Building on last year’s Grammy®-nominated
All The Roadrunning collaboration
with Emmylou Harris, his highest charting
non–Dire Straits album to date—Top
20 Pop, scanning 400,000 copies in the
U.S.—acclaimed singer-songwriterguitarist
Mark Knopfler unveils his fifth
solo album, Kill To Get Crimson. While
certain to appeal to his loyal fan base, the
album’s artful guitar rock will also entice
new fans to Knopfler’s signature sound
(he’s 27 on Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest
Guitarists Of All Time), instantly recognizable
vocals and smart lyrics. A multiple-
Grammy winner who has sold more than
110 million albums worldwide, Knopfler
remains one of rock’s most admired artists.
HISTORY: With Dire Straits, Knopfler enjoyed the
band’s 1978 double-platinum self-titled debut (with the
4 “Sultans Of Swing”), 1979’s gold Communiqué,
1980’s platinum Making Movies, 1982’s gold Love Over
Gold, 1985’s rock masterpiece Brothers In Arms (1
nine weeks and nine times platinum, with the 1,
Grammy winning “Money For Nothing”) and 1991’s platinum
reunion album On Every Street. His solo debut
was 1996’s Golden Heart. 2000’s Sailing To Philadelphia
went gold in the U.S. and sold more than 2.5 million
copies worldwide. 2002’s The Ragpicker’s Dream was his
first solo album to crack the U.S. Pop Top 40. The critically
hailed Shangri-La followed in 2004.
