Unreleased song feat Mark Knopfler ??

[shangri la 1]

It claims to be an un-released Mk collaboration but although the sound is similar to Mark, I'm sure it is a fake....

I like the guitar very much, even if it may not be MK!      Who is singing?   

[Pottel]

mmm, not sure if this is mk.
the guitar misses that ...thing...and thatdoes not sound like his vibrato...

[dustyvalentino]

Most likely a good impersonation I think. Pretty well done though.

[Best Brown Baggies]

Yeah. Nice guitar, pretty sure it's not Mark, but what a boring voice!!!!!

Actually it could be Mark because that is the way he is kind of playing these days,and this song was for sure recorded in one take with the guy coming singing MK playing and done.I dunno it could be fake but the guitar is very similar to MK.There sure are a lot of songs out there featuring MK which we probably will never listen.

Maybe we can ask Guy about the song?

[localhero1986]

I doubt it is MK. The timing is completely NOT mark. It's just hitting the notes instead of mark's "growing" of notes.

mm .. could well be him as a first pass anyway. Never thought I'd be stumped on a question like this, there's some subtle cleverness going on there.

I say it's a fake. It is very heavily influenced by MK's picking though. I'd be surprised if that was MK.

[ustas]

100 % - fake

[Dutchessy]

No goosebumps.... No Mark

[Waterline Man]

100 % - fake

I have to concur with the consensus. While the guitar player is a LOT better than I'll ever be, it's still clunkier playing than MK has EVER done. Not that it's bad - it's just obviously an imitator.

[jcser]

I guess what I mean is, it's not 'intimate' sounding like Mark. I heard an interviewer once who told Mark it sounded almost tender the way he played - I can't recall the exact wording - and that's what I mean. This playing is not soft enough.
