One Deep Rive, 10th solo album by Dire Strait's Mark Knopfler

180-gram 45 RPM double LP

Mastered at half speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios

Mark Knopfler will release his 10th solo studio album on April 12, 2024, on his own British Grove label via EMI. Titled One Deep River, it features 12 unhurriedly elegant new Knopfler songs, his warm Geordie vocal tone, his poetic storytelling lyrics and deft, richly melodic guitar playing, all present and correct and dazzling as ever.

The title track for the album reflects the Dire Strait's frontman's deep affection for the river that runs through his childhood home city Newcastle.

One Deep River was produced by Knopfler and his longstanding collaborator Guy Fletcher and was recorded at his state of the art British Grove Studios in London.One Deep River offers an unstoppable flow of future Knopfler classics, with their customarily learned lyrics and refined guitar textures. They draw on a lifetime of genre-crossing ingredients and influences in blues, folk, rock and beyond, and as usual, reveal their charms with unhurried grace and depth.

The band on the new album features Knopfler on guitars, Jim Cox and Guy Fletcher on keyboards, Glenn Worf on bass, Ian Thomas on drums and Danny Cummings on percussion, Richard Bennett on guitar, and newcomer Greg Leisz on pedal and lap steel; Mike McGoldrick provides whistle and uilleann pipes, and John McCusker plays fiddle, while the Topolski sisters Emma and Tamsin add backing vocals. All songs are written by Knopfler himself.
