UNOFFICIAL ITALIAN DS/MK/NHBs HOMEPAGE

GET LUCKY (2009)

Fin dai contenuti speciali del dvd, quest'opera di Mark Knopfler è una vera e propria demo per il suo prestigioso studio di registrazione: il British Grove. La qualità è a dir poco perfetta e l'artista si diverte a proporre ingegnosi mixaggi di suoni. Lasciato il country, i walzer e le polke questa volta propone quella che appare al primo ascolto una colonna sonora di un film sulla Scozia, sulla guerra ed il ricordo dei suoi caduti, sul fine lavoro di esperti artigiani liutai, sul gioco d'azzardo (vero fil rouge del brand scelto per la promozione). Rispetto all'album precedente, si concede anche qualche pezzo meno impegnato (oserei dire più "ballabile", ma non vorrei esagerare).
Ben due pezzi sono stati limitati alla versione download americana (chissà poi perchè) e tre alla monumentale versione deluxe.
