Mark and his Dobro guitar.
Always loved this one... Dire Straits made some beautiful music.
Great song.
Fantastic...
Brothers in Arms is one of my favorite albums.
Mark Knopfler is one of the best!
Besides Dire Straits, he has played with Chet Atkins, Eric Clapton, Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, and a lot others, many times without recognition. He also played with several bands that only had a local or regional following. I believe Brewer’s Drop was his original band. His playing crosses all musical genres. However, “Sultans of Swing” will always be my favorite. The beat and guitar rhythms, along with the smooth voice, is simply fantastic.
Absolutely adore this song, brilliant, beautiful, brings tears to my eyes……
“Whatcha gonna do about it?.?”
Man that is good music. Thanks for sharing.
Watch the YouTube videos of him singing Telegraph Road and Once a Time in the West.
Always thought “Walk of Life” was a great tune.
What a great tune. That whole album was good.
Saw him live a few years back. Fantastic!
I love this song. I think the Indigo Girls version has more emotion, but the original is even better for having heard it.
