The period between the end of the World Series and the start of Spring training is referred to by old-time baseball people as The Hot Stove League.
I am writing this music blog post with Winter Storm Juno perched to drop two feet or more snow on us. Music Hot Stove League thoughts turn to Spring 2015 recordings coupled with live music performances.
As I listen to Mark Knopfler’s cannon of music I gain a sharp appreciation for the depth and precision of his guitar playing. Both the Dire Straits recordings as well as the Mark Knopfler solo recordings command instant respect.
Tracker is Mark Knopfler’s eighth solo recording. It will be released on March 17th, 2015 in North America by Verve Records. The album features 11 new songs inspired by a wide range of subjects including Beryl Bainbridge and Basil Bunting. The songs contain Mark’s usual wryly but accurately observed vignettes of real life wrapped up in a musical accompaniment of distinctive subtlety.
