Couverture / Jaquette
The most comprehensive 500-page book about Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits (written by a real author, no AI). Sensitive storyteller, master of subtle virtuosity, relaxed superstar - Knopfler's career breaks almost all records. Renowned Swiss musician and author Richard Koechli dives deep into the universe of the British songwriter and singer with that unmistakable guitar sound, to pay tribute to his life's work in meticulous detail. With passion, know-how, respectfully critical and in a light-footed, humorous language, he examines Mark Knopfler's art and philosophy, the influence of his forerunners and companions, the background of music history in the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Dire Straits' story alone takes up 500 pages; a second volume about Mark Knopfler's subsequent solo career will follow in a later edition. It is an inspiring multimedia adventure with countless anecdotes, background stories and audio-video examples; a must read for Mark Knopfler fans as well as for guitar geeks, audiophiles and lovers of music history. (English translation of the original German edition)
