The new songs - A hypothesis

[Robson]

I always wonder why Guy Fletcher won't say if the new album is going to be more country, rock or bluegrass. What would happen if he said

I think Guy won't say anything that would spoil the thing. He said they used a harp, but on what? It may be a rap song for all we know. Something like this

I don't want a running commentary from Guy, or anyone about the new album, I want to wait and listen to it when it is released, without knowing much about the songs, I remember in 1996 hearing Golden Heart for the 1st time, this was the early dawn of the internet so I had no clue about the album, and it was magical to hear, still is too.

[Robson]

It's all true. I also remember March 1996. I didn't know anything about Golden Heart album. 25 years ... The world has changed

I'm not good with that site who had a register of new songs, I remember someone discovered the Local Hero musical and the DTRW titles months before in that site...

Don't remember who was but, any luck searching for new titles?

ISWC database has changed since DTRW and searching for new entries become harder. Actually, I found one new record:

T-931.810.657-9 A BARREL OF OIL

but I guess it is updated version of "barrel of crude" from Local Hero

[Knopflerfan]

I would be fine with anything, whether folk, blues, rock, country etc. as long as he leaves out the brass. Just some saxophone is ok.

Indeed, no Brass please...

I think we'd have known by now.  Looks like pedal steel is the new inclusion this time which probably means country to me, which is good as far as I'm concerned.

Think: Setting Me Up, When It Comes to You, How Long, Are We In Trouble Now... 

Nice idea, and given the state of MK's guitar abilities of late these type of songs would be a lot more flowing for him to play some lead to...

Looks like it, thanks

There is also a new entry titled "Dire Straits Medley"

I guess if some cheesy artist releases something with a DS medley it generates a new credit as MK wrote all those titles.

[Jules]

No mention to any other artist involved on this entry, if it's what you say, it should say the performer's name...


T-010.948.999-7

TITLE: MEDLEY DIRE STRAITS

CREATOR NAME: KNOPFLER MARK

TYPE: OT

There is also a track by Nathan Cavalieri titled "Dire Straits"

GF:

This new album, like its predecessor also has lots of guitars 😊 No, I certainly do not focus on any one style of music.

Wow, lots of guitars on an album from a famous guitar player... What a stunning surprise

[Robson]

Guy Fletcher is smiling too

 

[Jules]

Funnily, he says a lot of guitars, not a lot of guitar playing or guitar solos... That's why he smiles, he knows what the person asking meant and his answer was doing fun with that.
