    Mark Knopfler may be the most famous person I’ve shaken hands with. Today is his 72nd birthday and I just read he’s working on a new album. Can’t wait!
    Speedway at Nazareth starts out like a gentle country tune but transforms into a blizzard of musical genius. I remember seeing it live before hearing the album it’s from. It was cool, but when the second part kicks in, I was blown away.
    That time I met him. I was invited backstage as I’d worked with Guy Fletcher. He showed us into a cantina, offered us beer and we sat down talking. Mark came in, Guy told him I was the one that had done that film they’d been talking about. “Oh, great! Hi, I’m Mark,” he said. As if I didn’t know. As if anyone wouldn’t know. He was calm, composed, friendly and had an aura of greatness. But then, this is the man behind Dire Straits. Don’t know if great people have this aura or if they develop it. Whatever it is, he has it.
    Mark was then on his merry way, but we were joined by the drummer, Danny Cummings. A fantastic fun, he was. Totally love him.
    All in all, a down to earth band, great people and mind blowing musicians.

    I know nothing about guitar, so I started to love Mark Knopfler firstly as a songwriter and storyteller. But here the guitar is part of the storytelling. Can you imagine if we just had the lyrics-focused first half of the song? It would end with just "at the speedway at Nazareth I made no mistake." And you would think, "Good, but is that all the detail we're getting?" The instrumental fills in the rest of the details - the speed, tension, and exultation of the race at Nazareth. It tells you the whole thing. It's brilliant.

      Dude, you haven't heard half of Mark Knopfler's works lol
      I have to admit tho that this particular song is a perfect marriage in collaboration with Emmylou Harris.
      It trully is one of my favourite recordings!
      After the split up of Dire Straits into more recent years Mark has been seeking more and more contemplative music and sought into directions of the south (Country music, South America, South Europe,...) .. as if at the same time going boing back and expanding to his his starting years - playing in pubs - paired with everything he's learned AS WELL as respecting both the origin as the search of the origin of music styles AND with one eye on the reverance of the value of history!!
      At least that is what I have perceived it and I am one of the people who's loved his music even more because of that.
      Mark Knopfler's music has found ground, decided to grow, found succes and is ripening even further like fine wine! and I am LOVING IT.
      Mark Knopfler to me is a true icon in mine and (imho) modern musicial history.

    Of all the great artists out there who give me musical goosebumps - I have to say Mark is the absolute best at creating and stirring emotions. Every song - every drip of sound from his guitar and mouth is moving. Sometimes he mumbles and I dont know what he says - but Im into it.
    He's a blessing for everyone who's heard and appreciates him.
    As a guitarist and songwriter myself - Ive always set my sights on ppl like Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix but lately Ive come to realize Mark really shows what it means to be an artist. Those other guys do too of course but Mr K embodies what it means to get on stage and move people with music.

      Especially the build up is important for the pay off to have effect. Formularic music today mostly have instant gratification/a hook to begin with and several other "pangs" happening every few seconds. The craziest example I ever saw was Prince at the brit awards in 2006 or 2007. People were screaming and yelling at several "artists" performing. I think the "Fratellis" and "Orson" got awards. You remember them, right? (sarcasm)
      It was truly pathetic watching the kareoke shows go on and on.
      Not a great Prince fan but he just blew everything away when he got on stage and played live.

    If I was marooned on an island and could only have the music from one artist, it would be Mark Knopfler. He is so diverse and amazing with his lyrics, and an absolute master of the guitar.

      @@furioussherman7265 Right on! No worries. Apparently, Knopfler is a fan, but Indy Car is such a niche sport anymore, most folks who are semi-cognizant of auto racing might think NASCAR (or F1) is the only game in town. Being from Indy, and having been effectively raised at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway since the late 60's, this tune has special meaning for me. I DO wish Knopfler hadn't mumbled his way through this version, though. Cheers, mate!
