The tour lineup included Mark Knopfler (guitar, vocals), Guy Fletcher (keyboards), Richard Bennett (guitar), Glenn Worf (bass), Chad Cromwell (drums) and Jim Cox (keyboards). This initial touring group later became known to Knopfler fans as the 96-ers.[12] A preview performance with an expanded lineup of players was given on 15 April 1996 at the BBC Building in London. This show was recorded and later released on video as A Night in London.[12] Critical reception[edit] Professional ratingsReview scoresSourceRatingAllMusic[2] In his review for AllMusic, William Ruhlmann found that despite Knopfler's trademark guitar work and sardonic lyrics, there was "little on the album that was new or striking, and Knopfler seemed to fall back on familiar guitar techniques while intoning often obscure lyrics.[2] Ruhlmann set aside any reference to the musical effect of Knopfler's eclectic and newly introduced acoustic bass, string arrangements or traditional Irish accompaniments and concluded: .mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}Knopfler hadn't used the opportunity of a solo album to challenge himself, and at the same time he had lost the group identity (however illusory) provided by the Dire Straits name. The result was listenable but secondhand.[2] Track listing[edit] All tracks are written by Mark Knopfler.No.TitleLength1."Darling Pretty"4:312."Imelda"5:263."Golden Heart"5:014."No Can Do"4:545."Vic and Ray"4:366."Don't You Get It?"5:167."A Night in Summer Long Ago"4:438."Cannibals"3:419."I'm the Fool"4:2810."Je Suis Désolé"5:1411."Rüdiger"6:0312."Nobody's Got the Gun"5:2513."Done with Bonaparte"5:0614."Are We in Trouble Now"5:54Total length:70:18[2][13] Personnel[edit] Music Mark Knopfler – guitar, vocals Richard Bennett – acoustic guitar (1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 11, 12), guitar (5, 6) tiplé (10) Sonny Landreth – National steel guitar (10), backing vocals (10) Don Potter – acoustic guitar (14) Paul Franklin – pedal steel guitar (1, 9, 11, 12, 14) Derek Bell – Irish harp (1) Paul Brady – whistle (1, 7, 13) Seán Keane – violin (1, 7, 13) Dónal Lunny – bouzouki (1, 7, 13) Máirtín O'Connor – accordion (1, 7, 13) Liam O'Flynn – uilleann pipes (7, 13) Steve Conn – accordion (10) Jo-El Sonnier – accordion (8) Michael Doucet – fiddle (10) Matt Rollings – piano (1, 5, 11) Barry Beckett – piano (9, 12) Hargus "Pig" Robbins – piano (14) Bill Cuomo – Hammond organ (6) Guy Fletcher – keyboards (3, 4, 8, 12), backing vocals (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8) Steve Nathan – Hammond organ (1, 2, 8, 9, 12, 14), keyboards (3, 5, 9, 11, 14) Paul Moore – bass guitar (13), string bass (7) Michael Rhodes – bass guitar (1, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14) Glenn Worf – bass guitar (2, 3, 6), string bass (4, 8) Eddie Bayers – drums (1, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14) Robbie Casserly – drums (13) Chad Cromwell – drums (2, 3, 4, 6, 8) Danny Cummings – backing vocals (1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11), percussion (2, 4, 5, 11, 12, 14) Terry McMillan – djembe (5) Billy Ware – triangle (10) Brendan Croker – backing vocals (4, 8) Vince Gill – backing vocals (12, 14)[13] Production Mark Knopfler – producer Chuck Ainlay – producer, engineer, mixing Brian Masterson – engineer Graham Lewis – assistant engineer, mixing assistant Denny Purcell – mastering Jonathan Russell – mastering assistant David Scheinmann – photography[13] Charts[edit] .mw-parser-output .col-begin{border-collapse:collapse;padding:0;color:inherit;width:100%;border:0;margin:0}.mw-parser-output .col-begin-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .col-break{vertical-align:top;text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .col-break-2{width:50%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-3{width:33.3%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-4{width:25%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-5{width:20%}@media(max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .col-begin,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody>tr,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody>tr>td{display:block!important;width:100%!important}.mw-parser-output .col-break{padding-left:0!important}} Weekly charts[edit] Chart (1996) Peakposition Australian Albums (ARIA)[14] 28 Austrian Albums (Ö3 Austria)[15] 8 Belgian Albums (Ultratop Flanders)[16] 10 Belgian Albums (Ultratop Wallonia)[17] 8 Dutch Albums (Album Top 100)[18] 3 Finnish Albums (Suomen virallinen lista)[19] 7 French Albums (SNEP)[20] 38 German Albums (Offizielle Top 100)[21] 5 New Zealand Albums (RMNZ)[22] 16 Norwegian Albums (VG-lista)[23] 2 Scottish Albums (OCC)[24] 12 Swedish Albums (Sverigetopplistan)[25] 4 Swiss Albums (Schweizer Hitparade)[26] 3 UK Albums (OCC)[27] 9 US Billboard 200[28] 105 Year-end charts[edit] Chart (1996) Position Austrian Albums (Ö3 Austria)[29] 50 Dutch Albums (Album Top 100)[30] 40 German Albums (Offizielle Top 100)[31] 36 Swiss Albums (Schweizer Hitparade)[32] 17 UK Albums (OCC)[33] 85 Certifications[edit] Region Certification Certified units/sales Australia (ARIA)[34] Gold 35,000^ Canada (Music Canada)[35] Gold 50,000^ Netherlands (NVPI)[36] Gold 50,000^ Norway (IFPI Norway)[37] Gold 25,000* Spain (PROMUSICAE)[38] Platinum 100,000^ Switzerland (IFPI Switzerland)[39] Gold 25,000^ United Kingdom (BPI)[40] Gold 100,000^ Summaries Europe (IFPI)[41] Platinum 1,000,000* * Sales figures based on certification alone.^ Shipments figures based on certification alone.
