Mark Knopfler will release his eighth solo album on March 20, 2015 on Universal. Entitled ‘Tracker’ it features 11 new Knopfler songs inspired by a wide range of subjects including Beryl Bainbridge and Basil Bunting. The songs contain Mark’s usual wryly but accurately observed vignettes of real life wrapped up in a musical accompaniment of distinctive subtlety.

As always, Knopfler allows the musicians space in the recordings to put their own stamp on the material but never interfering in the essence of the song itself. His warm tones of both vocal and guitar combine to give the album its unique MK feel. A dazzling collection of new songs makes this release possibly his most satisfying solo work so far.
