Privateering

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the first double album of his illustrious career, the former Dire Straits frontman delves incredibly deep into the foundational roots of American and British folk music. The sprawling, twenty-track collection seamlessly drifts between smoky, heavily electric Delta blues structures and delicate, Celtic-inspired acoustic ballads. It masterfully showcases his remarkably distinct, conversational vocal delivery and unparalleled, finger-picked guitar virtuosity within a mature, deeply organic setting.
