores???

I will tell you all of you a secret. The new album will came out and will be announced the next day like that: "errrr… Hello, we forgot to tell you that new MK record would be released yesterday so please go and buy it to discover the details about it. We will try this doesn't happen again and we can announce the tour dates before the concerts finish"
Remember where you read it first, lol

It all started with this crazy and absolute stupid nonsense Information that "completion date" was March. Apart from causing misunderstanding, that one really WAS useless. Who needed that info other than the label? Until today not even a release date had been announced. Guy should really not give Information like "We are in the studio" anymore. He is not willing to do a diary anyway and answers all questions regarding the new album monosyllabic and testily most of the time. A pain in the ass really the whole situation.
LE
I understand your feelings and I am very disappointed, too, at how completely ignorant the management is towards those who are supportive and loyal (for decades) to the artist they are supposed to represent.
But, after some reflection I think it is not fair to criticize Guy who acutally is the only one who still makes contact with the world outside of the secluded bubble all the others in MK camp are living for the last three years.
Even if he can say very little of substance at least we know MK is still alive and willing to write and record (and that simple fact alone is very precious news)
I don't think in all that mess Guy is the one to blame.
Everyone else is!

We are all impatient, but if the album will be released in November, it is not late with the announcement of the date of issue. Nothing special happens.
I agree here with the fact that announce the record would be finished in March was stupid. It made the waiting too long and too boring, seeing the days goes by without further information.
Instead of the stupid March date, they would had said "In September there will be an official announcement", that would had been something more useful.

The delays are with the announcement because of silly and stupid marketing reasons handled by the record company. The release date is set on stone from VERY long ago.

I am fully aware of that. But to he honest, if you read and watch the q@a section on his site, I can't really see the point anymore. How many times does a question get a satisfying answer from him? It so depends on his mood, and it seems Mark's anti-fan-behaviour has contaminated him.
LE
Maybe so. Or he got told that he should stop posting pictures of Mark and the band during the recording process. Either way, it's stupid to call something a diary when it's not, or running a Q&A without answering the questions. He could just say, look, I'm tired of this (which he has every right to), or I was told to stop it. The problem is his (and generally the management's) half-baked approach. They should learn from the old painter in that MK song, realize that they «weren't created to answer the call», and let it all go.

You know Gil? I'm impressed, good on ya. The guy is a genius. A bit suspicious politically speaking but a genius musician.
Re Guy, I don't think it's his fault, he says what he's allowed to. I'm sure he can't wait to spill the beans, getting asked on a daily basis questions you can't answer must be utterly frustrating.

My most recent album purchase was Live and Let Live with Terry Evans and Bobby King, both of whom were Ry Cooder's backup singers for many years. Ry Cooder both played on the album and produced it. It was recorded in the late 80s, so it does have an 80s feel to it (drums, electric piano, big reverb), but it has some great tracks. Some really groovy and rock-y ones, and some lovely ballads too. Recommended.Thnx

Because it's a boring song, with boring lyrics and boring music that even is not by MK but from an old Woody Guthrie song, a total waste of space in Privateering that could had been saved for better songs like "River of grog" or "Occupation blues" that are far far far far better to me. To me, in a 0-10 scale, Miss You Blues is a 3. The other two mentioned by me are a 9.
"Seattle" is one of my favourites, a wonderful melody with very nice and evocative lyrics, "Submariner" is ok to me, non a favourite, but still far far far better that Boring miss you blues.

Will they release it on 7th October? It would be on the 30 years anniversary of the "Dire Straits" release. We probably discussed it before, but that date is getting nearer and more likely.
I don't think the release date is before November...

It is not impossible that the record label will do something in connection with the anniversary just to sell more albums, but it's highly unlikely that Mark is involved in any of that. And for sure he'll be extremely opposed to the idea of releasing his new album around that time.

I don't think there is any point asking Guy about this anymore!! He has been very patient already and is busy with other things, the delay must be to do with the record company otherwise Guy would have said, and he must be busy with other things, for him the new album is finished. He has already stated the album is to be released this year, so it can only be a matter of weeks to wait now.
It has been always a matter of weeks to wait, since so long that I can't even remember :hmm

October is the release date of the first DS album in the US. (20.10) In Europe it appeared on June 8, 78 :)
I think that if the record company would had planned anything special to celebrate this 40th anniversary with a special edition or something , we would know already...

Just joking, but i think that will not happen for sure. He is getting away from DS as far as even possible. So for sure no releasedate so many years after the first release of DS.
November is indeed more likely....

As far as Tracker goes I agree with you totally on song choice. Those you listed are my favourites by a country mile.
Privateering doesn't interest me much these days. Only a few nice songs but no great ones:
Haul Away - nice little tune but no classic
Privateering - good sea shanty but annoyingly repetitive lyrics
Yon Two Crows - what seems like a minor classic at first eventually fails to deliver
Kingdom of Gold - moody but subdued number
Bluebird - underrated song in a sense but I never feel interested in listening to it much because it doesn't offer much.

I doubt it. Mark is notoriously out of touch with dates and stuff like that. Remember that French TV show he did last time when he was promoting Tracker and all he could remember was the venue he was playing! :lol

At least there is something, but it looks like the interview is recorded already, or will he be 'live' in the studio? Than he could say something about his upcoming own album
Maybe... the recording looks like already recorded and if the interviewer knows about what's MK going to do in the near future maybe there could be some questions about it but I guess it would be just about the first DS record.

Because it's a boring song, with boring lyrics and boring music that even is not by MK but from an old Woody Guthrie song, a total waste of space in Privateering that could had been saved for better songs like "River of grog" or "Occupation blues" that are far far far far better to me. To me, in a 0-10 scale, Miss You Blues is a 3. The other two mentioned by me are a 9.
"Seattle" is one of my favourites, a wonderful melody with very nice and evocative lyrics, "Submariner" is ok to me, non a favourite, but still far far far better that Boring miss you blues.

By the way, since quite some tours the excitement about the concerts is the planning, going abroad with friends, discover new cities, meet other fans etc with the excuse of seeing again the old boring man who used to be our rock idol when youngers.

The band is excellent, MK loses more and more what made him what he is. I listened to some Tracker recordings the other day and .. really ... I was totally shocked how bad everything sounded. Cringeworthy two hours more or less. People ask me if they can "borrow" A Tracker show from me to listen to when they hear that I went to Dublin and watch the same show again in two other citys, "well it must be very special then can I hear it?" And I answer "sorry but I don't have any recordings here at the moment" because it is so embarrassing to listen to it...

The band is excellent, MK loses more and more what made him what he is. I listened to some Tracker recordings the other day and .. really ... I was totally shocked how bad everything sounded. Cringeworthy two hours more or less. People ask me if they can "borrow" A Tracker show from me to listen to when they hear that I went to Dublin and watch the same show again in two other citys, "well it must be very special then can I hear it?" And I answer "sorry but I don't have any recordings here at the moment" because it is so embarrassing to listen to it...

It's not that I want to spoil it. But all three 2015 shows left me unsatisfied. First you deny it to yourself, you WANT to think it was great after all the money, time and effort you put into it. But at the end you have to decide "is it still worth it?"

It is not the first time that you judge so bad about him. And what you think about MK is only your thing but this comment is not fair.
I find it rather a presumption of you to judge about MK.
As someone gets older, it's perfectly clear that he does not have the same skills as in the younger years.
But to judge that it is getting worse and worse is simply discriminatory and not right.

I went to four Tracker shows (see below) and the best of all four was Manchester - it was extra-special. The rest were just OK.

If I take TR for instance, certainly there were more technical versions in 2005, but this one is still very enjoyable to listen too. Not ridiculous at all...

It's a tricky balancing act for him because there are so many casual fans who expect to hear the classics. I feel sorry for him in a sense too, because it's obvious he plays several of those songs simply out of duty. I also think a lot of his newer material would work better in smaller venues, but he still draws large crowds, so what can he do? Having more show dates at smaller venues is not an option as the tours are long enough. Plus it would not be financially viable. But it would be good if he would experiment more with the show format and the setlist, though.
Post by: superval99 on September 12, 2018, 07:36:09 PM
That's the good thing about it. The album is the "real deal". I appreciate very much the effort he takes in producing them, "craft them" as he once called it himself. And I once called his albums children and you love all your children and when they are born they are with you your whole life.

What seems rather contradicting, though, is how it is important for Mark to "please himself" yet he goes on these long, big tours where it always seems he gets bored with the whole thing rather quickly. So why not do things differently? A conundrum.
Not sure if he really gets bored. To be fair and in spite of what I wrote two hours ago or so, his playing DOES get better and tighter when the tour commences. But it also leads to shorter sets with lesser songs than in the first few weeks. Which to me is prove that he indeed is not rehearsing much on the guitar anymore and gets better naturally by playing two hours every day for three months when touring.

Yes, the Lucca 2013 show was excellent, as was Liverpool 2013, RAH 2013 (both earlyish) and Carcassone July 2013 (late), all of which I attended with the exception of Lucca, but I listened live on the radio with the windows wide open - it was a very hot evening! ;) The Carcassone show was much shorter than the earlier ones, but it was excellent as was St Julien the evening before.

Well dear friends,yesterday i wrote to the universal music Portugal,asking when the new album of Mark is going to be released.Today they answer:`The new album of Mark Knopfler its set to be in November`...So they don´t tell me the day only the month!!!cheers ;)
I guess if someone from Universal, even in Portugal, didn't mind about answering about the month of the release, means that the announcement is really close. I hope it's today or tomorrow, that's my hope...
I would not be so sure about a close announcement. Today the black eyed peas announced a new album for october 12. So thats 4 weeks.... That is also a strategy.

That's the good thing about it. The album is the "real deal". I appreciate very much the effort he takes in producing them, "craft them" as he once called it himself. And I once called his albums children and you love all your children and when they are born they are with you your whole life.
I just wished he would take the same efforts in re-thinking his touring habits. Lesser shows, Smaller venues, longer breaks etc..
LE
I have to agree with LE to a certain extent. Mark's live shows aren't as good as his earlier ones, it's true. But it's also not very surprising - no artist at his age will become a better performer. A better songwriter, maybe, but certainly not a better player and singer. That would be biologically impossible. You simply loose some of your energy and physical skills with age. That said, I still enjoy going to Mark's shows, just like I enjoy seeing Dylan live (who is barely a shadow of what he was two decades ago). I mainly go to these shows to be in the presence of artists I adore. I makes me feel special to actually see them. And then there's always at least one or two nice surprises in every concert, be it just a guitar lick or a vocal phrasing I didn't expect.

I skip R&J since years now. Am I bad now?
Depending on your drinking habits and bladder size, you might get away with this. ;)
But I was referring to albums rather than concerts (which naturally feature some classics again and again). It's the skipping of album songs I don't understand, especially since Mark is one of the very few artists who simply don't do bad songs. Also, to limit Tracker to Laughs, Basil and Beryl and to skip songs like Mighty Man, Taormina or Silver Eagle is beyond my understanding. I've go no problem with strong opinions, Steinei, but if you don't even like his best songs, I'm really wondering what attracts you to Mark Knopfler. You might be better off at some Dire Straits Legacy tribute gig.

Compared to many other shows and sets he is still top notch of course. But maybe 25 times is enough.

About skippers: It's not automatically the reason that it's a bad song, sometimes I just skip them because they disturb the flow of the album. Like You Can't Beat the House, or One World.
LE
Post by: dmg on September 13, 2018, 12:14:52 PM
I confess I have the usual one skipper on almost every album, funny enough. On Privateering it's Hot Ir What, can't stand this "lazy" vocal style, and as it is a double album, Blood And Water on the second half.
On Tracker it's clearly Lights Of Taomina and most of the time Wherever I Go. On Get Lucky, it's You Can't Beat The House... on KTGC it's nothing really..
LE
Geez...seems you listen to a LOT more of this newer stuff than I do but you say well for the both of us! LOL
For me I can literally pick out about 3 or 4 that I will actually listen to of his latest few records and skip all the rest.
I agree with Rail King though regarding the concerts; it's all about the live experience and that different lick or phrasing moment. Then there's the moment he plays a rare song or tells a different joke at your concert and you remember that! Also meeting old friends again is something to look forward to. The very fact I can look back on concerts I have attended over the years and have good memories says a lot about what they mean to me, so I'll keep going.

The fact that it's an "album" is very important to me. When I listen to MK, I don't do anything else. It's not in the background of daily work or so. It's fully awareness of taking the time and listen to this or that album, and then in it's completeness. Eyes and doors and windows closed, ears wide opened. :lol

Interesting. To me it's just a collection of songs, which it's clearly not intended to be, but I don't take it so regimented. It's not exactly like watching your favourite scenes from a film for example IMHO.

I listen to them driving to work and back home, I have a distance enough to listen an entire record and I agree with you, sometimes a song doesn't fit and ruin in a way the flow of the record. For me it's "You can't beat the house" that doesn't fit with the perfection that to me is "Get Licky" record, or "True love" in "Crimson".
Tracker has too many out of flow songs to my taste. It's the MK record that with time only went worse to me, while the usual is that Mk record grow better with time...

I'd still attend any gig I got the chance to grab though, with no breaks. But that's obviously due to the fact that you guys are spoilt and I'm a poor south-american bastard, forgotten, put aside and abandoned by Mark. I'm overdramatic today, sorry :lol
Post by: jbaent on September 13, 2018, 02:25:38 PM
It's pretty obvious and understandable that Mark isn't the same guitar player he used to be, hasn't been for a long time now - and using less guitar effects doesn't make it any better.

You draw a quite good self-portrait, LOL
Actually I don't demand MK being the rock and roll star he was, but to be more honest with himself. He's doing quite intimate and nice albums, but whenhe goes on tour, most of his solo songs are forgotten and keeps playing in the same big arenas or even bigger that when he played with Dire Straits... Being honest with his solo career, he would play in small theaters and sets like the one he played at the Boothbay concert, the most honest concert MK has done ever.

@jbaent, you repeated this opinion several times, it makes me smile every time I read this since Tracker is one of my favourite MK's achievements (DS included). The reception of compositions is obviously a question of personal taste, but what do you think about the production (the sound)? For me Tracker is the best sounding MK record ever and a proof that the BG project was/is a good idea. Another point are IT's drums, more exposed, it seems to me that MK has found a drummer he can rely on (sorry All Dear DC Fans here :wave). Quite an evolution from the "best drums/no drums" approach...

Fully agree, TRACKER sounds exceptionally good. First time I listened to it I was impressed, the drums, for example, sounded as Ianto was playing in front of me. Guy has learned quite well next to Chuck Ainlay.

I've always thought that OES sparkles on my system, in particular the percussion on songs like CE. They're all good though; the first one has a lovely unpolished style to it that I love too for example. The latest ones are faultless but is that boring? Perhaps one could say due to that they have no character and so they are indeed not faultless...

I SO agree with that. All the more surprising I found your disliking of Taormina. To me, this particular song doesn't just fit on the album perfectly, it stands out as it's actual highlight. One of my favourite songs not just by Mark, but by anybody. I understand your restraint re: Blood and Water or Wherever I go, but what the volcanic hell is wrong with Lights of Taormina?
Post by: Love Expresso on September 13, 2018, 03:24:43 PM
Maybe it's the "maybe in another life time" bridge, maybe it's the very bad fade-out. The guitar sounds good on it though. But yet another slide ....
What's good is that sometimes even after many years I re-discover songs and suddenly detect a new beauty in them which was overlooked first... maybe this will happen with Taormina some day .. :wave

That being said, Tracker sounds to me similar to the DS records and could follow OES in terms of production, wheras some of his previous solo work sounded (more or less intentionally) experimental.
This is of course only my opinion based on my taste (grown up listening to DS over and over again) and the way my speaker system interferes with my sofa ;)

Taormina is a nice song with a beautiful melody, a nice story and great mood, specially when it comes to percussion and accordion but MK slide guitar makes it to loose all his greatness. Slide noises that doesn't fit with the beautiful things any other instruments are doibg. For me, that slide noises ruins the song and turn it into one of the skippers.
Kind of agree here. Nice melody but the lyrics don't seem to fit the music (too many words awkwardly squeezed in) and personally I don't think his guitar sounds great at all. Sounds poorly recorded (sharp and tinny) and that he's not nailing the sounds he wanted. Maybe it was that new glass slide thing he was using at the time. :think

Oh, for sure it will. Just listen to it as many times as you've been forced to listen to R&J, and it'll grow on you. ;D
And about the fade-out: The one thing I don't like about that fade-out is that it's a fade-out, that song can't go on forever ...

I think one issue is that his sound is super clean. For slide on electric guitar, I tend to prefer players with a slightly overdriven sound. Apart from the usual suspects (Derek Trucks, Sonny Landreth, Ry Cooder, etc.), I think Richard Bennett plays great slide guitar. Maybe not like a virtuoso, but he has a nice sound. Didn't he play slide during Skydiver on the Tracker tour?

Yes, on Taormina it was the white 64 Stratocaster tuned to Open B flat but with both lower strings tuned to B flat. Sounds like a straight to amp solution with slight modulation effects and compression.
It could have been great with a bit of grit to the tone.

I can not explain it but I feel it. The music is emotions and feelings.
I understand what you are getting at; the JJ Cale tribute clip has a touch of that early DS vibe (Six Blade Knife for example), not so strange since Mark obviously was influenced by JJ Cale back then. BUT - Mark and DS took things further, even on the first DS record, and breathed more life into things compared with JJ Cale.
One recent song of Mark's that is somewhat in that vein is Behind With the Rent, which is one of my favorites from KTGC. It is also quite lazy and laidback, but still a lot more interesting and better sounding than the JJ Cale tribute song. To my ears, that is.

Just some poor needy soul who craves attention, not worth the mention, sorry. I was actually complimenting jbaent and LE on how they handled it.
Well, I had to behave, it's Guy's forum after all.. :lol

No offence, but I don’t think anything was said that wasn’t true.

I must add it's tottally inappropiate talk in Guy's forum about what happens here. Remember Sesame Street and Here and There.
It's nonsense and very inmature, and the reason why you've been banned time after time.

Monday is Sept 17th so in two months November 17th. I really guess we will get some news now any day. It's however the latest release of an regular MK album apart from compilations which of course have Christmas in mind.
With the delay, I guess that it was planned for an earlier release and I guess therefore Christmas is NOT one of the reasons for the late release date.

When the secret project was mentioned, some of us including me wondered about anything Dire Straits related, let it be new versions of old songs or something like that. With the 40 years anniversary there is still somewhere in the back of my mind a litte hope that we will get at least SOMETHING for that occasion, maybe one song, one new version, anything ... some small hope at least ...

I think many songs, demo, live, unreleased songs that never made it to an DS album are lying in the vaults off BG. But there is sadly only one who can deside what to do with those songs :smack

Down the road wherever ...
Worst album title so far since 1978. The opposite of original or inspired. Could be Eagles, Springsteen, Lynyrd Skynyrd stuff ... really, Cullercoats would have been so much more "Mark"..
I would bet MK or Kitty took the picture. Maybe there is a nice story to it. I like the fresh colours and the font. Thanks for the find.
I have no idea how you guys are doing it.
