Redbud Tree is on Youtube!! 3:07 in length. GREAT SONG!! " Redbud Tree, shelter me, shelter me"



The guitar solo is amazing.

Yes, unfortunatly, its in youtube 

You have a legal and very good quality version here http://radiobravo.com.mk/music/premierahit130712/

Good quality for sure, with a nice addition @ 2:14 

Is that Ruth Moody's contribution?

That's a Macedonian site! If the tour stops in Macedonia next year, I'll surely have a heart attack! It's only 2 hours away from me!

I must say i am really enjoying this MK era rather than the big mega stadium days of OES - even the first couple of albums with SOS, DTTWL, TOL etc - the sound although different is no less pleasing. Its just the right music MK should be creating at this time in his career.  

There is no doubt he is getting a better songwriter as each album passes...and the electric guitar although not as prominent as in earlier albums still makes its presence felt - you just know its a MK record and sound.  

A double album this time around is a nice touch so yeah - roll on September and Roll on the tour next year!  Ill be there and cant wait to absorb myself in the new album.  

MK voice - 10/10 - (albeit the quaility of these internet sites isnt 100%) - Guitar Playing - effortless and songwriting - perfect!

Thanks.

I like this song very much but I am afraid that it will be a bit like as for GL song on last tour : a big gamble to be there on one of the very few shows where Mark will perform it...

[Guitarman1972]

LOL @ ds1984

Already worried about if he will play Redbud Tree live or not? There is a double cd comming out! Maybe this Redbud Tree song is one of the worst songs on the album. ;-)

On the last album (GL) Mark left the best songs for the end. So why no wait till you heard the whole album before worrying which songs you would love to hear live?

[Guitarman1972]

Btw, my favourite song of the songs which are on the album I heard so far is "Haul Away".

I don't think in term of "best  song" because Mark simply did not select the best song of the GL album for the 2010 tour.

That said to date Redbud Tree is the best I heard from the next album, what I heard in 2011 left me with cold feet.

So I just find Redbud Tree being in the same vein as GL (the song).
And by experience sometime it is quite difficult to succeed to be able to get some of the song live: GL in 2010, Postcard in 2008, Our Shangri-La in 2005... Since 2001 I attend at least 10 shows on the european leg so I was lucky to be able to get all these at least once but next time I may not be able to do that much and I know that this will be utterly frustrating to hear that he played this or that and not to be there (such as on the early part of the 2010 US leg).

[superval99]

I got lucky too with GL, Postcards and Our Shangri la!

Perhaps tonight a better version, it will be available on markknopfler.com (I suppose that's kind of official hah?). Needless to say but, great song btw.

Anyone who knows when Redbud Tree will be available on iTunes or similar? Couldn't find it so far...

[holaknopfler]

I just got an email from Universal Holland that Redbud Tree will appear as a digital single around the time that the albums is released! Mid august e.g.

[Jarle]

Redbud Tree will finally be available for streaming trough markknopfler.com today. I wonder if it's the same version...

[holaknopfler]

It's online!

[Love Expresso]

Yeah, same version. As it says "listen to a full track from the album" I think we can forget now about a possible longer version.
