Title: A Truly Unique Sound
Product review: I have never been so captivated by the combination of guitar work and vocals as when I heard "Sultans of Swing" for the first time. It is truly among the greatest songs ever produced. Even with such a great song as "Sultans," the other tracks on this album do not suffer. Upbeat, catchy songs like "Setting Me Up" and "Southbound Again" have great guitar hooks and strong basslines. Slower, bluesy songs like "In The Gallery" and "Six Blade Knife" display Mark Knopfler's range as a guitar player. "Down to the Waterline" and "Lions" are beyond classification as either rock or blues.BEST SONGS: "Sultans of Swing," "Southbound Again," "Down to the Waterline"SONGS TO SKIP: NoneOverall, Dire Straits' first album is a classic compilation of laid-back, blues rock masterpieces that hold up better than most songs of a similar genre. This album is by far their best, and is a must have for anybody who appreciates electric guitar and a unique sound.
