Mark Knopfler

STG Presents Mark Knopfler at The Moore Theatre in Seattle on Thursday, April 8, 2010.

Warner Bros. Records is set to release Mark Knopfler’s new recording Get Lucky on September 15. This is the sixth solo studio album from the legendary musician and follows 2007’s highly successful Kill To Get Crimson, which Rolling Stone heralded as “a gem” and USA Today described as, “…yet another unpretentious showcase for his unmistakable gifts as a musician, tunesmith and storyteller.”

Recorded at Knopfler’s award-winning British Grove Studios in West London, Get Lucky was co-produced with longtime collaborators, engineer Chuck Ainlay and keyboardist Guy Fletcher and featured Richard Bennett, Danny Cummings, John McCusker, Matt Rollings and Glenn Worf. The 11-track album explores a lifetime of musical roots exemplified by the title track. “The first itinerant person I ever met would sing in soul bands in winter, then work part-time 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 traveling characters I went on to meet in places I’d find myself working short-term, like farms, warehouses, building sites, before I got lucky with my songs.”
