Description
A low whistle curls around Haul Away, under Mark Knopfler’s sandpaper whisper and loping guitar. Privateering, his first double set, was cut at British Grove with the long-serving band, and it plays like a calm, lived-in travelogue. Redbud Tree slips in on hushed fingerpicking before the melody blooms, while Corned Beef City swings with pub-blues swagger and a sly guitar break that grins then gets out of the way.
This 2LP pressing does the material a favour. The arrangements finally get the space they ask for, and the low end sits deeper without smudging the voices. Stereo imaging feels more three-dimensional on the quieter pieces. You can shelve it beside Richard Thompson and the more acoustic corner of your 70s British folk-rock section, where the storytelling and touch are the draw.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Mark Knopfler records online with us. Sessions this unhurried reward late-night spins in Melbourne flats or slow weekend mornings, when small details rise up and the band’s restraint makes perfect sense.
Privateering isn’t chasing hits; it’s a songwriter and studio lifer doing what he does best, track by track, with pipes, fiddle and piano colouring the edges just enough. Buy Mark Knopfler records online today or call past Preston to grab a copy.
