Mark Knopfler at his best

Review Score: (10/10)
I really enjoyed this CD. I have been a unabashed fan of Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits and practically own all their albums. Mark Knopfler is always out with something different, that it is well worth the wait.

I loved "what it is","sailing to Philadelphia","prairie wedding", but the best song on CD is "silvertown blues" (the guitar work here reminded me of some of Dire Straits old albums viz brothers in arms and on every street). How does Mark come up with those excellent lyrics of his?

A must buy for any Dire Straits fan.
