When I saw that ‪@MarkKnopfler‬ released a brand new album called One Deep River, I was really excited. I might do a review of the whole thing, but here's my first time hearing the single 'Two Pairs Of Hands' from this great record.
I hope you enjoy my reaction and analysis!

Thanks for shining a light on new MK release. He is still brilliant and a virtuoso at any tempo.

[@CarinTibellAhlin]

ALL Mark Knopfler songs are "story songs". He is an amazing storyteller. Please note, Mark has had a successful solo career since 1996! So this is no "come back" at all. This song says alot about playing off other musicians, live on stage. Love the whole album, it's wonderful, mature and masterful, as always.

[@britishjoseph631]

I’d absolutely love if you went and filmed yourself speaking to Mark Knopfler or even just getting close 😂

[@Boo.....]

Yes lad. I can't believe the level of his music still, after all these years. He's something else. Nice reaction. 👍🏻

[@avikchatterjee1945]

Boom like that....

[@fatimaemiko7073]

My Mark always amazing!!! Congratulations for your great choice ❤❤❤❤❤

[@toniprice1104]

Mark Knopfler never disappoints! And your reactions are lovely - thank you!

[@StevenQ74]

The guitarist playing rythm here is Richard Bennet who played with Neail Diamond for many years but has been in Marks band since 1996. He also played the solo on "Let your love flow" by The Bellamy Brothers

[@khaledbenhafed5605]

the king 👑 Mark knopfler ❤🎉

[@scandinavian75]

I'm a long time DS and MK fan, and Mark record almost all the song playing live as you said. And Guy Flercher tells that the first take is almost always the best one. Think about what a bunch of amazing musicians are them!!!!

[@peterlewis5151]

As well as the new album ,Mark has just released an ep called The Boy with another four great tracks....

[@HardRoutine_TOTW]

Agreed so we have a total of 16 tracks to enjoy!

[@ekstradycja]

​@@HardRoutine_TOTW correction: 25 new tracks. Hopefully you got yourself new album with bonus tracks ( 5 different ones on CD- amazing ones and 5 different on LP + new EP)

[@HardRoutine_TOTW]

@@ekstradycja I'll have to look into that!

[@karingreen396]

What a lovely gift this morning

[@altaee123]

Great song

[@bennettl23]

Love many of the tracks on this new album and most of Mark's solo work. It might be interesting for you to check out a performance of a song from 'A Night in London' to get an idea of the direction that Mark went in musically directly following the last massive Dire Straits tour. His great versatility becomes very clear the more you discover the music he created over time.

[@maruka1716]

I think it's John Illsley, the Dire Straits bass player, who owns the pub. Mark owns a recording studio where he does his own recordings, but it's also a commercial operation that other artists can rent. My favorites from the new album are Scavenger's Yard, This One's Not Going to End Well, and Sweeter than the Rain. I also like All Comers from the new EP.

[@StevenQ74]

I think David Gilmour recorded a few of his albums in Marks studio

[@annetteturner5972]

Yes, I agree about the pub. Mark does live nearby, in the New Forest on the Solent

[@HardRoutine_TOTW]

I also love Bad Day for a Knife Thrower, the solo outro is just pure joy.

[@FaanaMusic]

I see, that sounds cool, I might go down there and investigate.

[@KNOPFLERSGOD]

You should watch Mark's performance of Are We In Trouble Now from his live show called A Night in London.

[@waligerber9410]

MK never stood still. Even with dire straits he wrote 3-4 movie tracks. In the break up86-91 he played with his hero Chet Atkins and made a record( neck and neck), he founded the notting hillbillies, went on tour with EC and played from Dylan to Tina Turner with every name you come up, he played and sometimes produced the record. Now he has over 15 Movie soundtracks, made one solo album after the other followed by world tours. Every band from his Ära still plays there 70/80 songs till they die? He never ever stood still, that's the beauty and real love for music not the money! You would be astound with how many different players next to the soundtracks he has played, you will find not many!

[@rulerofthemoon]

That groove was made famous by JJ Cale. Check out Eric Clapton’s The Breeze which is a tribute to JJ. Mark contributed 2 tunes. And Mark has released 25 songs in the last month plus the Local Hero Guitar Hero thing. Lastly … story songs. Check out Boom, Like That or Why Aye Man. Both have crazy historical topics and videos.

[@gordonyoung1970]

Yes very very JJ Cale ,

[@agross12345]

...and check out Mark's beautiful "Someday" on that THE BREEZE album.

[@Anibal.HR.]

Genial Knopfler thanks your from Spain Canarias

[@Arman-bz3xu]

MK❤🎶💪❤️💪😎🙏

[@Anibal.HR.]

Listen single handed saylor from the album Comuniqué second diré straits

[@royworks7986]

Loved it.

[@AndyMorris-L666]

I like it, good to see Mark still getting out there.... style of song i would also like to hear Willie Nelson sing 😊

[@WendyvanToor]

Love it

[@grahamprice4716]

Love it, Mark still has that magic touch, but where are today's musicians that can play like him.

[@FaanaMusic]

Yeah, sadly there aren't many. 🤔

[@garff7557]

No one has ever played like mark

[@ronsbrat525]

Geoff Castellucci released his new video today May 10th... You Don't Mess Around With Jim by Jim Croce. It is absolutely amazing.

[@adrian_83am]

It would be great if you could speak with Mark

[@esayli-vainio6698]

Knopfler have a special nod for JJ Cale in this, his early influence and playing-model.

[@yonatanpat4010]

Keep going listen to the new album songs please❤, I really like the song SCAVENGERS YARD🙏🏼

[@FaanaMusic]

I listened to the whole album yesterday and this one also stood out to me!

[@mariariosriosgonzalez9281]

👏👏👏👏👏👏🇪🇦

[@techydude]

This is Knopfler’s… tenth? eleventh? solo album post-Straits (i.e. after 1995). I haven’t listened to this latest album yet, other than one or two songs they pre-released a month or two ago, and now this song. Although the songs and their production is top notch, and you’re right his band is made up of some of the best musicians in the world and what we just saw was almost certainly recorded in 1 take, there’s a… how do I say this without sounding too negative, boring consistency come into his last few albums. There’s very few ‘surprises’ to be experienced in his music any more :-(

[@StevenQ74]

10th solo album if you don't count the 9 movie soundtrack albums

[@riccizepmeusel6899]

Not necessarily boring, but listening to the whole album in one go is tiring. Each song seems slower than the last.

[@IAMisLove]

Subscribed. Great performance and reaction! First time I have heard him. If you would like to explore more, may I suggest a reaction to BABYMETAL. They are unique and have a worldwide fan base (The One). Their music has a positive and uplifting message. They have a fun and awesome performance: BABYMETAL - PA PA YA!! (feat. F.HERO) (OFFICIAL) Or more guitar featured: MAYA【Live Blu-ray/DVD「BABYMETAL BEGINS - THE OTHER ONE -」"BLACK NIGHT"】 🖖 ❤ Or to showcase the lead singer’s amazing voice: BABYMETAL - Monochrome - Piano ver. / THE FIRST TAKE 🖖 ❤

[@yonatanpat4010]

If you will meet Mark directly I it will be insane. it’s my dream to talk with Mark🥹

[@FaanaMusic]

I'll try and investigate a bit more about the jam session he apparently runs.
