« Last post by Knopflerfan on Today at 09:56:22 am »Guy 'co-wrote' the title track from her album 'Shine'Mark could do an instrumental cover of an ABBA song if he wanted to, not singing though. Mike Oldfield has covered ABBA's Arrival on his album QE2. Benny & Bjorn are amazing song writers and musicians, I asked Guy if they had met them, and it seems like they have!! Agnetha and Frida are 2 of the greatest singers ever. Don't forget Guy had written for Frida too.
What did he write?

Phil mcgarrick, who I follow on YT has done some really excellent ABBA Instrumentals all in a Shadows/Hank style....

Mark Knopfler Discussion Forum / Re: New album after the last from November 2018 ?
« Last post by Knopflerfan on October 23, 2021, 11:17:07 pm »Almost 3 years have passed since the last album from November 2018.
Does anyone have any information about a new album?
Bluebird
Remember we waited 4 years between GH & StP - 1996 - 2000.....
But he did plenty of things in the meantime, wag the dog, metroland, a shot at glory (it was released after, but recorded before or at the same time than stp), three short tours with the NHB (97,98,99) and some great collaborations with other artists, like the Hank Williams tribute etc etc
That space of four years, he was quite busy in between
One suspects he's been busy with family and non music related business in his senior years. With nothing to prove anymore I don't blame him at all....

« Last post by Knopflerfan on October 23, 2021, 09:10:09 pm »I have said before that I wish Mark would get back to the country ish thing he was doing years ago, and a big part of that is Paul Franklin. As long as he goes away from the Brass type thing he has been doing lately I will be happy.
Exactly my thoughts!
Let's hope for the new album that he will leave out the brass and gets back to his roots again.
Oooh yes, less 'Salvation Army' please....
