Kill to Get Crimson

Mercury Music Group are set to release a new album by one of the UK’s most successful singer songwriters, Mark Knopfler. ‘Kill To Get Crimson’ is out on September 17th 2007. It was made with a hand-picked A team of musicians including long-time collaborators Guy Fletcher and Chuck Ainlay. It’s his fifth solo, non-soundtrack release, following 2004’s ‘Shangri-La,’ and arrives on the heels of Knopfler’s delightful collaboration with Emmylou Harris, ‘All The Roadrunning.’ That international success became his first-ever entry to the US top 20 in his own name, as well as Emmylou’s, and led to select dates together in the early summer of 2006. Recorded in his own, purpose-built studio, British Grove in West London, the new album contains a high proportion of traditional instrumentation. Featured players include accordionist Ian Lowthian, with whom Knopfler collaborated on the soundtrack to the 2002 movie ‘A Shot At Glory,’ and fiddle player John McCusker, perhaps best known for his work with Kate Rusby. A multiple Grammy award winner, as the lead singer/songwriter for Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler combined his wry lyrics with his guitar prowess to create such major hits as ‘Money For Nothing’, ‘Sultans Of Swing’, ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and ‘Walk of Life’. He has produced records for Bob Dylan and Randy Newman as well as scoring several films including ‘Local Hero’ and ‘Princess Bride’.A major UK tour is planned, dates to be announced shortly.
