Mark Knopfler with special guest Jesca Hoop Editorial Review

In Short
Since disbanding hitmakers Dire Straits more than a decade ago, Mark Knopfler has focused his energies on more eclectic work, much of it done in Nashville. The Scottish-born guitar whiz's Americana-flavored new material balances nicely with Dire Straits classics like "Sultans of Swing," "Walk of Life" and the MTV breakthrough "Money for Nothing."
