Dire Straits sixth and final album as a band after a six year haitus...
i got this after strong recommendations from Jerome...
not strictly a Dire Straits sounding album,more of a Knopfler solo set IMO as it bridges the gap between their sounds and that of his country flavoured
solo sets...not that it sounds strictly country neither...
there are a few tracks on here that use the sax and their trademark solos in true Knopfler style...
all up, a very good album that i dismissed when originally released becuase i didnt 'get' the "calling elvis" and "heavy fuel" singles...
