NotesDeluxe edition includes three bonus tracks. 2018 release. Mark Knopfler's ninth solo studio album Down The Road Wherever features unhurriedly elegant new songs inspired by a wide range of subjects, including his early days in Deptford with Dire Straits, a stray football fan lost in a strange town, and the compulsion of a musician hitching home through the snow. Mark has a poet's eye for telling details that infuse his songs with his unique psychogeography - 'where the Delta meets the Tyne' as he describes it - and his warm Geordie vocal tone and his deft, richly melodic guitar playing are as breathtaking and thrilling as ever.
As a diehard fan of MK I had high expectations of another album full of memorable songs. However I could only find a few out of 15 that I would consider putting on a playlist. Gone are the pipes and flourish of an international ensemble. This will probably be his last album and I wish it were more listenable.
Down the Road Wherever - Absolutely truckin' music!!!!
Mark Knopfler has a unique style of guitar playing and singing to match. The song lyrics will speak to the listener about their personal experience or relate them to the experience of others so that they understand the message and emotions. I would recommend this and other music by Mark and Dire Straits to anyone. Get some of their music, you won't regret it.
