Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is a great 2 disc cd Mark Knopfler is a great musician & songwriter I really enjoyed if you are a fan of his music I would recommend.

Description

‘Privateering’ is Mark Knopfler's seventh album of his solo career (having also recorded many soundtracks and collaborations since his days leading the hugely successful group, Dire Straits). 20 new songs were recorded at the artist's British Grove Studios in London with the following players: Richard Bennett (guitar), Jim Cox (piano) Guy Fletcher (keyboards), John McCusker (fiddle) and Mike McGoldrick (whistle and flute), Glenn Worf (bass) and Ian Thomas (drums).

In addition to what has become Mark's long-time house band, hand-picked guest aces include Kim Wilson (harmonica) of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Tim O'Brien (mandolin), singer Ruth Moody of The Wailin' Jennys, Paul Franklin (pedal steel) and Scotland's Phil Cunningham (accordion).

Produced by Mark and assisted by co-producers Chuck Ainlay and Guy Fletcher, ‘Privateering’ is the guitarist / singer / songwriter's first double-disc of originals. The myriad of pieces cover a wide variety of subjects seen through the eyes of many characters, evoking locations on both sides of the Atlantic and moving through a number of genres, including several blues tunes.
