    Rating:
    New solo album from Mark Knopfler, former frontman of Dire Straits. What we're talking about here is soft blues-rock ala 80's/90's Dire Straits, with some country influences here and there, although not very exciting. I had expectations on this album, but I'm sorry to say it disappoints. It's not much here that I haven't heard before, actually the only tracks that keeps me playing this album from time to time are the first two ones. Ok it's not so bad that I turn off after tracks 1-2, but the rest of the album makes you fall into a sleepy state of mind. Only buy if cheap.
