Zitat:When they agreed the unwritten law that time-honored artists with brilliant track records get less creative as they go on, Mark Knopfler obviously wasn”t paying attention. He was too busy writing, recording, touring and enjoying it all.
So as we approach the end of the first decade of the 21st century, and other multi-million-sellers nudge their careers forward at a snail”s pace, Knopfler prepares to release his fifth studio album of the decade, and it”s another jewel.
Get Lucky, recorded at his award-winning British Grove Studios in west London and co-produced with longtime cohorts Chuck Ainlay and Guy Fletcher, is a beautifully crafted exploration of a lifetime of musical roots.
Fluently combining folk and blues with his original songwriting, the whole containing personalized British ingredients and vivid observational lyricism.
Zitat:Am 14. September bringt Mark Knopfler sein neues Studioalbum “Get Lucky” auf den Markt. Der Nachfolger zum 2007 erschienenen “Kill to get Crimson” enthält elf Songs. Zusätzlich erscheint “Get Lucky” in einer Deluxe-Version, die unter anderem drei Bonustracks und ein Guitar Pick beinhaltet.
