According to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary a tracker is a person who can find people or wild animals by following the marks that these leave on the ground.
It is also Mark Knopfler's latest album.
I am listening to "Lights of Taormina" and enjoying myself. I got that CD from my mother for Easter. A nice idea, given that I will go to a Knopfler concert in July.
To be honest I haven't paid much attention to what he did after the Dire Straits who were one of my favorite bands when I was young.
That will change soon. After listening to "Tracker" for the fifth time now, I have the feeling that this music goes well with my favorite Neil Young, Leonard Cohen and Johnny Cash tracks (not to forget Dylan)
It is not only the guitar playing, that was the center of the ol' Dire Straits stuff, but also really the lyrics and the composition of the songs.
These are real stories. Good ones. Intense ones.
I am looking forward to the July concert and hope to be able to hear more of his stories then.
