Nov 21, 2012Saw him with Bob Dylan this week in Philly. He and his fantastic band put on a great show. He played many songs from this wonderful record. Go buy this. It's diverse and really shows off his skills as a singer, writer and player. Did I mention that the band is great?

Oct 16, 2012Saw excerpts from this on tour w Bob Dylan recently. Absolutely fabulous. I referred to it as Van Morrison on steroids (in a good way). Crazy good songs, each person accompanied with various obscure folk instruments etc. Definitely recommend this one.

Dec 14, 2012His best solo effort to date. So many great songs, impeccable guitar by MK plus his band is just so good. Saw him with Dylan recently. Knopfler and his band stole the show. I'm so glad he is continuing to write excellent songs and perform them live. He's a treasure.
