Mark Knopfler - Privateering (2012)

If you like Americana meets British (or maybe British Isles) Folk, blended and apportioned with sublime musicality, topped with wistful lyrics, and superb guitar (mostly acoustic), well then this one is a gem. There's also loads of it, about 2 hours or more, with 2CDs and a bonus EP and all. Superior to the Richard Thompson release that has come out at more or less the same time, although the genres do not quite match, to be fair.

I'm not sure I could.

So I read your post and do a search on Jethro Tull and blimey, wouldn't you know there's a sequel to Thick As A Brick, Whatever Happened To Gerald Bostock? - and it's on tour ...

Give me strength. Steady my hand. Fate's had a word with me. Where's me flute ...
