Lightning In a Bottle

The Dire Strait's album Love Over Gold saw songwriter lead singer & guitarist Mark Knopfler take full control over not only his band but the finished product as well as he added the title of Producer to his credits. The result? The #16 Most Important Album of all time! From beginning to end Knopfler created another masterpiece to follow up Dire Strait's previous gem Making Movies. And while Knopfler continued his new style of massive soundscapes on Gold lyrically he directed his genius wit towards the controlling elements of society scathing the status quo over five unforgettable songs that represented perhaps the finest songwriting in the history of Rock music. Knopfler took the listener on a moving journey across society's landscape pointing out how the masses were being controlled & by whom. At times the album was intense & moving suspenseful painfully truthful hysterically funny caustic & severe & painstakingly tender & honest it was unforgettable & taught us the value of Love Over Gold!
