Plongeons dans les coulisses de la création de l'album culte de Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms, qui fête aujourd'hui ses 40 ans ! Cet épisode retrace l'histoire fascinante de la genèse de ce disque, véritable tournant dans l'industrie musicale.Tout commence en 1978, avec la formation du groupe Dire Straits. À sa tête, un guitariste virtuose du nom de Mark Knopfler, qui va devenir l'unique maître à bord pour la création de Brothers in Arms. Enregistré dans les paradisiaques studios de l'île de Montserrat, cet album est une prouesse technique et artistique. Première particularité : il a été entièrement enregistré de manière numérique, une révolution à l'époque où le format analogique dominait encore. Knopfler, en quête constante de perfection sonore, a fait le choix osé d'embrasser cette nouvelle technologie. Résultat : une production d'une limpidité saisissante, qui va propulser le CD sur le devant de la scène.Car Brothers in Arms va devenir le premier album à se vendre à plus d'un million d'exemplaires dans ce format révolutionnaire. Un véritable tournant, alors que la plupart des auditeurs ne possédaient même pas encore de lecteur CD !

1985 haben Mark Knopfler und seine Dire Straits das Album "Brothers In Arms" rausgebracht. Bis heute gilt das Album als eines der erfolgreichsten der Rockgeschichte. Mit Songs wie "Money For Nothing", "Walk Of Life", "Your Latest Trick" und natürlich dem Titelsong "Brothers In Arms" sind auf dem Album auch einige der größten Hits der Dire Straits vertreten. Für die Band rund um Gitarrenlegende Mark Knopfler war es schon das fünfte Studioalbum der Dire Straits. Und mit mehr als 30 Millionen verkauften Einheiten und Diamantauszeichnungen in Deutschland, Großbritannien und den USA zählt "Brothers in Arms" auch zu den kommerziell erfolgreichsten Rockalben der Geschichte. "Brothers In Arms" von den Dire Straits ist aber nicht nur das erfolgreichste Album von Mark Knopfler und Co., für SWR1 Musikredakteur Niels Berkefeld ist es auch das perfekteste Album der Band, mit Ausnahme eines Songs, erklärt er im Podcast. Aber "Brothers In Arms" ist nicht nur vom Songwriting ein absoluter Meilenstein, sondern auch von der Seite der technischen Produktion her. Damals war das Medium CD und digitale Musikproduktion noch sehr neu und die Dire Straits haben auf dieser Platte alle neuen Möglichkeiten der CD-Produktion ausgenutzt und das hatte kaum eine Gruppe und kaum eine Künstlerin oder ein Künstler vorher so gemacht. Einer der bekanntesten Hits des Albums ist natürlich "Money For Nothing" auf dem auch The-Police-Sänger Sting zu hören ist – ein absoluter Zufall. Sting war nämlich eigentlich nur in Montserrat gewesen, um die Dire Straits im Studio zu besuchen und mit ihnen zu Abendessen zu gehen. Die Inspiration zum Song "Money For Nothing" entstand in einem Elektrogeschäft als Mark Knopfler einige Arbeiter vor einer Fernsehwand beobachtet, wie sie sich darüber ärgern, dass sie so schwer schuften müssen und die Rockstars, die auf dem Musiksender MTV zu sehen sind, reich werden und die hübschen Mädchen bekommen – frei übersetzt: Die bekommen Kohle fürs Nichtstun! In den 80er-Jahren kam man nicht an diesem Album vorbei. "Es lag überall rum", sagt Dave Jörg aus der SWR1 Musikredaktion, was auch die unglaublichen Verkaufszahlen von über 30 Millionen Einheiten attestieren. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Brothers In Arms" wird im Podcast gesprochen: (10:57) – "So Far Away"(14:57) – "Money For Nothing"(32:39) – "Walk Of Life"(43:48) – "Brothers In Arms"(49:28) – "Your Latest Trick"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: https://1.ard.de/dire-straits-brothers-in-arms __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Jenni's got another bite-sized RunPod Power Playlist bonus episode, featuring legendary long-distance runner and commentator Sir Brendan Foster.He gives a quick peek into the podcasts that keep him company-and yes, there's even a Mark Knopfler name drop. It's a light, personal insight into what he listens to when he's not inspiring others. Don't forget to check out Brendan's full episode on RunPod, where he reflects on the Great North Run, his incredible career, mindset, and passion for running.

When people talk about the greatest guitarists of all time, names like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page often come up. But in the world of acoustic fingerstyle guitar, few names resonate louder than Tommy Emmanuel. Hailing from Australia, Tommy has spent his life redefining what one person and one guitar can do — creating soundscapes so full and expressive, you'd swear there's a full band on stage. But it's just Tommy, his guitar, and a heart full of music.Born in 1955 in NSW, Tommy was destined for a life in music. By the age of four, he was already strumming along on a homemade guitar, inspired by the country music on the family radio. When he was just six, he and his older brother Phil were already performing professionally, touring rural Australia as part of the Emmanuel family band. After the sudden death of their father in 66, the Emmanuel family relocated and Tommy's passion for the guitar only deepened. He didn't receive formal training. Instead, he learned by ear, copying the sounds he heard and developing a unique style shaped by necessity, emotion, and endless hours of practice.If there's one name Tommy Emmanuel reveres more than any other, it's Chet Atkins. The legendary guitarist's fingerpicking style — where melody, bass, and rhythm are played simultaneously — blew Tommy's mind as a child. From the moment he heard Atkins' music, Tommy knew he wanted to master the same technique.Years later, not only did Tommy meet his hero, but the two became close friends and collaborators. In one of the greatest honors a guitarist can receive, Chet Atkins named Tommy a Certified Guitar Player (CGP) — a title he gave to only a handful of musicians worldwide. Their 1996 collaboration, The Day Finger Pickers Took Over the World, showcased both artists' brilliance and earned a GRAMMY nomination.Though he played in bands during the 1980s — it was Tommy's solo work that truly revealed his genius. Armed with a single acoustic guitar, Tommy became a one-man orchestra. He played melody, bass, harmony, and percussion all at once, creating dynamic performances that are equal parts musical and theatrical.From dazzling renditions of Classical Gas and Somewhere Over the Rainbow to heart-pounding originals, Tommy's concerts are unforgettable.Over the decades, Tommy has become not only a global guitar icon but also a tireless ambassador for fingerstyle playing. He's released over 30 albums, toured relentlessly across six continents, and collaborated with legends including Mark Knopfler, Jason Isbell, Jake Shimabukuro, Molly Tuttle, John Knowles, and many others.Tommy Emmanuel doesn't just perform — he teaches, encourages, and uplifts. Many students admire his technique, but it's his heart-led approach that sticks with them. Tommy's life hasn't been without challenges. Like many who spend their lives on the road, he struggled with addiction earlier in his career. But he's been open about those difficult years, crediting his recovery and ongoing sobriety to a mix of faith, family, and a renewed connection to the purpose behind his music.His story is one of resilience, not just in music but in life. He's spoken publicly about mindfulness, presence, and living with gratitude — all of which shine through in his playing.Now in his late 60s, Tommy Emmanuel shows no signs of slowing down. He continues to tour internationally, sell out shows, release new music, and connect with fans of all ages. Whether he's playing on a small club stage or headlining a major festival, Tommy pours everything into every note.There's a reason people call him a force of nature.

While Dire Straits were a solid band that had radio hits since their first album was released in 1978, there was nothing to portend the outrageous fortune they would find in 1985 with Brothers in Arms. Their previous album, Love Over Gold, failed to go platinum in the US or produce any big radio hits. Twisting By The Pool from their 1983 EP was catchy but also kitschy and made some wonder if they were trying to parody the oldies instead of creating an homage. While the live album Alchemy was fantastic, it was not a huge seller. Lead singer, lead guitarist and songwriter Mark Knopfler had success in the studio with Steely Dan and Bob Dylan, produced some great movie soundtracks and wrote songs for others like Private Dancer for Tina Turner. But he hadn't made a Dire Straits album that captured the public's imagination. Until they made Brothers In Arms in 1985.... Mark brought in a young keyboard player named Guy Fletcher to give his songs more texture and eventually brought in legendary session drummer Omar Hakim to lay down all the drum parts. The result was an album that hit #1 around the world selling more than 4.5 million in the UK, 9 million in the US and 30 million around the world. The single Money For Nothing topped the charts around the world and featured Sting singing the famous line I Want My MTV. Of course at the time MTV played videos by artists who wrote music and played instruments and between Sting's catchphrase and the cutting edge (at the time) computer animation, it went into heavy rotation and would be heralded as one of the greatest videos for years. But the sound was so crisp on this album it was used to sell CD players in stores and was the first record to sell more on CD than on LP, thanks in large part to recording on digital tape and Knopfler's never ending search for quality sound. Songs like Your Latest Trick and Why Worry may be mellow but you can hear every note. Walk Of Life was fun, upbeat track that featured 2 different videos for the US and UK markets. And while the second side of the album might not have featured the big hits as the first side, Knopfler's lyrics take on more serious notions like war, life and death. the final and title track brought up visions of pain from the Falklands War that had affected so many in the UK and Argentina and is seen as a respectful tribute to those who fought (and often played at military funerals0. You can't tell the story of MTV, the 1980s or Dire Straits without this album and we dug in for an in-depth conversation about its impact at the time and how it sound today. Plus, we have a little audio from Guy Fletcher talking about Dolby Atmos mixes for the upcoming 40th anniversary edition which will include a concert from the Live in 85 tour.

Te proponemos un bosque habitado por todos los árboles y plantas que no ves, por todas las estrellas que te pierdes a diario, por todas los intercambios, presencias, hallazgos y movimientos que hacen del bosque nocturno un espacio y un tiempo super interesantes, que hoy despiertan nuestra curiosidad, de la mano, la sensibilidad y la sabiduría de quien lleva una época estudiando la noche, el biólogo y botánico Raúl Tapia que es Raúl Alcanduerca. Esta será la primera de dos entregas de “El bosque existe en la noche”, de Raúl. En ésta que comienza, nos habitará principalmente la naturaleza vegetal y celeste que percibimos desde la oscuridad, donde las arquitecturas arbóreas adquieren otras formas y otras dimensiones, donde los astros están más cerca que nunca de los árboles y de todas las criaturas. De noche, se murmuran historias secretas, se revelan otros misterios, se respiran vidas ocultas a los ojos humanos. Al anochecer no estamos sol@s, múltiples realidades atraviesan el silencio, las primeras horas nocturnas proponen sosiegos que no son del todo ciertos y las últimas horas previas al alba prometen nuevas aventuras a estrenar. De lejos, antes de la salida del sol, todo son siluetas, pero si te acercas, ay, si te acercas con los cinco sentidos… entrarás en el mágico mundo que ha inspirado a poetas, científic@s, escritor@s, bohemio@, nictálopes, gentes de difícil dormir y hambrient@s de lo desconocido…Nos acompañan con su pluma en mano, en la penumbra y en la difusa y sugerente luz de la noche Factoría K de Libros, Pepo Paz, Sigri Sandberg e Ignacio Abella.

Nothing Like the Sun, or as it is written on the album, "...Nothing Like the Sun,"  is the second solo studio album by former Police bassist and front man Sting.  The title comes from Shakespeare's sonnet number 130 which contains the lines, "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun."  Sting was met on the street one evening, who asked him, "How beautiful is the moon?"  Sting responded with this line from the sonnet.  Two events play a lot of influence on this album.  First, Sting's mother died in 1986, inspiring the lyrics to the opening track, "Lazarus Heart."  Second Sting joined the Conspiracy of Hope tour for Amnesty International, and through this tour was exposed to victims of government oppression in Latin America.  He was particularly moved by people in Chile for whom loved ones had "disappeared" in government actions, and wrote "They Dance Alone" as a description of the mourners who would dance the traditional Cueca by themselves with a picture of their loved ones pinned to their clothes.Sting's first solo album leaned into jazz.  This second album continues to have a jazz influence but reaches across a number of other genres including reggae, funk, acoustic rock, soft rock, and world music.  He brought in a number of solid musicians into the recording sessions including Gil Evans, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Branford Marsalis, and even his fellow Police alumnus Andy SummersSting would continue to further success after this album, which peaked at number 9 on the Billboard 200 chart.  In the UK, ...Nothing Like the Sun debuted and peaked at number 1 on the UK albums chart.Bruce presents this adult contemporary album for this week's podcast. Be Still My Beating HeartThis second single from the album went to number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The lyrics are quite mature, describing the head telling the heart to settle down in the midst of an intense romance.  The title was likely inspired by a 19th Century poem from Mary Elizabeth Coleridge.  Andy Summers is playing guitar on this track.  Little WingMost of this album is original music written by Sting, but this one is a deeper cut and a cover.  Jimi Hendrix wrote "Little Wing" in 1967, and it appears on his "Axis" album.  Gil Evans did a jazz arrangement of this piece in 1974, and provided this arrangement and backing with his orchestra for this cover.  Sting's version runs just over 5 minutes, giving it a run time just over double that of the original Hendrix version.  Rock SteadyAnother deep cut, this song is Stings humorous look at a couple who have volunteered to join a cruise, and later find out that they are joining Noah on the Ark.  "Life may be tough, but we're sailing with the Lord."  FragileThis is the fourth single from the album, and is a gorgeous acoustic piece.  This anti-war song was likely inspired by Sting's work with Amnesty International. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:That's Amore by Dean Martin (from the motion picture “Moonstruck”) This romance comedy starring Cher and Nicolas Cage delivered a Best Actress Oscar to Cher and a Best Supporting Actress Oscar to Olympia Dukakis.  STAFF PICKS:The Promise by When In RomeRob starts this week's staff picks with the only hit from a British new wave trio.  This track went to number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, and became a popular song to play at weddings later on.  It gained a revival in popularity when it was used in the soundtrack to "Napoleon Dynamite" in 2004.  Got My Mind Set On You by George HarrisonLynch brings us a cover of a song originally written by Rudy Clark and recorded by James Ray in 1962.  It is off Harrison's comeback album, "Cloud Nine."  Harrison worked with Jeff Lynne on the album because he wanted a producer who wouldn't be intimidated by working with a Beatle.  The teamwork went well, and the two would go on to form "The Traveling Wilburys" supergroup shortly thereafter.Dude (Looks Like a Lady) by AerosmithWayne features one of many hits from Aerosmith's monster "Permanent Vacation" album.  The lyrics tell the tale of a man finding out that the "girl" he has bee pursuing at a club was a man dressed up as a woman.  The idea for the song came from Motley Crue singer Vince Neil being mistaken frequently for a woman with long blonde hair.Mission by RushBruce closes out the staff picks with a song which arose from a conversation between Neal Peart and Geddy Lee about the perception people have that the rich and famous have easier lives.  The lyrics reflect how every life has its own difficulties, and perhaps those who are highly successful would often wish for a more plain and settled life at times.   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Bailando/Aquatic Park by Carlos SantanaGuitar virtuoso Carlos Santana takes us out this week with a track from his solo album, "Blues for Salvador."

O álbum Brothers in Arms do Dire Straits marcou a minha vida. Entrava nos meus 14 para 15 anos e saida da dependência emocional de adolescente da minha saudosa mãe que me ensinou Beatles e Elvis dela. Mark Knopfler e sua incrível banda de irmãos musicais dominaram o mundo com esse disco lançado em formato digital, pioneiro então, vendendo um milhão de cópias de cds (coisa inédita na época). Pop rock com pitadas suculentas de country, jazz, blues, folk, desde o rock de ZZ Top do riff de 'money' e o chamado de Sting, ex-Police, 'I want my MTV', passando pela poderosa balada 'Your Lasted Trick' com os metais dos irmãos Brecker, a festa de 'Walk of Life', até o clima folk blues de 'The man's too strong' e da lindíssima faixa título! Campeão de vendas (30 milhões) e até hoje o maior sucesso da banda, parece um 'best of' dos anos 80! Acompanhe a história do disco e da banda naquele momento, festejando os 40 anos desse discaço! #direstraits #rock #brothersInArms40 #brothersInArms #markKnopfler BONS SONS E ATÉ A PRÓXIMA PESSOAL!

Wisdom Through Failure: "A lot of my wisdom that I have is not from succeeding. It's from when I fail, you know."Old vs. Getting OlderJeff poses an important question: Is there a difference between being old and getting older? Eric agrees, noting that while getting older is an inevitable part of life, being old is more about one's mindset. The discussion touches on societal pressures, particularly the emphasis on youth, and how these pressures can shape our attitudes toward aging. They also examine how pop culture tends to idolize youth, often overlooking the lasting contributions of older generations.Role Models and Changing PerceptionsEric brings up musicians like Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton, who continue to perform and inspire despite their age. This serves as a reminder that aging doesn't have to equate to obsolescence. It also highlights the importance of setting realistic expectations and finding joy and purpose in the later stages of life.Physical Changes and AdaptationJeff candidly shares his own experiences with physical changes as he has ages, including undergoing hip surgery. He emphasizes the importance of acknowledging these changes without letting them define your outlook on life. Building a Practice of Emotional IntelligenceJeff notes that a successful EQ practice isn't about achieving perfection but about continuous improvement and application. Eric concurs, highlighting that these competencies become increasingly vital as we grow older.Emotional Intelligence CompetenciesThe hosts identify several emotional intelligence competencies that are particularly useful as we age. These include:Self-Awareness - Recognizing and understanding your emotions, especially during challenging times.Optimism - Maintaining a hopeful outlook, even when facing physical limitations or other aging-related challenges.Adaptability - Adjusting your mindset and actions in response to new circumstances.Empathy - Understanding the emotions and experiences of others, which can be especially enriching in later years.Relationship Skills - Building and maintaining strong connections with others, which can provide essential support and companionship.Stress Management - Learning to cope with stress in healthier ways, which becomes increasingly important as we age.Jeff and Eric encourage you to build and maintain a practice of emotional intelligence throughout your life. This practice can make the journey of aging more fulfilling and less daunting. Plus don't forget the importance of humor and maintaining a positive outlook, both of which can significantly enhance the experience of getting older.Key Moments00:00 Will today's stars remain popular in future?06:04 Groundedness aids artists' adaptation and longevity.08:54 Plan now for a healthy, active final decade.12:17 Emotions persist; optimism aids post-surgery recovery.13:48 Building long-term emotional intelligence through practice.In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

Send us a textDavid Tilmon has lived in Colorado his entire life. Growing up, his parents encouraged him and his siblings to try something musical. He remembers first trying piano, but taking lessons and practicing, he never connected with the instrument. His parents still encouraged him to pick an instrument, so he decided to try playing a guitar in their house that hadn't been played for a while. He started lessons with an instructor who exposed him to various kinds of music, encouraging his interests and guiding him through styles he hadn't known about before.Tilmon remembers a turning point for him being the first time he heard the song “Classical Gas.” When the song, an instrumental piece written and originally performed by Mason Williams, played on the radio, he realized that the guitar could still be a powerful instrument by itself. From there, he shifted into fingerstyle playing and focused on instrumental music. Currently based in Berthoud, his instrumental stylings blend folk, classical, jazz, Americana, and even rock influences. He's worked instrumental interpretations of acts such as The Beatles, Queen, and Talking Heads into his shows, taken inspiration from guitarists such as Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins, and written original instrumental compositions, releasing his debut album Formative in 2021.

Since 2017, he's been performing with famed engineer, producer, and songwriter Alan Parsons, who worked on Abbey Road, Dark Side of the Moon, and a host of other records that you've probably owned for decades. It should come as no surprise, then, that as a member of the Alan Parsons Project, Kollman's gig is to sound great. And he does so with a quick-and-easy rig.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 542 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - and this week they have a special guest as the legendary Brent Mason is in the house!This week we are joined by Nashville legend Brent Mason - one of the world's finest guitar players and one of Brian's guitar heroes - and he takes us on a detailed journey through his career. Brent tells us the utterly insane story about how he got his first break in music after being literally thrust at one of the most famous players of his era when he was a youngster. Brent then regales us with colorful tales of his early session playing career, how his talent was picked up, and how some of his early encounters with legendary musicians played out. He gives us a fascinating insight into how hard he had to work to get to his big break and has some great insights for all guitar players to learn from. There is also plentiful gear talk too as Brent breaks down how his rig has evolved from the 90's to today. There are some amusing tales about library music including something that blows Richard and Blake's tiny minds when they discover just how widespread Brent's talents can be found. The guys get deep into Brent's creative process and learn about how he comes up with his solos and Brian makes a confession. Oh, and we might mention the new Wampler ReWired pedal and its topology. Hint - it is not a tubescreamer.  This is an episode not to be missed, and we are very grateful to Brent for spending this time with us - enjoy!

Next up on this action-packed season of Shred With Shifty, country superstar Keith Urban joins Chris Shiflett to walk through some of his most iconic solos and unpack some fine details behind his successful music career. Strapped with the '51 Fender “Nocaster” that he used to record the solo on “Tumbleweed,” Urban walks Shifty through some of his guitar secrets, like how he came to own Waylon Jennings' iconic, leatherbound 1950 Fender Broadcaster (hats off to his wife, Nicole Kidman, for that one). Urban tells avid surfer Shiflett why he never got into surfing while growing up in Australia, and remembers his earliest influences in the country's music scene. Low-gain players like Mark Knopfler, Ray Flacke, and Lindsay Buckingham helped shape Urban's lead-guitar tastes, imprints you can hear in the capoed, drop-D solo on “Stupid Boy.” (Urban says his new solo record, High, features more of these theatrics.) Amid the fretboard analysis, Urban talks about his “love-hate relationship” with his Fractal amp-modeling unit, which he still leaves at home when he plays live—a 100-watt Marshall Super Lead and PRS J-MOD 100 still reign supreme for Urban's concerts. Tune in to learn how Urban's unique pick grip gave his solos some extra percussive edge, how he keeps his chops up, and which artist he'd want to “gunsling” for.

Guitarist and session ace Richard Bennett joins me on the show this week. Originally from Phoenix, Richard spent the first big chunk of his career in the 70's LA studio scene, before moving to Nashville in the 80's where he's been a mainstay in studios ever since. Richard is known as one of the ultimate sidemen and spent 17 years in Neil Diamond's band, playing on all of his records and tours from '71 to '87. Richard has had another long-term sideman gig playing guitar in Mark Knopfler's band since '94, and that continues to this day, touring in his band and playing on all of his records, including the latest “One Deep River” from this year. Aside from those impressive long-term gigs, Richard has played on countless sessions and gigs for artists like Roseanne Cash, Marty Stuart, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell, Iris Dement, and Waylon Jennings. He also loves to write and record his own music, and is constantly working on the next set of tunes to get into the studio to document. His latest is called “Talltale Tunes” and it's a killer record of great playing, tone and creativity. Richard is also an in-demand producer and has helmed an impressive list of albums in the last few decades as well. He had a huge role in the Nashville session scene of the 80's and 90's that continues to thrive, and I loved getting a chance to hear about that era of Nashville. I've spent the last year playing in a band with Richard called The Volcano Brothers, playing all 1920's and 30's Hawaiian music, with Richard playing ukulele. While we just play tiny local gigs around Nashville with that band, I still get to see and hear Richard's amazing touch on his instruments, and the dedication and the preparation that he puts into every show, no matter how small! He's an incredible musician, an encouraging band-mate, and an inspiring person to be around, and we had a very enjoyable conversation about his history in music and the recording studio.

It's the big one folks! Is there a bigger album from 1985? No. The answer is no. Dire Straits were the biggest act on the planet, but after just over 240 live dates in eighteen months it basically made Mark Knopfler question what the hell they were doing it all for! Speaking of "what the hell are they doing it for?", Kev and Corey are back to talk about Side A of this gigantic album! It's a longer episode because there's lots to dig into in these five songs. Where will the boys land on "those lyrics", Will Corey dig a lullaby on a rock n roll record, and will Kev make up any ground in this season's game?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and do the song about the knife!Songs covered in this episode: "So Far Away", "Money for Nothing", "Walk of Life", "Your Latest Trick", "Why Worry"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

Chris White is a highly respected British saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist, best known for his significant contributions to Dire Straits during the band's most commercially successful era. Born in Bristol, England, Chris's musical journey began at a young age, with a deep appreciation for jazz and blues music. Inspired by saxophone legends like John Coltrane and Charlie Parker, he honed his craft throughout the '70s and early '80s, becoming a sought-after session musician for both jazz and pop artists. His skill on the saxophone, combined with his ability to play multiple instruments, set him apart in the competitive world of session work. Chris White's big break came in '85 when he was invited to join Dire Straits, one of the world's most popular rock bands at the time. He joined the band for the "Brothers in Arms" world tour, a monumental event in rock history that spanned over two years and played to millions of fans across the globe. The tour, which supported the Brothers in Arms album, featured White's distinctive saxophone playing, adding a rich new layer to Dire Straits' signature sound. His solo on "Your Latest Trick" became a fan favourite, showcasing his ability to blend rock with jazz influences seamlessly. The Brothers in Arms album itself went on to sell over 30 million copies, becoming one of the best-selling albums of all time, and Chris's contributions were central to its success. In '91, Chris White was a key figure on Dire Straits' final studio album, On Every Street. His multi-instrumental talents were fully utilised, as he played saxophone, flute, and provided backing vocals, further solidifying his place within the band's sound. The subsequent world tour, supporting On Every Street, once again saw him playing a pivotal role in live performances, where his versatility and dynamic stage presence shone. Despite Dire Straits disbanding in '95, Chris's time with the band left an indelible mark on the music world, and he remains closely associated with their enduring legacy. Beyond his work with Dire Straits, Chris White has built an impressive career as a session and touring musician, working with some of the biggest names in the industry. He collaborated frequently with former Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler, contributing to Knopfler's solo projects and tours. White's versatility allowed him to work across various musical genres, and he performed with a wide range of artists, including Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Joe Cocker, and Robbie Williams. His ability to adapt to different styles and his reputation as a reliable, talented musician kept him in high demand in the post-Dire Straits years. In addition to performing, Chris White ventured into music production, arrangement, and composition, expanding his influence beyond the stage. He contributed to several film soundtracks and was a member of multiple bands, showcasing his musical diversity. His career has spanned decades, and his contributions to rock, jazz, and pop music have solidified his place among the greats. Chris White's legacy is inseparably linked to his time with Dire Straits, where his saxophone work helped define some of the band's most iconic sounds. His distinctive style, blending rock, jazz, and pop influences, made him a standout musician, and his career has continued to flourish long after his time with Dire Straits. Today Chris leads a band called The Dire Straits Experience, which he co-founded to keep the spirit of Dire Straits' music alive. The band brings together world-class musicians to perform classic Dire Straits songs like "Sultans of Swing," "Romeo and Juliet," "Money for Nothing," and, of course, "Your Latest Trick." The band tours globally, celebrating the legacy of one of rock's most enduring groups. Chris White joins us today to share the story of his incredible rise to fame.

We covered the big commercial hit album "Brothers In Arms" back in episode 154, but many afficianados of Dire Straits consider their finest work to be the album that preceeded this one.  Love Over Gold is their fourth studio album, released in late September 1982 and on the charts in June 1983.  For this album, prime mover and lead vocalist Mark Knopfler, bassist John Illsley, and percussionist Pick Withers are joined by new members Hal Lindes on guitars and Alan Clark on keyboards.  The songs on this album are longer than your standard single, particularly the majestic 14-minute "Telegraph Road."  Despite their length, "Private Investigations" was released as a single in the UK and reached number 2on the charts.  The shortest song, "Industrial Disease" (still clocking in at 5:50) was released as a single in the US.  It would reach number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100, but would be a staple of rock radio stations at the time.A number of songs were written and recorded during the "Love Over Gold" sessions, but subsequently discarded from album release.  Amongst these was the song "Private Dancer," which was instead provided to Tina Turner for her comeback album of the same name.   Turner would take this song to number 7 on the US charts, and see her career reinvigorated by the success of her "Private Dancer" album."Love Over Gold" was a number 1 album on a number of charts, including Australia, Austria, and the UK, and reached number 19 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart.Rob brings us this outstanding, deep, and thought-provoking album for this week's podcast.Telegraph RoadThis lengthy masterpiece was inspired while Knopfler was riding in his tour bus down the 70-mile road of the same name.  The song narrarates the development and history along the road as the decades roll past.  It is easy to describe this song as prog rock, but it also contains one of the best guitar solo riffs you will hear. Industrial DiseaseGoodness me, goodness me!  We have to highlight the US single from the album.  The title comes from a term for work-related illness, and the term in this song references both individual work illness and the decline of British industry in general.  The reference to Dr. Parkinson is a British professor and satirist who is famous for the phrase "work expands to fill the time available for its completion." ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Overture to the Marriage of Figaro by Mozart (from the motion picture “Trading Places”)Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd star in this comedy about a yuppie and a homeless man who are forced to trade places as the result of a bet by two rich stock brokers.   STAFF PICKS:Murder By Numbers by The PoliceBruce initiates the staff picks with a dark song about becoming a serial killer.  This Police song appears on the cassette and CD version of the album "Synchronicity," but was left off the vinyl due to lack of space.  It was written by Sting and Andy Summers, the only collaborative song on the album, and was recorded in a single take.  Rock of Ages by Def LeppardLynch brings us a huge song from Def Leppard's "Pyromania" album.  Producer Mutt Lange counts off the nonsensical "Gunter Glieben Glauten Globen," to open the song, and the lyrics form an anthem suitable for arena show openers.  Joan Jett's "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" was an inspiration to the creation of this anthem.Don't Pay the Ferryman by Chris deBurghWayne's staff pick takes a fantasy approach to the story of Charon and the crossing of the river Styx, advising not to pay until the trip is done.  Irish artist Chris deBurgh broke into the US top 40 with this song, peaking at number 34.  Lines from Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" can be heard in the bridge to the song.The Walls came Down by The Call Rob finishes the staff picks with a song that is inspired by the Biblical tale of the fall of Jericho.  Lead singer Michael Been would pull biblical references into his lyrics, including this song.  The Call formed in 1980 in California, and blended rock, New Wave, and post-Punk.  U2 and Simple Minds both consider The Call an influence in their music. COMEDY TRACK:My Bologna by "Weird Al" YankovicWe close out with Weird Al's meaty take on "My Sharona by" the Knack.

In the 1960s and 70s, the JBL D120/K120 was the top choice  for the touring pro who didn't want to worry about blowing a speaker on the road. However, in 1983,  Electro-Voice released the EVM-12L, and soon after everyone from Eric Clapton & Stevie Ray Vaughan to Mark Knopfler and Larry Carlton were using EV speakers in their rigs. Today,  I lay out some history/context, and compare it with my usual Eminence GA-SC64, as we look at the 200-watt, 20 pound, 12" speaker that changed guitar tones throughout the 80s and 90s, the EVM 12L.Follow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/askzac/To Support the Channel:Patreon  https://www.patreon.com/AskZacTip jar:  https://paypal.me/AskZacVenmo @AskZac Or check out my store for merch  - https://my-store-be0243.creator-spring.com/#askzac #evm12l #zacchildsSupport the show

Mark Knopfler OBE is one of the UK's most successful rock musicians and composers. He co-founded the band Dire Straits and their album Brothers in Arms is one of the bestselling albums of all time with 30 million copies sold. Alongside the many successes of Dire Straits, Mark has also composed hit songs for other artists like Private Dancer for Tina Turner and many soundtracks including Local Hero which features the perennial favourite Going Home.He first worked as a journalist on the Yorkshire Evening Post and was briefly an English lecturer in Essex before moving to a flat in Deptford with his brother and John Illsey. Dire Straits was born and became one of the UK's most successful bands before Mark called time in 1995 and pursued his own solo career.In recent years, Mark invested some of his money to build one of the UK's best recording studios to record his own music in alongside being a destination for other artists.He lives in London with his wife and still visits his studio most days to make music.DISC ONE: Ol' Man River - Ray Charles DISC TWO: Red Sails in the Sunset – Dean Martin DISC THREE: Wonderful Land - The Shadows DISC FOUR: Write Me a Few Lines - Mississippi Fred MacDowell DISC FIVE: Duquesne Whistle - Bob Dylan DISC SIX: Deborah's Theme - Ennio Morricone DISC SEVEN: Cleaning Windows - Van Morrison DISC EIGHT: Jessye 'Lisabeth - Bobbie Gentry BOOK CHOICE: The Blue Flower by Penelope Fitzgerald LUXURY ITEM: A guitar CASTAWAY'S FAVOURITE: Duquesne Whistle - Bob DylanPresenter Lauren Laverne Producer Sarah Taylor

In this episode of the Fret Files Podcast, Eric and Nat talk guitar news with the results of a few recent guitar auctions including guitars owned by Mark Knopfler, Prince, and John Lennon. Then they took questions about pickup polarity, a Kay Barney Kessel truss rod, a lot of wiring questions about Eric's book "Solid Sound," some talk about what types of polish Eric recommends, and a tool recommendation from down under.

"Everlasting Love" Plenty of people have gone it alone in music--blues and folk musicians are well-acquainted with being on stage with just a handful of songs and acoustic guitar. But for a new wave artist back in the early '80s, it wasn't a common thing to be a one man band. And Howard Jones was exactly that. In an age where multiple-membered outfits like Duran Duran and Depeche Mode graced the stage, Jones took the old blues and folk formula and gave it a synthy twist. It was a huge gamble and it paid off rather well. Over the course of his winning career, the Southampton-born Jones has stacked his CV with highlight after highlight: from '83-'92 he crushed it, with 15 top 40 singles around the world. He's put out nearly twenty albums that have sold close to ten million copies, he played Live Aid, Amnesty International's Festival of Youth, and The Grammys. What else did Howard Jones do? Tons: he's played with Mark Knopfler, Mark King of Level 42, Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder and Herbie Hancock, toured as a member of Ringo Starr's All Starr Band, toured with OMD, the Barenaked Ladies and Eurythmics, had his music appear in Party of Five and movies like Better Off Dead and he joined the board of directors for the Featured Artists Coalition which was founded in 2009. Howard is touring with ABC and Haircut 100 now and he's busy, but he made time for us and we certainly appreciate it. www.howardjones.com (http://www.howardjones.com) www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Today we share an hour-long interview with one of the true greats of guitar-making, John Monteleone. Collectors and musicians around the world have sought out John's archtop creations, resulting in six-figure price tags, a quartet of guitars at the Met (the Four Seasons), and even a song penned by Mark Knopfler (simply titled, "Monteleone"). He's also the subject of a full-length documentary, The Chisels Are Calling.  As if that isn't enough, nearly 50 of his instruments from throughout his career have been amassed for a very special exhibit at the Long Island Museum entitled "Musical Masterworks: John Monteleone's Guitars and Other Instruments." The exhibit runs through October 13th, 2024.  https://longislandmuseum.org/exhibition/musical-masterworks-john-monteleones-guitars-and-other-instruments/ From August 1-3, 2024, John also is hosting his own Art of the Guitar Festival in Stony Brook (just a mile away from the aforementioned museum). https://www.thejazzloft.org/monteleone During our chat, we talk about his early days in lutherie, building instruments and doing repairs for Mandolin Brothers. We chat about the influence of Jimmy D'Aquisto, what inspires him today, his workshop, new models on the horizon, and more.  The Fretboard Journal is proud to announce that we're throwing a guitar festival.
