About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

It took Mark Knopfler more than six years to craft a followup to Dire Straits' international chart-topper, Brothers In Arms, but though On Every Street sold in the expected multi-millions worldwide on the back of the band's renown and a year-long tour, it was a disappointment. Knopfler remained a gifted guitar player with tastes in folk ("Iron Hand"), blues ("Fade To Black"), and rockabilly ("The Bug"), among other styles, but much of the album was low-key to the point of being background music. The group had long-since dwindled to original members Knopfler and bassist John Illsley, plus a collection of semi-permanent sidemen who provided support but no real musical chemistry. The closest thing to a successor to "Money For Nothing," the big hit from Brothers In Arms, was the sarcastic rocker "Heavy Fuel." It became an album rock radio favorite (though not a chart single), and fans still filled stadiums to hear "Sultans Of Swing," but On Every Street was not the comeback it should have been.

October 19, 2006: This album clearly is a HALLMARK, in that it displays groundbeaking melancholic and melodic trancedence, . In my opinion, this album (was) by a long shot,the best album of the 90's/.

May 15, 2005: This is the best DS CD of all time! I prefer both Love over Gold, & On the Night with this album. The songs are so amazing. My favorite cuts on this album are Calling Elvis, On Every Street, The Bug, Heavy Fuel, My Parties, & the great Planet of New Orleans. Others are great like When It Comes to You, Fade to Black, & You and Your Friend. In my opinion, the songs I don't like are Iron Hand, Ticket to Heaven, & How Long. In my opinion those 3 are the weakest songs on this album. The tracks I can play over N' over again are The Bug, Heavy Fuel, & My Parties. Go out and buy this CD with Love over Gold, Making Movies, & On the Night.
