Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms

Artist reviewed by:
SongBlog

Fuelled by Mark Knopfler’s unmistakable guitar solos, the band’s virtuoso musicianship and a very distinct sound, Dire Straits stepped into the scene in the late 70’s. Quick to become one of the most successful bands of their time, they fused a solid mix of blues, jazz and rock n’ roll into their extensive catalog of classic, well-loved songs.

Embracing a clean, guitar-based sound, the British icons carved a special place in 80’s music. Through technical innovation, a striking balance between dramatic, poetic lyrics and honest, blunt ones and of course… that guitar sound; Dire Straits held an unmistakable place in music history; held together by some of the most breathtaking and brilliant guitar techniques.

Boasting a sense of spirit, wittiness and inescapable guitar hooks, Dire Straits’ Brothers in Arms has that distinctive trade mark tone. It’s what makes it such a classic album. Oozing the band’s signature sounds, beautifully structured lyrics that create a unique impact and tasty finger-picking melodies, Brothers in Arms was easily one of the band’s most highly-regarded records.

Including classic tracks like Money for Nothing and Walk of Life, the album breathed big hits and deep cuts that influenced millions of listeners. As a masterwork of precisely pointed guitar riffs, pivotal creativeness and timeless tracks, Dire Straits made a memorable impact
