Members Kid Klash Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 It doesn't officially come out until tomorrow (Tuesday, 9-18-07) in my neck of the woods. I'm going to buy a copy in the morning. Looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobster Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 Heard it at work tonight (record store). Seemed ok but I think I was more impressed by the last two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DenverDave Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 What style is the music on the CD?? Acoustic? Electric? Mix of the two?? He is an awesome player, but I like his DS stuff better than the solo stuff I have heard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zappa74 Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 I've played through it twice and it's just a little too soft for me. To be fair, it is hard to beat Shangri-la. That's a great album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 To be fair, it is hard to beat Shangri-la. That's a great album. I may have to give that one a try. I've been a little turned away from his solo stuff since I bit on "Saling to Philadelphia". That CD just didn't grab me. But still, I'm a fan of his playing and tone. For his softer non DS stuff, I like this album: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stinkhorn Posted September 18, 2007 Members Share Posted September 18, 2007 Yeah shangri la is an absolutely superb album, I agree. His best solo work ever I think, rife with his trademark cynicism. Seems he has mellowed a bit with age and his songwriting has improved to a masterful level. Can't wait to hear this new one!

Members GretschGuy Posted September 18, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 18, 2007 Shangri-La is my fav but Ragpicker's Dream is pretty damn good. I like Sailing to Philidelphia and Golden Heart too though. Great player. I have seen him in Rudy's quite a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faber Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 Just bought this one - Don't like it one bit. far too laid back and downright sleep inducing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bluesidae Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 ^ I agree(d). At first I did not like it at all. Play it a few times and it will grow on you. I appreciate this CD for its subtle aspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faber Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 yeah, I expect to give it a few more spins. I *know* Knopfler solo isn't exactly party music, and I've loved some of his other discs (Sailing..., Ragpickers Dream, Shangri La), this one is just sooooo darned mellow.

Members Josh S Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 Knopfler solo is what I had always hoped Clapton would mature into... ie, an amazing guitarist who writes amazing songs. At his best, Clapton absolutely slays Knopfler in songwriting (at least, pop songwriting), but he hasn't hit it out of the park in a while. I find it really hard to listen to Knopfler solo sometimes, simply because his tone is so goddamned fantastic that it makes me as jealous as {censored} I can't even believe the tones he gets sometimes. They don't seem human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackHatHunter Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 I love it. Though I still prefer All the roadrunning with Emmylou. And JJ, you're right. The Notting Hillbillies album - Missing... presumed having a good time - was a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
