1979 was an amazing time for UK postpunk pop. At the end of March, a fresh new sound entered the British top 20. Sultans of Swing, a very wordy song with lots of driving guitar, a tight rhythm section and some killer musicianship. Dire Straits, unlikely pop stars led by a balding 29yearold Geordie who could play guitar brilliantly, had finally arrived. Six years later, they were, for a time, the biggest band in the world. Brothers in Arms sold by the truckload, one of the first massive sellers on CD. Since then, however, their star has fallen. Over exposure as the safe, boring champions of the CD age, has resulted in Dire Straits becoming, to many, the embodiment of a certain sort of benign, homogenised music. Mark Knopfler, their singer, guitarist, producer and songwriter, became a caricature of the middleaged rocker in the minds of many. Their music remains stubbornly unfashionable, but retains its huge fanbase. Dire Straits On Track revisits, reevaluates and contextualises the bands six studio albums and two live albums, as well as EPs and archive releases. Seven exmembers of Dire Straits have been interviewed for this book, providing fresh perspective and insight. The band made a lot of good music. Its time we remembered why.
