Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Not just a bunch of fickle tunes for fickle fans Comment: Gone now are those marvelous guitar solos, charged with energy yet seemingly effortlessly controlled as, for instance, the Basel live version of "Sultans of Swing". But still very apparent in this CD is the ability to tell a story in a song and to express emotion on the guitar. Knopfler has moved on, and although the youthful energy is no longer there, his art has not diminished, and that puts him in another league from any other musician that I know. The quality of the music is toned down but still very apparent. Some of the story songs are certainly by comparison to his classic stuff a bit quaint - like "The Scaffolder's Wife" and "Secondary Waltz" - and they are not the stuff that invites listening over and over again. But they are well done and not just throwaways, although perhaps they require the listener to be beyond a certain age. The rest of the CD has a lot more understatement and more staying power. Songs such as "Behind with the Rent" and "In the Sky" are gems that are beautifully done. As a whole the lyrics are subtle and clever. The guitar says much in a quiet way. Customer Rating: Summary: Superb storytelling Comment: The lyrics and the scenes described are just wonderful. Listen and you will understand. Customer Rating: Summary: Superb Music Comment: Mark Knopfler is a fine musician with highly developed skills as a producer. I admire and respect his hard work as I do his humanity. Customer Rating: Summary: Why Isn't This Guy Well Known? Comment: What a great CD! Great guitar, insightful lyrics, Great Beat and it's easy to dance to. I give it a 98%. Customer Rating: Summary: I miss Dire Straights... Comment: Knopfler is one of the best guitarists and songwriters on planet earth. But I expected more.....I wish his old band was still together.
