Knopfler is only credited for "Shootin' for the Moon" and "Creole Angel".

More data, please, my friends.

Goes a long, long way

Sorry, I just tried to fit in with Pottel's telegramm style...  ;D

He talks about a song on Sonny Landreth's album "South of I-10" from 1995, where MK was guesting. There is a song on it called Congo Square.
I do not like it very much, but found some information about the two other songs that Mark was credited for (guitar and vocals.)

Hope this helped?  :)

I dont own that cd, but I think MK just sung at that song.

Maybe some of you may remember a site titles "Smooching" which had the most extensive colaborations list, and that cd had three songs, and one of them was just vocals, I think it was Congo Square.
You might get lucky, now and then

Thanks for the reminder.   I had forgotten about the cd.    I didn't play it too much.
