Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits

If you love Dire Straits Brother in Arms and you don't own the JVC XRCD version of it you are in for a treat. Positively the definitve reference recording of Dire Straits! You can find it at www.amusicdirect.com

IMO the Vertigo label CD's sound better than the Warner Brothers disks.

The remastered disc is outstanding. Mark K's timing is great. There is a lot going on between the notes! Check out Eric Clapton's latest "REPTILE"

I am a HUGE Dire Straits fan as well all the albums listed above I own. One more album that you may be interested in is the Notting Hillbillies, Missing... Presumed having a good time. It features Knopfler as well as Buddy Guy.

Great tunes with typical Knopfler riffs and toe taping sound. Great recording as well.

Hi-
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention a few other Mark Knopfler albums. The Dire Straits album "On Every Street" is, IMHO, better than "Brothers In Arms." Also, the first Mark Knopfler solo LP, "Golden Heart" is very good.
If you like live albums that are well recorded, try the Dire Straits double LP "On The Night" or the hard-to-find European Mark Knopfler solo live "Break Of Day." They are both very good.
If you're not tired of MK yet, try one of his collaboration albums:
"Neck And Neck" with the late, great, Chet Atkins.
"Missing... Presumed Having A Good Time" by Mark & a bunch of his old school chums who call themselves The Notting Hillbillies. Both of those are country flavored, but very well done.
If you like cajun-flavored rock, try one of MK's buddies: "South Of I-10" by Sonny Landreth, quite possibly the best slide guitar player in the world.
Last word. (Promise) Try any album by any of these artists, since they have yet to release a bad album amoung them:
John Hiatt
Lucinda Williams
Marc Cohn
Richard Thompson

Long winded, but passionate...
