A closer look at Mark Knopfler' s career shows that his talents extend far beyond his work with Dire Straits. He's produced records for the likes of Bob Dylan and Tina Turner, cultivated a reputation as a sought-after session player, and written and recorded scores and soundtracks, all on top of establishing a respectable second act as a solo artist...

The Van's Not Too Strong Sometime after Dire Straits hit the big time, Mark Knopfler began to think smaller. Knopfler started his outfit as a "pub rock" quartet with clean-toned finger-picked electric guitars and a minor hit, "Sultans of Swing". In less than ten years time, a hit album would change all of that. Brothers in Arms spawned two enormously successful singles as the band were packing in stadiums from miles around...

Privateers were essentially pirates who had received temporary dispensation (often in times of war) from a king, a governor, or the regent of a particular trading company--"Licensed to take prizes with a letter from the king," as Mark Knopfler sings on the title track of his new double album, Privateering...

Despite more than a quarter of a century passing since the release of Dire Straits' gargantuan Brothers In Arms album, its three-word title will arguably remain the shorthand with which Knopfler will be identified until his dying day - such is the curse of 30 million worldwide sales. However, his new album tends to doff an occasional cap in the direction of the group's earlier, more humble output...

Mark Knopfler will always be known as the lead guitarist and songwriter for British rock band Dire Straits, but his solo work since that band disbanded in 1995 means he should be remembered for a lot more than just that. Privateering is Knopfler's seventh solo effort - discounting side projects and his work on several soundtracks - and it only goes to show how prolific he has been since his old band met its demise...

Mark Knopfler is one of those names. You know, one of those names that people are always going to associate with a certain instrument, and a certain song or two. And for Mark, it's the guitar, and probably "Money for Nothing" or "Sultans of Swing". You know, the classics from the days of Dire Straits...

Imagine the fuss if Chris Martin decided now was the time to finish Coldplay and then the following years and years of calls for a reunion. When a singer decides to end the career of a band it is often a brave move and it does not come much braver than when Mark Knopfler put Dire Straits into retirement back in 1995. At the time the band were still one of the biggest in the world, after shifting 30 million copies of Brothers In Arms alone...

"Redbud Tree," a highlight of Mark Knopfler's eighth solo album, could've been written 100 years ago. But given our ecocrisis, this tree-hugging folk gem, embossed with a shimmering fingerpicked Strat, feels cannily modern. Knopfler's sueded voice has changed little since his 1980s heyday, and his elegant electric-guitar work sounds better than ever...
