Dire Straits - On Every Street

180-gram vinyl reissue

Platinum-selling final studo album by Dire Straits featuring "Call Elvis"

On Every Street, the sixth and final Dire Straits album amazes, if only for its apparent refusal to exploit the success of its predecessor, the chart-topping 1985 masterpiece Brothers in Arms, writes reviewer Bill Forman for Amazon.com. "Sure, radio programmers could hear echoes of 'Money for Nothing' in 'Heavy Fuel,' or traces of 'Walk of Life' in 'The Bug,' but Mark Knopfler wouldn't have waited six years to follow up the band's megaplatinum Brothers in Arms if that was all he had in mind. Instead, he took time out to play with the Notting Hillbillies and Chet Atkins (while most British guitar heroes idolize American blues, Knopfler obviously has a thing for Nashville).
