Free Music Notes for Kill to Get Crimson
Free Music Review: Mellow, melancholy album tells tales with excellent guitar work
Hit: 4 Stars
Mark Knopfler's "Kill to Get Crimson" is about as far away from the amped-up Dire Straits albums of the late 80s and early 90s as you can get. Virtually none of the pep from "Walk of Life" can be found - instead we're faced with an album of quiet, mellow tunes replete with meaningful lyrics and soulful guitars.
And that's a good thing.
This is one of those albums that's a perfect accompaniment for driving by yourself on a quiet rainy afternoon, or sitting by the fire half-reading a magazine while thinking about life, or enjoying some quiet time with friends and loved ones. The songs tell stories that should be listened to and thought about - no repetitive rock-anthem stuff here. And each song is backed by Knopfler's trademark guitar - always a pleasure.
While perhaps not an album with universal appeal, it sure as heck will be keep finding its way to the top of your playlist or back into the CD shuffle tray. Check it out.
Kill to Get Crimson Poster
Building on last year's Grammy?-nominated All The Roadrunning collaboration with Emmylou Harris, his highest charting non Dire Straits album to date Top 20 Pop, scanning 400,000 copies in the U.S. acclaimed singer-songwriter guitarist Mark Knopfler unveils his fifth solo album, Kill To Get Crimson. While certain to appeal to his loyal fan base, the album's artful guitar rock will also entice new fans to Knopfler's signature sound (he's #27 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time), instantly recognizable vocals and smart lyrics. A multiple-Grammy winner who has sold more than 110 million albums worldwide, Knopfler remains one of rock's most admired artists.Mark Knopfler Photos

Three decades after Dire Straits broke onto the scene with their remarkable debut, Mark Knopfler remains an iconic figure in popular music, his graceful guitar playing equaled only by his genial baritone and a novelist's ability to create distinct characters and themes in his songs. His fifth solo album since he pulled the plug on the band in 1995, Crimson reflects on a torrent of narratives, from the gracefully aging spouse in the flute-powered ballad "The Scaffolder's Wife" to the valiant down-and-outer in the Scottish folk song "Heart Full of Holes." Employing accordions, fiddles, and horns as majestic accompaniment, Knopfler drifts into the Celtic-tinged melodies of his past, explicitly in the whiskey-soaked singalong "Secondary Waltz," the busker's saga "Madame Geneva's," and "The Fish and the Bird," with its vagabond pensiveness. Clocking in at just under an hour, the album--without any page-turning epic--plays instead like an anthology of written works, every personification crisp in definition, every story exquisitely told. --Scott Holter
