Post by: jbaent on September 10, 2019, 10:32:54 PM
It's said in an Italian article :

NUOVO ALBUM IN ARRIVO PER IL LEGGENDARIO CHITARRISTA
Sebbene i Dire Straits abbiano fatto il loro corso, la strada da solista di Mark Knopfler è tutt’altro che in salita. Il 70enne pubblicherà infatti il suo nono album in studio, previsto per il 16 marzo 2020. “Credo che la mia determinazione e la mia perseveranza provengano dal posto in cui sono nato; un posto in cui ti trovavi da solo, senza niente da osservare, se non sempre il solito stesso panorama che si estendeva per miglia e miglia“, ha rivelato il chitarrista. “In quel momento ho capito che avrei assolutamente voluto qualcosa di diverso per la mia vita“, ha concluso.

That sounds likely.  I wonder just how much Mark will be involved, if at all.

That is a surprise, but very welcome, if he is scaling down touring, it does free up time for recording and releasing albums, he may have songs already recorded from the last album and Tracker, and he can go straight back into the studio after the tour ends and a holiday. Maybe he wants to release more and more now he has reached 70. Let's hope so.

Mark Knopfler: why did the guitarist's band become your trademark?


Every great musician has his own trademark. The voice, the skill or the attitude that each of them has made recognizable among a thousand others. Some of them, however, in addition to their immense talent, have a particular style, just think of the famous Angus Young schoolboy uniform. Mark Knopfler, on the other hand, has focused on a more discreet accessory, a simple band, which has made the guitarist and leader of Dire Straits a true icon.
The story behind the band by Mark Knopfler

If the choice behind Angus Young's disguise was premeditated, the same cannot be said for Mark Knopfler's band. In fact, the guitarist stated that the reasons behind the decision to wear the accessory were purely technical. "I was sweating a lot on stage, and because of the sweat in my eyes I couldn't see anything I was doing. That's why I started wearing the band," Knopfler said. "Over time, however, it has become a kind of distinctive sign, so I kept wearing it for that reason, too.
New album coming soon for the legendary guitarist

Although the Dire Straits have taken their course, Mark Knopfler's solo route is far from uphill. The 70-year-old will release his ninth studio album, scheduled for March 16, 2020. "I think my determination and perseverance come from the place I was born; a place where you were alone, with nothing to observe, if not always the same landscape that stretched for miles," the guitarist revealed. "At that moment I realized that I absolutely wanted something different for my life," he concluded.

his ninth solo album?

that looks like a mistake but, that exact date in March 2020?

 :hmm

My guess is if that's something, it might be the musical, but to be released in March, means they record it before, and being the London representations in late June 2020, that looks weird too for the musical, unless it means that in March 2020 they go to the studio to record it.

You don't really believe a word from it, do you?
How long have you now been a fan of MK?

Pretty obvious this article has taken that March delivery date from 2018 that Guy had stated last year, and without spending too much time checking any facts. Or year..

I know it's not reliable but who knows... The exact date is what sounded really strange.

Guy never gave any exact date.

That would make sense... except that bootlegers don't schedule that late!
