| | Recordings - Mark Knopfler - Shangri-La |
| | Instead of layering track after track of instruments and vocals, Mark assembled a band of ace musicians together in the studio and recorded the songs live with minimal overdubbing. | | | The results are songs that sound live and rely on the music, not studio tricks or production, to reach the listener. | | | The music is nice mix of mellow, folksy, bluesy, and rock-ish tunes with great playing and catchy melodies. |

| | Mark Knopfler, The Ragpicker's Dream |
| | Never has Knopfler demonstrated such eagerness to explore more varied musical terrain as on the solo albums that ensued, from the fluttering fiddles and bagpipes of Golden Heart to the impassioned acoustic blues of Ragpicker's Dream. | | | When not recording solo, Knopfler is lending a hand on projects by performers as artistically opposed to his pop-rock past as Waylon Jennings, whose final album, Closing in on the Fire, features a ballad to which Knopfler contributes a guitar solo. | | | Brooding, slick guitar solos emerge throughout the album, from the frenetic licks of the sprawling opener and single, "Way Aye Man" to more languid, bluesy tunes such as the title track. |

| | A Shot at Glory by Mark Knopfler |
| | Knopfler’s inclusion of a few songs (in which he provides the vocals) are not entirely unwelcome, and he is certainly an experienced and capable performer. | | | The question that most score-fans will undoubtedly ponder is whether the addition of songs on a mostly score the album ultimately compliment or hinder the purchase of the album on the whole. | | | The CD is, again, a very pleasing investment for those who are fond of that Irish flavor in music, and a decent display of Mark Knopfler’s ability as a composer. |

| | [No title] |
| | Knopflers return to blues has seemed most fitting for the aged guitarist, whose sound was once that of the piercing, electric kind showcased on Dire Straits Brothers In Arms. | | | While styles such as Knopfler's seem to be diminishing, replaced by electronics and grandeur rock, there is still a soothing effect that surrounds an album of this type. | | | While easily the bands best album, it isn't hard to see how Knopfler feels right at home with his tasteful guitar lines, in place of the hard crunch of rock. |

| | George Graham Reviews Mark Knopfler's "Sailing to Philadelphia" |
| | While not as geographically and stylistically diverse as Knopfler's last album, the new production's use of guest vocalists adds an interesting new facet, and working with a regular band adds a degree of musical unity to the album of song that are otherwise fairly unrelated lyrically. | | | Their front-man, lead vocalist and distinctive guitar player was Mark Knopfler, who founded the band with his brother David. | | | As is typical for a Mark Knopfler album, the mix is superb. |

| | Knopfler does some sweet chicken-pickin' on the shit-kickin' Lonnie Donegan tribute "Donegan's Gone", and "Don't Crash the Ambulance" closes out the disc with what could be a stolen serenade from a spaghetti western, with great wry, cryptic lyrics. | | | In 1996, Knopfler's first proper solo album was released to mixed reviews. | | | Knopfler began his solo work in earnest, while still with the band, doing the soundtrack to the great little movie 'Local Hero', in 1983. |

| | While I like this CD (any Knopfler work is worth owning and listening to repeatedly) I have to admit that I find "Shangri-La" to be a bit less interesting and certainly less musically diverse than previous efforts. | | | The songs universally are identifiable as Knopfler fingerpicking masterworks, but this time he chose to be essentially a rhythm guitarist. | | | As a songwriter, Knopfler has a storyteller's eye for minutiae, which he delivers with practiced nuance. |

| | Former Dire Straits leader Mark Knopfler's second proper solo album (although this album might as well be called the 8th Dire Straits album!) is a stirring and emotional set of transatlantic blues. | | | The collection is bolstered by phenomenal contributions from Van Morrison ("The Last Laugh") and James Taylor (the title track), while Knopfler's guitar playing remains fresh and alive as he merges country and folk picking with electric blues. | | | But it's in the role of songwriter that Knopfler really shines! |

| | Mark Knopfler: Sailing to Philadelphia (2000): Reviews |
| | Knopfler's ability to keep his talents in check serves the music, which benefits from the simple structures and tiny (but significant) guitar flourishes. | | | But in one song after another on this album, you get the feeling that he started out playing some familiar song in a specific genre and eventually extrapolated upon it enough to call it an original. | | | Sailing To Philadelphia often sounds outright anachronistic, from the "Sultans Of Swing"-like "What It Is" to James Taylor's voice on the title track, yet it never comes across like another old English coot courting Baby Boomer record buyers. |

| | One of the most interesting uses of music Americana is the Elvis 'tribute' "Back To Tupelo", which uses a very "Ghostriders In The Sky" chord progression underneath its verses. | | | Dire Straits went on to true rock superstardom before Knopfler went out on his own to record some pretty cool solo albums and soundtracks. | | | I remember hearing that song and thinking of it as the first ray of light peekin' through from the general overcast of the Disco Era (though I've since come to appreciate Disco, partly due to the nostalgia factor). |

| | Mark Knopfler made a curious move this year, releasing an album of songs recorded in one take that had appeared on his most recent album, "Shangri-La." The new disc, "One Take Radio Sessions" (Warners), is grittier than its companion disc, heavy on the signature guitar sound of the former Dire Straits leader. | | | It's that side of these songs Knopfler emphasized at the Greek. | | | The songs on his solo albums don't live up to his Dire Straits work; they are often wordy, pensive and laconic and lacking in melodic hooks. |
