1001 Albums Summary

Dire Straits by Dire Straits

Dire Straits first studio released album introduces us to the vocal of Mark Knopfler. The record composition of driving but mellowish rock music and that brings in influences from jazz and blues that makes the band's rhythm really shine. The hit song off the album "Sultans of Swing" is a timeless classic but the album as whole works so well together. Great first album by a band.
