Mark Knopfler
Privateering
PRIVATEERING, Mark Knopfler’s latest album, his seventh solo recording features twenty new songs that were recorded at the artist’s British Grove Studios in London with the following players: Richard Bennett (guitar), Jim Cox (piano) Guy Fletcher (keyboards), John McCusker (fiddle) and Mike McGoldrick (whistle and flute), Glenn Worf (bass) and Ian Thomas (drums).
In addition to what has become Mark’s long-time house band, hand-picked guest aces include Kim Wilson (harmonica) of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Tim O’Brien (mandolin) singer Ruth Moody of The Wailin’ Jennys, Paul Franklin (pedal steel) and Scotland’s Phil Cunningham (accordion).
Produced by Mark and assisted by co-producers Chuck Ainlay and Guy Fletcher, this is the artist’s first double album of originals. The songs cover a wide variety of subjects seen through the eyes of many characters, evoking locations on both sides of the Atlantic and moving through a number of genres, including several blues originals. ‘PRIVATEERING’ is a soulful and heartfelt collection, each song masterfully performed by a group of outstanding players.
