Mark Knopfler's Ragpickers Dream-heard it?

Marbletown is my favorite cut on Ragpickers. A verrrry realistic recording. The title cut on Sailing to Philadelphia recorded with James Taylor is also a favorite.

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

I like the new album.

Too bad his tour had to be cancelled due to his motorcycle accident. However, I have trouble picturing Knopfler riding a racing bike or a cruiser thru the streets of London. RPD gives you the notion of a mellower Knopfler riding a Moped or a Vespa.

P.S. Knopfler doesn't get much credit for his film-score and soundtrack works. Those are real treats.

MK certainly has tremendous talent, and I have "Ragpickers Dream" (CD). I liked it, but didn't love it-- will have to try it again. I really like "Golden Heart" though-- is that the right title? Cheers. Craig

There will never be a Knopfler CD I won't buy immediately, even without hearing it first.

Cheers,
