Dire Straits' 1978 debut album, Dire Straits, is distinguished by jazz-inflected mix of folk, blues, country and rock. Guitarist Mark Knopfler displays uncanny precision, intricacy and texture. Highlights include "Sultans Of Swing" and "Down By The Water Line".
The band garnered plenty of attention but it took another seven years before BROTHERS IN ARMS turned them into global superstars. After one more studio album, the band split up but they left behind a lasting legacy that continues to be embraced by new fans and new generations every year.
