  I don’t think Mark Knopfler gets nearly enough credits for his Solo work/career. Truly one of the greatest musicians to ever live imo.

  The studio version of this has James Taylor doing the 2nd voice, Mark does Dixon and James does Mason. Danny Cummings who is on drums here was the percussionist on the reaction you did before with &quot;Calling Elvis&quot; live. If you want to see Marks guitar style even better you should see &quot;Song for Sonny Liston&quot; from the AVO session 2007, it was really filmed well there.

  I love your reactions, thanks so much. Fantastic track, MK the best in my opinion of getting everything just so in his playing

  I love Dire Straits so much but for me Mark&apos;s solo work just goes from strength to strength, he really sells us the stories of times long forgotten and in such a way you almost smell and taste the eras he chooses to tell tales about

  The band he has now began forming in 1996 and has really only gained members since. Much longer than any iteration of Dire Straits. And as far as studio musicians go his bass player is generally considered the best in Nashville. Just love it when they get together every few years and gift us mere mortals with some great tunes.

  This is such a great storytelling song. A bit of a history lesson about the two English surveyors Mason and Dixon. I like the studio version with Mark singing the part of Dixon and James Taylor singing the part of Mason, but the live versions are extra special with the pairing of Mark&apos;s guitar and John McCusker&apos;s tin whistle? Like you said it sounds straight out of the Shire :) and I always think the brushes on drums are like waves against the hull of a ship as it sails.
