I don't know wether I should get excited about it or it's another "Mark can't say no" type of thing? Sounds not so big to me anyway.
Thanks for the news, also!

He plays guitar on one track called Shine on me.

Everyone went to the studio in Nashville to play in the record except Knopfler who sent the track from London...
Well done Mark!

And he probably doesn't even know the man in question personally, I like that :lol :lol :lol

If I want MK playing in my record I would be disappointed if he does it "by mail", I would try to fly to London myself and at least say Hi to him instead of just a FedEx...

Mark doesn't know David Crosby either, but David was over the moon with Mark's contribution to his song!!

Sending in a rhythm (!) track from London is hardly a collaboration that deserves very much attention. Just good for some name-dropping action, that's all.

Spot on, LE, I would not even bother to listen to it, I promise.
MK's collaboration with David Crosby was a perfect "Mark can't say no" situation, where you have a not-so-good song recorded over the Internet by a stranger for a stranger purely for name-dropping reasons. But the funniest thing is that when I heard it for the first time, I rejected listening it from the very first second and immediately stated that the song is not-so-good.
And people started yelling at me like "IT'S DAVID CROSBY, how it can't be good"? But I said — I don't care it's David Crosby or Henri Mancini, if song is not-so-good, it's not-so-good. And after a while same people started telling me "Yeah, I never listened that song again since then". People are people...
With all that being said, Mark also did a virtual session for "17 Hills" song and it was good. Also, "What A Wonderful World" was great, but it's very hard to ruin that one actually, it's one of the best songs human kind came up with. So it all depends on song hence "Song is King" as Mark would say.

I tink Mark playing on David Crosby song is coolest Mark playing in many year. We must be difrent ;D
-
That's music, what one person thinks is great, someone else will have the opposite view. But I don't blame Mark for not getting on a flight for however many hours, just to play on one song, when the technology allows for him to stay in his state of the art studio and play the track. For all we know they may have suggested sending Mark the track anyway, so it may not have been his decision!!
-
This dude is from the Black Keys and if I'm not mistaken his band is heavily influenced by DS - I think they've been mentioned a few times on Guy's forum. If that's the case it's very nice of Mark to contribute.
-
I never get remotely excited by a collaboration these days. In the old days it used to be an event, but when they become so frequent that he just mails them in then it's not worth it. In saying that, that's how All the Roadrunning was recorded.

Actually All the road running was recorded during the RPD sessions, and some of them in special sesssions for it in Nashville

Many musical collaboration are done that way. ITILYTM for The Jeff Healey Band was one of these "remote".

Well, at least that makes my point valid!
I thought it had been discussed on here before though; that it was "phoned in." Or at least bits of it. Hmm...

The gesture itself is nice and it is MK's "daily" work to play music. It is not that I judge his contribution to this band as such. It is just that in terms of our expectations regarding a possible "secret" very thrilling thing that happens at BG at the moment hardly can be explained with this thing. That is what I meant with my post saying that it does not deserve much attention. From us I should have added.

If I remember well "All the road running" was recorded during different sessions over the years, the first one(s) being at the time of STP.
-
I think I read that B.B.King collaboration with MK was FedEx and they didn't see each other. I don't know if it was like that or.my memory fails but when one of your heroes wants you in his record, it doesn't matter how busy you are... Do an effort... It's your hero! When schedule is more important... Something is missed.

Yes, as far as I recall, Red Stagerwing and Donkeytown comes from STP sessions, If This Is Goodbye and some others comes from the RPD sessions, some comes from SL sessions (they recorded a version of All that matters with Emmylou that was not used) and there were some sessions in Nashville, I think that it were two weeks with Emmylou in 2004 or 2005... And at the end of 2005 everything was put together, mixed etc in the then brand new British Grove Studios...
It's easy to know from when the songs comes looking at the copyright of each one in the booklet.
-
Mark said in an interview that his collaboration with Chet Atkins was recorded over the phone, too.
You can imagine how these guys was busy back then in London and Nashville respectively. Ouch! ;D

I find that extremely hard to believe. (part 1)

true, is his "Live at the regal" not his favourite record of all time?

This record is quite legendary in blues cycles, it features outstanding guitar playing from BB which you can explore like a textbook. Mark always mention this "triangle" between the voice, guitar and the audience and I always wandered if Mark knows that this concert was actually recorded in a mostly black club, so BB was playing here for black people, and you can imagine how well they would love their famous brother playing top-notch blues there. And all the screaming and audience chemistry has a very clear and reasonable explanation to it.

In 1964, in the US the white audience for blues club concert was certainly not a massive one.
Add that BB King gained popularity according to him when in the early seventies he switched from the usual club circuit to play college and universities circuit and thus reaching a white audience.

Either way I am looking forward to hearing the track wherever MK's contribution was recorded......

Looks like it wasn't Mark's choice to not go to Nashville if you read the quote below from Rolling Stone magazine:
9. For the new song "Shine on Me," Auerbach recruited Mark Knopfler – with a simple email.
"I sent him an email with the song saying, 'I thought of you. If you'd like to contribute, here it is,'" recalls Auerbach, who asked the Dire Straits founder-guitarist for just some simple rhythm playing. "A day and a half later, he sent me audio files. He was home in London, and has a studio there. I called him to thank him."

The album cover is very good! Interesting to see Chad Cromwell & Mark on the same album at last, but on different tracks it seems :-\
So if you want something from Mark, just email him! All there is to it ;D

Yes, sounds good.
