Kill to Get Crimson

by: Mark Knopfler

Release Date September 18, 2007
This is a Awesome CD by a Fantastic Artist! All of Mark Knopflers CD's are very good. But, This one is my personal favorite! I have always liked Artists who do there own thing. And, M.K. is definitely in that group. So, To Hell With The Critics!

Sailing to Philadelphia

This is a wonderful portfolio of what Mark Knofler can do musically. No two songs are alike and the music covers everthing from ballad to blues. Definitely worth the price of purchase.

Shangri-La

by: Mark Knopfler

Release Date September 28, 2004
Absolutely love 80% of it. Favorites are 5:15 AM, Boom, like that, Song for Sonny Liston, Postcards from Paraguay and Don't crash the ambulance. Could do without the slower pieces, but I can listen to the whole CD once a day. So glad he does what he does. One CD every 18 months. Please keep it going, Mark. Would love to hear you do an entire CD with spanish guitar. Seems like you've mellowed over time and written better story songs, but your guitar riffs are what bring tears to my eyes. Wife is now a big fan and I'm working on the kids. They love your stuff too.

Private Investigations: The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler

by: Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler

Release Date November 15, 2005
Dire Straits compilation is quite a masterpiece of their work, starting from their early times to the most recent album; Great for those who have not followed DS through the time and good to have for those who have.

Real Live Roadrunning (with DVD)

by: Mark Knopfler, Emmylou Harris

Release Date November 14, 2006
1. The music on the CD and the DVD is flat-out wonderful. Heavy, constant rotation on the in-home and in-car music systems. Can't get Romeo and Juliet out of my head. Boulder to Birmingham and Red Dirt Girl are stunning. Get a towel for If This is Goodbye (and note the commentary on this tune in the DVD interview).

2. The DVD is more problematic. Great interview segment with Knopfler and Harris. Well produced, good commentary, a cool production space that it was shot in. A mix of points of view, video and stills and a well mixed audio track make it interesting and entertaining.

But the concert video, now that's a different story. It's clear that the production was done with good gear, you can occasionally see some of it moving around ... Read More:

Neck and Neck

Why didn't I get this sooner?... This disc seems like a delightful, easy-going jam between Knofler and Atkins. Very enjoyable.

Golden Heart

by: Mark Knopfler

Release Date March 26, 1996
I believe this is Knopfler's best all around solo effort ... it's beautiful, tender, aggressive at times and just wonderful as a whole. He is such a genius and his guitar playing shines through pretty much every song along with his subtle understated vocals. Really excellent...way to go Mark!

The Ragpicker's Dream

by: Mark Knopfler

Release Date October 01, 2002
Mark Knopfler is a gem and remains one of the most enduring icons of real talent in a world of fleeting mediocrity. This CD is as solid as ever, is beautifully mastered, and easy to listen to. But, it takes no risks, shows none of the searing energy that used to make the hair stand up on the back of my neck, and simply does not showcase his limitless talent. I listen to Dire Straits religiously and crank up the volume like I'm still 20 years old. I listen to this CD once in a while. The old Mark Knopfler - the guy that stood toe to toe with Clapton at Knebworth and whipped the crowd into a frenzy - seems forever gone, and I miss him. I wish HE would record another CD, because DAMN that guy was good.
