Sailing to Philadelphia
Date undefinedCaptured here is a struggle, lives found, singing guitar..still I find "Baloney Again" a tribute to Black survival only a true bluesman could create. Props to the Knoph. That's what it is. Greatness.

Date undefinedThis is a wonderful portfolio of what Mark Knofler can do musically. No two songs are alike and the music covers everthing from ballad to blues. Definitely worth the price of purchase.
Sailing to Philadelphia
Date undefinedI'm one of Mark Knopfler's biggest fans(and have been since i first heard "Sultans Of Swing" back in '78) and I have to say that I don't think he's ever put out an album better than this one. It amazes me from first song to last. As ever, he writes stories,not just throwaway lyrics to support the melody.A couple of good examples here---The title track wherein he teaches all of us a little about American history(the two men who mapped out the Mason-Dixon Line) and the one describing a mail order bride and her pioneer husband starting a new life together. Start to finish an amazing piece of work worthy of his prodigious songwriting talent.
