About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

On hiatus from Dire Straits, guitarist Mark Knopfler joined with Brendan Croker, Steve Phillips, and Guy Fletcher for 1990's Missing...Presumed Having a Good Time. The result is a low-key, joyous run-through of mostly traditional, blues-based songs with a handful of originals. Despite the high-profile presence of Knopfler, the Notting Hillbillies succeed in sounding like a band with Knopfler often taking a backseat to his bandmates, although he does sing lead on the lovely "Your Own Sweet Way." The styles range from the gorgeous harmonies of "Railroad Worksong" with some mournful guitar from Knopfler, to the '50s-style rock ballad "Bewildered," to the breezy, tropical-flavored "One Way Gal." Missing...Presumed Having a Good Time is a delightful record that doesn't overstay its welcome. Tom Demalon, All Music Guide

February 19, 2008: This is one of my all time favorites. I wish they would have recorded more together, but then again maybe not. It's doubtful if they could have topped this one, so they might have detracted from their legend.

January 31, 2003: My son bought this music and I had never heard of this group before. I loved it. I especially like "Will You Miss Me" it has a beautiful, haunting, sad/sweet sound. The instrumentals on the whole thing are great.
