Album Notes & Community Reviews

The fourth solo release from the former Dire Straits frontman is a profoundly mellow, roots-oriented affair recorded following a serious motorcycle accident. Knopfler delivers his signature intricate fingerpicking and laid-back vocal drawl over largely acoustic, blues, and country-rock arrangements.
