Mark Knopfler is surely one of the greats. The quickness of the riff at the end of Sultans of Swing. They beauty of songs like this and Romeo & Juliet, Brothers in Arms, on Every Street, etc...surely one of the absolute greats. Not to leave out Local Hero / Wild Theme. I’m a 21st Century kid. If there are any I’m missing please share. I only hope he and David can make up for lost time before it is gone. Beautiful music!!
I recently refurbished my old 1980s era stereo. This is one on the first albums to emerge for renewed enjoyment and I find myself marveling at this song, especially the last couple of minutes, that slowly metered out beat, the xylophone the organ, that piano!--just incredible work. This along with Roxy Music Avalon.
