Product Description: 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

Customer Reviews
I miss Dire Straights...
Knopfler is one of the best guitarists and songwriters on planet earth. But I expected more.....I wish his old band was still together.

Awesome!
This is a Awesome CD by a Fantastic Artist! All of Mark Knopflers CD's are very good. But, This one is my personal favorite! I have always liked Artists who do there own thing. And, M.K. is definitely in that group. So, To Hell With The Critics!

Zzzzzzzzz
I love Mark Knopfler music...I thought. What I love is his guitar, which apparently has been relegated to 40 seconds of low key filler at the end of each song.
The songs: pleasant to boring. Mark, for the love of Jesus, please find your guitar mojo and bring it back.

Etched
I just heard the new album by The Dreaming called Etched in Blood and I think that if you like this CD you should for sure check it out. The Dreaming has a unique mix of punk, metal, and darkwave capturing emotional rock. It really is one of my favorite albums of 2008 so far. Check it out.

...y el rock???
Mark es único...y su música tiene una sensibilidad especial, asi como su ejecución de la guitarra...solo quienes le seguimos extrañamos el rock en sus albumes recientes muy centrados en el folk y country.
La variedad musical de un disco como Sailing to Philadelphia no la ha vuelto a repetir, pero sabemos que lo hará en cualquier momento.
Este señor es sin lugar a dudas uno de los guitarristas más grandes de todos los tiempos.
