A (relatively) in-depth analysis of singer, songwriter and musician Mark Knopfler (in just under 15 minutes). As the front man of Dire Straits and later a composer of film soundtracks and solo artist, Knopfler is exceptionally skilled on the guitar, celebrated for his trademark fingerstyle technique and distinctive sound. As a songwriter, he is known for his unique blend of folk, roots, pub rock and country music. In April 2024, Knopfler released his tenth solo album, One Deep River. The album was followed by a standalone EP for Record Store Day called The Boy, containing four exclusive songs composed around the theme of boxing and fairgrounds. According to Spotify 'Mark Knopfler is an acclaimed singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose distinctive blend of rock, country, blues, and other roots traditions bears a sonic stamp all his own.' https://www.markknopfler.com In this episode I am in conversation with Dr. Andrew Webber.
