Mark Knopfler – VAISON LA ROMAINE (2CD) Compact Disc Double

Description

Mark Knopfler’s first solo album, Golden Heart, was released in March 1996. It featured the UK single ‘Darling Pretty’. The album’s recording sessions helped create Knopfler’s backing band, also known as The 96ers. It featured Knopfler’s old bandmate Guy Fletcher on keyboards. This band’s main line-up lasted much longer than any Dire Straits line-up. Also in 1996, Knopfler recorded guitar for Ted Christopher’s Dunblane massacre tribute cover, ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’.
