Thanks Ed, I agree that the first time I listened to the LP I did not rave about the content, but after hearing it a second time, I started realizing that this is a great album. I feel the LP has stunning sound quality. My favorite cuts are "You Don't Know You're Born" and "Coyote". I love the opening bass on "Coyote". Knopfler never needs flashy guitar work. He just knows where to place notes for the greatest effect. That makes him one of my favorite guitarists
Mark Knopfler's Ragpickers Dream-heard it?
I have had this import LP on order from Music Direct for months, and I finally got it the other day. If you are a fan of Knopfler or Dire Straits, this is a must have record. The guitar work is more understated than some of the Dire Straits records, but Knopfler makes every note count. The LP deals with the working man's trials and tribulations. Knopfler's voice has a "in the room"quality. This is a great recording for a revealing high resolution system.
