The new Dire Straits album (according to the latest Rolling Stone magazine) is scheduled for release on or about May 13 - title not given. Rumor has it that tour dates will be announced soon. They haven't toured since 1980! Here's hoping I get a chance to see them. Their music is very good! Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists around - you can always count on a good album, not any of this top 40 BS from him!
