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.
