You Don’t Want To Get You One of Those
E' un inedito di Mark Knopfler presente nel nuovo album di collaborazioni di Tommy Emmanuel, Accomplice One, in uscita il 19 gennaio.
"...When I approached Mark about playing on my album, he told me he would love to but it has to be one of his songs and none of that fast stuff. I immediately concurred, as I love all his compositions. We sat down with our acoustic guitars, and he sang me the song, “You Don’t Want To Get You One of Those”. It’s brilliantly written, and honestly and humbly performed. We recorded it like a performance, playing and singing in the same room. We purposely left it raw and didn’t try to polish it up. It was a great experience for me to be directed by such an accomplished artist as Mark".
Dire Straits has been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Mark’s new album

Mark Knopfler in London to celebrate the Busking Day, in association with Gibson.

"With so many smaller pub and club venues in London and other cities around the world falling victim to gentrification and rising rents it is more important than ever that enlightened civic authorities actively promote live music and performance in public places. It's good to see the Mayor of London taking this initiative with Gibson Guitars"

"Ci sono tanti pub e club piccoli a Londra e in altre città del mondo che sono vittime di riqualificazioni con conseguente aumento di affitti. E' importante che le autorità cittadine promuovano attivamente la musica dal vivo e in luoghi pubblici. È bello vedere il sindaco di Londra partecipe di questa iniziativa in accordo con Gibson Guitars"


Mark has recorded guitar parts for a forth-coming release from The Killers.

"We’ll all remember Chuck Berry as one of the greatest rock 'n roll performers but he was also the greatest of the rock ’n roll writers. Music wouldn’t have evolved in the same way without him. Seeing him at Newcastle City Hall when I was 15 was an unforgettable experience."
