I agree with you.I was completely blown away by this album, "Kill To Get Crimson". I had lost track of Mark Knopfler after Dire Straights. Then I ran across his collaboration with Emmilou Harris on the "Real Live Roadrunning" DVD (also excellent in its own right). Then I found this CD and came away nearly stunned. I had no idea at his skills as a lyricist and a player in this genre of music.He's truly a great.Best,SaintFu
