He's awesome. I don't know if anyone else here likes John Mayer as I do but if John keeps calling Robbie back that means something. If Mark's concerts had two acts Richard could play the solo stuff and Robbie the DS part. Also a friend of mine made friends with him a few years ago when he came to Brazil on some Beatles related job - can't remember what, maybe Macca. My mate says Robbie is the coolest guy ever.

yes Robbie has been McCartney's guitarist few years (or rather decades) ago. I think he is playing at the knebworth gig

agree. his solo on your latest trick is amazing (and imho far better than Mark's one one early gigs from the OES tour)

yes

Overdubs ...  maybe after the sessions they were needed and Richard not available ...but then again the only reason why Mark would not do it by himself would be a live recording because of the vibes between them..

Once I finish work on Mark Knopfler’s new album, Mark and I will be continuing on with the Local Hero musical which is scheduled to hit the stage in 2019. Then we have a tour planned for Europe and the US. Meanwhile, I will be recording some of my own stuff and who knows what else may come along.



So they will be touring after the Local Hero project is up and running? In 2019?

It confirms our guesses, album out after summer 2018, local hero early 2019, MK tour summer 2019

Sorry if not clear. Mark could do overdubs any time on his own. The only reason to get a second guitarist  in could be that they play together for the live feel, the vibes of the recording. Better?

Obviously Robbie has his own style and touch (also more skilled purely technically than MK)  so maybe they were looking for that, not necessarily anything to do with doing takes together at the same time.
