Only the most distinguished of the musical elite go on setting themselves new goals after a quarter of a century of acclaimed recording achievement. Mark Knopfler fits the description exactly, and is about to demonstrate it again on his third solo album The Ragpicker's Dream.What's more, he's bucking the trend of his fellow rock giants by getting more productive as his career progresses. Released just two years after the hugely successful Sailing To Philadelphia, which sold three and a half million copies worldwide, The Ragpicker's Dream is a delightful, distinctive continuation of what Mark calls his lifelong search for the musical connection between the Delta and the Tyne. More than that, it's a record of subtle pleasures and gentle reminders of every aspect of Knopfler's creative dexterity.
