This is Mark Knopfler post Dire Straits, the best solo album he has done and showing an incredible maturity in his voice, the album is worth it for 5:15am alone!
Richard W gave it a10:
Agree with other comments, I've always found Knopflers stuff takes a few listens before you get into them, then it does just get better and better - breathtaking, the guy is a genious, people that disagree are actually tonedeaf.

Fantastic, those that don't agree are tonedeaf

Forgot I even had this album. Then played it in the car. Now, can't stop playing it. Every song is fine. Taseful playing, smooth singing. Best album I've heard in years. Pleasant surprise.

I find I have to listen to Mark Knofpler albums several times before you really appreciate how beautiful and emotion filled his songs often are.
