When they agreed the unwritten law that timehonoured artists with brilliant track records get less creative as they go on Mark Knopfler obviously wasnt paying attention. He was too busy writing recording touring and enjoying it all. So as we approach the end of the first decade of the 21st century and other multimillionsellers nudge their careers forward at a snails pace Knopfler prepares to release his fifth studio album of the decade and its another jewel. Get Lucky recorded at his awardwinning British Grove Studios in west London and coproduced with longtime cohorts Chuck Ainlay and Guy Fletcher is a beautifully crafted exploration of a lifetime of musical roots. fluently combining folk and blues with his original song writing the whole containing personalised British ingredients and vivid observational lyricism. The autobiographical thread running through Get Lucky is exemplified by the title track. The first itinerant person I ever met would sing in soul bands in winter then work parttime in fairgrounds or go pick fruit down south when the weather turned warm explains Knopfler. I was about 15 years old stuck in school and envious. Get Lucky came from him and other travelling characters I went on to meet in places Id find myself working shortterm like farms warehouses building sites before I got lucky with my songs. In the end Mark Knopfler thrives on never taking the audience for granted. I think theres still a place for the game that Im playing he muses. Its not on the same pitch as a lot of other people are playing mines over here and theirs is over there but people still want to hear crafted songs.
