Hi all,

For your information, Mark is featured on lead guitar on Hey Mister Night on the first single, but also played on another track which will be released at a later date. This second track will not feature on the album. The debut single of "'s Too Much / Hey Mister Night" is available now for pre-order at http://bowalton.webs.com/apps/webstore/ <or> http://tabitharecords.webs.com/apps/webstore/products/show/2676635 and more release info will follow! Watch this space!!

I am a Mark Knopfler fan and have been for many years - his work on the two tracks is beautiful and was a huge compliment to me. I hope you like what you hear!

Best Regards,

Bo Walton

Hi Pottel,
Many thanks for ordering the single - much appreciated! I was out tonight with the record label CEO and collected the first batch of singles. We are all really pleased with it and I hope you all are, too. The album is scheduled for release early in 2012 - possibly February - but the full track listing is yet to be decided on.

Mark recorded the guitars on these tracks quite a while ago - in fact, the two songs where Mark makes an appearance are some of my very first recordings from 1992/93, which sound far too good to leave off the new releases. Ed Bicknell heard the original tracks and played them to Mark, who expressed an interest in playing on them! The overdubbed guitar parts he laid down were recorded at some point in 1994, exact dates to be confirmed with producer John David, and we have remastered and re-recorded vocals to bring the tracks up-to-date, but Mr Knopfler's parts have remained in tact from those original sessions!

I really hope you love what you hear - please feel free to join the Bo Walton Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bo-Walton/283974374952563 and let me know what you think.


Please also feel free to spread the word amongst your community pages - I'm sure you'll love Mark's "magic" on "Hey Mister Night" - "Miss You Bad" will follow soon after and will be announced on the Facebook page shortly!

Many thanks,

Bo

Hi all,

Hope you've received your CD's - please let us know what you think of it. Mark played a Gold-coloured birds-eye maple PRS on Track 2 - Hey Mister Night - through a Fender Tweed Deluxe amp. It's such a sweet, distinctive MK sound, I think you'll agree.

Please feel free to join us at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bo-Walton/283974374952563 and post a photo of yourself with the CD. We'd love to see you all there!

Love and Best Wishes,

Bo

Hello Bo

Its very nice to see the artists talking in our forum, it makes me feel proud of being part of this.

You mentioned before that MK played on another track that wont be at the album. Will it be available in any way? digital download, as am extra song in other single or in a next album?

I listened to the songs and liked very much, very interesting that the songs were recorded during the Dire Straits days.

Hi,

Thank you all for your comments! It's great to be part of such a passionate community of MK fans...

The other song Mark recorded guitars for is titled "Miss You Bad" - a rolling, country-style song on which he added the beautiful tone of his vintage 0000089 Strat, gifted to him by Paul Kennerley - and boy does it sound awesome!

This song will be released at a later date, possibly on the second album or a CD single bonus track - please join the Facebook Fan Page by heading here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bo-Walton/283974374952563 and clicking "Like" - we'll keep you up to date with all the latest news and forthcoming releases. You can also head over to http://tabitharecords.webs.com/apps/webstore/products/show/2676635 to purchase the single or the constantly updated Bo Walton website : http://bowalton.webs.com/ - and you'll be sure to be kept up to date!

Thank you all again - I look forward to all comments on the single release, good or bad, and hopefully see you on the road sometime soon!

Bo

Hi Pottel,

Please forgive my mistake - having further delved into the recording data, it would appear that the guitar used on Hey Mister Night is, in fact, a Pensa-Suhr! Not a PRS at all - sorry for the mis-information...

Hope you're enjoying the tracks...

Bo

Bo, quite tasty, both of the songs! As a matter of fact I like 'S too much, more than Hey Mister Night, but since this is an MK forum , I can't admit it openly  ;)
Bravo, I will wait anxiously the release of your CD.

by they way, are those footsteps throughout most of the song??

Quite good use of these footsteps, keeping the rhythm! Remind me of a song by "A mountain of one".

Mark on new Bo Walton album

Mark is featured on Bo Walton's new album, Waiting On A Dream, to be released on the 28th of February 2012. Mark plays on the track Miss You Bad. A double sided single was issued on the 24th of November 2011, 'S Too Much/Hey Mister Night. Mark's contribution was recorded way back in 1993 and has never been released before.

Hey Mr Night - Not available on the new album

Thank you Maroretto. Strange, I have signed up on Bo's site but have not received any notice about pre ordering...
Title: Re: Bo Walton album? Mark on guitar?
Post by: jbaent on February 10, 2012, 11:25:05 AM
Yes, I also thought that both MK songs will be in the record... strange.
Title: Re: Bo Walton album? Mark on guitar?
Post by: vgonis on February 10, 2012, 11:54:39 AM
No, Bo had made that clear from the beginning. The song on the single was not to appear on the album. Just ordered both the album and the second single!A bit confused if the second single got a physical release apart from the promos. But people on Tabitha records are very warm and kind. This is the kind of human relations that the monster record companies don't care to provide.

Post by: jbaent on February 10, 2012, 01:52:07 PM
Then I clearly missunderstood the whole thing. I always thought that "Hey Mister night" will be in the record and "Miss you bad" dont. And that the first cdsingle was an advance. Then, by an anouncement that Bo did, I understood that "miss you bad" will be in the album as well, together with "Hey mister night".

As I said, I missunderstood the whole thing.

As I was ordering I saw that they still have some signed copies from the first single, so if you order, ask for one!. I have it already, so I asked for the album to be signed, and they said they will try!  :)
