Knopfler is best known as lead guitarist & singer for Dire Straits. I believe he also did the soundtrack for the movie "The Princess Bride".

How does the new album compare with his earlier solo albums in terms of style? I do like his solo stuff but not nearly as well as the Dire Straits material. "Sultans of Swing" was an absoute revelation the first time I heard it.

If you check out the linked song ---well it's a pretty good example of the album as far as tempo and general style is concerned. A few of the songs have a real folk sound with a "mariner sound" ---- seafaring I suppose. And yes the guitar solo in "Sultans of Swing" is a classic for sure.
