I've been a fan of Mark Knopfler and "Dire Straits" for longer than I can remember.
In fact, Dire Straits' album: "Making Movies" - was the very first rock album I heard (even before "Dark Side of the Moon").
I've always appreciated the songwriting/storytelling nature of their work (e.g.
Private Investigations,
Telegraph Road,
Tunnel of Love,
News,
You And Your Friend,
Local Hero,
Single Handed Sailor,
Brothers in Arms etc.)
What/who was the first artist you remember listening to as a youngster (an artist you have formed a life long affection for?)
I posted mine on my blog along with some youtube videos if you'd like to see. ;) This is a wonderful topic.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I listened to the song you recommended "Honey and the Moon". It was lovely, thank you for sharing it!
