Default Mark Knopfler's Influence

A side comment - I've thought Knopfler's work hasn't been the most consistent but he's had some brilliant moments, and some of the tracks from his recent Get Lucky album are among his best solo work. Particularly like "So Far From The Clyde." Have you heard that album, Jeremy?
I unashamedly admit that Mark's playing has influenced me greatly since I first heard him in 1978. I thought 'now we're talking!' To me, his phrasing and feel is incredible and never ceases to move and amaze me.
No I haven't heard that album. Sounds like a must get!
