Mark Knopfler will release his eighth solo album this March 16. Entitled Tracker it features 15 new Knopfler songs inspired by a wide range of subjects including Beryl Bainbridge and Basil Bunting. The songs contain Mark's usual wryly but accurately observed vignettes of real life wrapped up in a musical accompaniment of distinctive subtlety. As always, Knopfler allows the musicians space in the recordings to put their own stamp on the material but never interfering in the essence of the song itself.His warm tones of both vocal and guitar combine to give the album it's unique MK feel. A dazzling collection of new songs makes this release possibly his most satisfying solo work so far. The band features Mark Knopfler on guitars, Guy Fletcher on keyboards, John McCusker on fiddle, Mike McGoldrick on whistle and flute, Glenn Worf on bass and Ian Thomas on drums. Guest musicians include Ruth Moody (from The Wailin Jennys) on vocals, Nigel Hitchcock on saxophone and Phil Cunningham on accordion.Tracks Listing1. Laughs and Jokes and Drinks and Smokes2. Basil3.
