Hopefully Pavel has the tracks and is currently producing youtube instruction videos on how to play them all so he is the first out there!

I hope so too. pavel's guitar skills and his interpretation of new songs are always eagerly awaited.

I contacted him. He is far from AMIT at the moment. He said He is in a rough place at the moment and has a hard time. My thoughts are with him. I was not asking further.

He gets more personal, more spiritual.

I like this. Although I like a lot of Mark's lyrics, after the first two or three DS albums, he became a lot more "distant", in my opinion. Much more the observer. And his book-summary songs don't do a lot for me.

Exactly that. Book summary is very well said.

I'm sorry to hear that. Pavel and I may have our differences, but I feel truly sorry for him, and any Russian, for having to live under such unpredictable circumstances. I'm not saying this is the reason why he's having a hard time, but it certainly cannot help. Take care, Pavel, if you're reading this.

He is online at the moment

Listening for 4th time now.

Strong opening songs - very strong middle part with Tunnel 13, Janine and Watch me Gone and a beautiful closer.

Sounds really well connected and all songs fits in perfectly. Tempo isn't important, the overall sound is so atmospheric. The pedal steel is an amazing addition and every song has nice guitar playing and signature Knopfler style.

Hands down masterpiece (5/5)

I totally agree to you!
Thanks to Mark's shop I received the album yesterday. Since then I have listened to it three times and been very happy with his new music.
The overall atmosphere of the new album is absolutely great. Quite different from DTRW. Great songs, Janine, Tunnel 13, Watch Me Gone and One Deep River, wonderful. There is no skipper for me until now.
Mark's guitar plaiying sounds very tasteful, his aging vioce fit the songs very well.
Even the bonus tracks are good. The bluesy Nothing But Rain reminds me of Fate to black. I wish the solo was a little longer.
The contribution of Greg Leisz and the two harmony singers is lightly dosed and sounds good.
I'm very pleased with his new album, you can spend a long time with it. Especially with the lyrics, it will takes a lot of time for me to figure out what he wants to tell.
All in all, the album gives me peace of mind.

In my opinion, this is an overwhelming record with a real Americana sound with influences from the latest albums and Tracker in particular. But certainly also a base of GH and STP en some DS / NHB sounds.

The sound quality is really phenomenally good, MK's voice is superb and the guitars are also fantastically mixed. It really is listening music of the highest quality. It always moves me when new music from MK sees the light of day. It is a moment that makes you realize that it is also coming to an end and you get the feeling that MK realizes this too.

I personally think it is a masterpiece of his solowork just like GH / STP. With my personal favorites songs Scavengers Yard, Tunnel 13, Janine and overall the MK signature song One Deep River, with a very nice bonus song The Living End!

I wish everyone a wonderful listening moment! It was well worth the wait.

I had the pleasure to meet Pavel with his wife some years ago in Lyon.

A very nice guy a a very talented one of course, and his thoughts are alaways worth to read

I hope you are well Pavel if you're reading us.
