(01) Trapper Man

[MK-47]

This song too is really nice. Lots of positive energy. One thing that irritates me is the organ sound - I believe Guy used it on Beryl too.

Exactly! The song is very good, but those organs... very irritating.

So, to summarize... It sounds like all those radio streams we have found the songs on are all American?

Probably they play these songs there before release to tempt people to buy / pre-order the album. If you pre order tickets in the US you get a copy of the album, so maybe this is another step to try to reach out to all possible customers like with the ticket pre-sale offer... guess the market is tougher over there to sell Knopfler's things? On the other hand several shows fully booked already...

I have to say, this was a suprise. But I love it!  Nice guitar stuff again, really nice, and catchy!

Intro is a la Telegraph Road

I sense Tom Petty's influences in this one. It might become my second favorite MK album right behind STP.

I think this one may become my favorite, because this album represents a totally new approach, not just variations on the same theme. Of the eight songs, not everything is top-shelf material, but I like and enjoy everything. Really, everthing. Excited to hear the remaning five from the regular disc.

This song has this "stadium anthem" feel to it. Could be Springsteen song. Love it.

Petty, Springsteen, Dylan... it’s a hell of a song!

I thought about Dylan too, also some Tom Petty flavors

Yes! Hell of a song, you're right!!
I'm getting increasingly surprised by this new album, the quality of the songs, the dynamics, the arrangements and... The good mood that you can feel throughout!

I told you 

[TheTimeWasWrong]

Sit back in their big ass chairs
Say, “Boys, that is the man right there”
I’m the lifeline for your big soft ass
It’s the trapper puts it in first class

Classic MK, love the way he sings it.

[Love Expresso]

On "You neee-heeed the Trapper Man" he sounds like Gerry Rafferty ..
