Free Music Review: Knopfler is King
Hit: 5 Stars
This new album once again proves that Mark Knopfler is one of the premier songwriters working today. These aren't just songs--they're stories. He makes you see the characters--like the Scaffolder's Wife, or the kid learning to waltz for the upcoming Christmas dance-- real people. Knopfler is a treasure in a world of throwaway junk.Free Music Review: Pub Music

To me, the mood of this CD is a continuation of the one established in "The Ragpicker's Dream", maybe a little more on the mellow side. Poignant lyrics, pretty melodies and masterful musicianship all contribute to a nice collection, one that 'grows on you' over time. I would love to be sitting in a warm pub on a dreary day with a pint or two, listening to Mark and his band playing these songs. The folk waltz, "Heart Full Of Holes" contains one of the best musical themes that I've heard in any of his songs - I can envision a roomful of folks raising their glasses and swaying to the accordian-tinged carousel music in the bridge.Free Music Review: The maestro of Sprechgesang does it again

Mark Knopfler's latest offering is an amazing collection. The usual guitar riffs that are his signatures are all here. What amazes me is the amazing depth of this album. The piece "Heart full of holes" always tugs at my heart. While this album sounds more British than his previous couple of albums, it is definitely one of his more mature works. All the songs are great, but there are a couple that really stand out: "Heart full of Holes", and "Secondary Waltz" come to mind right away. Cheers Mark, and thanks a million!Free Music Review: Great Sounds

I have always been a Knopfler fan. This album is along the line with his records with Emmy Lou Harris. He always tells a story and the voice and gutiar work together in perfect harmony. Highly recommend it to someone who likes folk and roots music.Free Music Review: Two Sets of Songs - One Good, One Not

I am a MK fan. But as noted in a couple of the reviews, some of these songs are boring. 'Kill to Get Crimson' seems like a mix of 2 sets of songs. Set one contains MK songs that are very good. Set one is tracks 1, 5, 7, 9, 10, and 11. The other set of songs seem like a filler of some sort of Gaelic genre that are fairly boring.
