Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Conceived (so it was rumoured) as a riposte to the George Harrison-led Travelling Wilburys, Mark Knopfler's one-off side-project was actually an attempt to acknowledge the importance of American country music--from bluegrass through to white gospel--in the evolution of rock and roll. Joined by fellow guitarists Brendan Croker and Steve Phillips--and by Dire Straits keyboardist Guy Fletcher--the result was an affectionate, occasionally over-reverent collection: a showcase for acoustic guitar virtuosity and endangered notions of songcraft. In terms of mood, tracks like "Bewildered" and "Your Own Sweet Way" were not so far removed from the increasingly mellow, introspective sound of the later Dire Straits albums--though this group's smooth four-part harmonies helped overcome the inherent limitations of Knopfler's gravelly murmur. Unsurprisingly, however, it made more of an impact at home that in the US, where this brand of folksy traditionalism seemed both archaic and redundant. --Andrew McGuire

5.0 out of 5 stars IF YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT MUSIC - YOU SHOULDN'T BE WITHOUT IT, 19 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This is one of the all time classic albums. It wasn't ever at the top although it should've been - it'll never get to the top although it should do. A sublime blend of country/western/blues/Dire Straits...ish kinda music. Treat yourself to this album and a bottle of Jack Daniels and take the afternoon off work to listen and enjoy.....trust me.....you'll love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Missing - presumed, 12 Jul 2003
Very good, if you like laid back country/blues music buy it you will have no regrets. However it lacks that sprinkling of angel dust that makes a JJ Cale recording great.

5.0 out of 5 stars superb knopfler, 17 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Missing...Presumed Having a Good Time (Audio CD)
This is a stunning album, a combination of clasic folk songs (given a new twist) and new songs which should be old folk songs. A lot different than the Dire Straits material, but this just shows the range of the gnius that is MK. Buy it!
