"Kill to Get Crimson" is Knopfler's newest album I believe.
You might also check out John Scofield. He's a bit more in the jazz realm but also plays great guitar. Start with the "That's What I Say" album which is Ray Charles songs.
Also check out the Bel Airs. They've got a great bar band sound with some good guitar playing. The Morells and Skeletons are also great choices. D. Clinton Thompson is the guitar player in both those bands and he can do some amazing things.
The Timbuk 3 albums also have Knopfler similarities you might like. I'd also third the motion for Chris Rea; he's got a great sound.
If you like the 50's R&R sound, the old Robert Gordon albums (from the late '70s) are great fun with some snazzy guitar work.
