'Down The Road Wherever' review: Mark Knopfler switches gears on the ultimate long drive

The 14-track offering, Mark Knopfler's ninth solo studio album, is an affirmation of how well-traveled the guitarist is and he shows no signs of slowing down
UPDATED OCT 28, 2018

Mark Knopfler is the true journeyman. From the early '80s 'Going Home' and 'The Long Road' songs to his sojourner albums like 'Last Exit to Brooklyn', 'Sailing to Philadephia', 'Privateering', 'All The Roadrunning' and 'Tracker', one thing is crystal clear - Knopfler is well-traveled and shows no signs of slowing down. And, if that doesn't cement it, his latest musical offering 'Down The Road Wherever', the guitarist and singer-songwriter's ninth solo studio album, seals the deal on the voyager's passion for songs on the road.

Due for release November 16 on Knopfler’s own British Grove Records via Blue Note, the album features 14 new songs inspired by a range of stories he tells in each track - from his early days in Deptford with the erstwhile Dire Straits, a stray soccer fan lost in a strange town to the compulsion of a musician hitching home through the snow and a man out of time in his local greasy spoon diner.
