Does anyone know the details of the Bruce brothers? Please give me as much detailed information as possible.

Information about Mark Knopfler and the Terrible Strait

The horror channel 1976 was established in Detford, southwest London. The band appeared at the peak of punk music, but it had nothing in common with this movement, and finally won the title of mainstream rock band. They have sold many records all over the world, and their success is mainly attributed to Mark Knopfler's guitar performance (born on1August 2, 949 12), a unique singer and guitarist influenced by Dylan, and also the core figure of the band.

Novler didn't start his music career until he was 28 or 29. Before that, he worked in two professions (journalist and teacher). During this period, he absorbed many musical influences [the most famous ones are Dylan, Bob and J.J. Kyle] and his song writing and guitar playing skills were completely mature, which played a great role in the early acceptance of the "Strait of Terror" by various music groups.

After combining with his brothers David (guitarist) and John Illsley (bassist), Novler added drummer Pique Withers to the cast, and they began to hold some small performances in the joint organization of London Hotel. Finally, they spent 120 recording a demo tape, including their later classic song "Sultans ofng", which was played on the program of radio London host Charlie Geller. As a result, record companies flocked to sign with the band. 1978, they signed a contract with a record company to record the song "King of Swing" and a record "Strait of Terror". Although critics appreciate its flashy expert style, British fans seldom pay attention to it. However, this record is more in line with the tastes of American rock fans, so it is easier to play radio songs than most records from Britain at that time. In a blink of an eye, they had a song and a record that was popular in America.

This success was repeated in other places, including returning to Britain, where the song ranked ninth on the charts and fifth on the album ... After that, "Strait of Terror" quickly became a rock band with great achievements in the world. The album Bulletin published by 1979 is almost the same as the previous records, and it also sells well all over the world. After the release of this record, David left the band and started his personal development. 1980 The third album, Making a Movie, brought a fresher sound to this record by Roy Bittan from Springsteen's "E Street" band. Making movies has achieved considerable success in Britain and America, although critics criticized their music for being too slow. However, this album still won a gold record, in which Romeo and Juliet and Skateaway became popular songs on radio and MTV. 1980 tour, guitarist Hal Lindes and keyboard player Allen Clark also joined the band.

Meanwhile, Mark Knopfler's reputation as a guitarist continues to grow. He left the band for a while to work with Bob Dylan and the steely Dan. So it took a long time to publish the fourth album "Love Gold" on 1992. This record was made by Novler himself and sold more than previous records. This album is full of lengthy and experimental works. The single "Private Survey" won the second place in the UK charts, became the first album in the UK charts, and became a gold record in the United States. Shortly after the album was published, Terry Williams replaced Withers as drummer. At this time, Novler began to explore new ways of music outside the "Strait of Terror", and made music for the film "Country Hero, Carl and Comfort and Joy", which appeared in Morrison's album. Except for the EP album "Twisting by the Pool" published by 1983, The Strait of Terror was in a state of extinction for most of the two years from 1983 to 1984. During this period, Mark Knopfler produced the album "Pagan" for Bob Dylan. Tina's comeback album created a private dancer and made a recording knife for the Aztec camera. 1984 In the spring, the band released a double album Alchemy. At the end of this year, the band entered the recording studio to record their fifth album and added a new member, keyboard player Guy Fletcher. Paoze was officially published in the summer of 1985, and it is a breakthrough album of Straits of Terror. Ironically, one of the songs mocking music videos, Money for Nothing, actually became a hit song with the help of MTV TV, ranking in the top 65,438 in the national charts. In Britain, this album was also the highest-selling album in the 1980s. Walking Life and So Far kept the albums on the charts until 1986. To promote this album, the band held nearly 200 performances. Subsequently, Mark Knopfler produced an album for Newman and Joan Ama's trade, participated in the tour of eric clapton, and collaborated with chet atkins on an album "Keep Up". 1989 formed a country rock band "Notting Hill" and published an album "Missing" ... Suppose you had a good time in the second year.

After a series of personal activities, Mark Knopfler picked up the Channel of Terror again at 1990. The main members at this time were easley, Clark, Fletcher and some professional musicians. 199 1 year, the new album "In Every Street" was published in people's expectation, but unfortunately, this album did not become a platinum album in the United States as people expected, and the top 40 lotus charts did not go in, not even a hit song. Similarly, their tours are disappointing, and their tickets for European and American tours are sometimes not sold at all. After the tour, the live album was released that night, and then the band took an indefinite long vacation. Mark Knopfler published his 1 official album "Golden Heart" in 1996, but it didn't get much applause. Perhaps, the outstanding talents of the "Strait of Terror" and Mark Knopfler have gone forever with the passing of the 1980s.

From a commercial point of view, the Straits of Terror, especially Mark Knopfler, has proved that they are one of the most successful rock groups since the 1970s, and have sold nearly 20 million records all over the world.

"Chant" ... Mark Knopfler's singing sometimes seems melodious, and sometimes it's just plain-the Strait has always been regarded as "adult rock", a sad feeling after vicissitudes of life, and an open-minded understanding of the world. As one of the greatest guitarists in the world, Mark is also the only one who has never used a pick. His skills are superb and his arrangement is smooth and delicate. The band's works are not hysterical or petty, except for the deep, philosophical and warm self-deprecating lyrics (completely different from the common petty self-pity)-just look at the epic lyrics of Telegraph Road. People are often attracted by the unpredictable electric guitar in Mark's hands, but ignore the warmth and wisdom he exudes from his singing. The word "wisdom" is not something that every singer can feel. The sad (actually hoarse, hehe) voice that makes Bel Canto singers turn pale when they hear it shows no sign of being out of tune when it is "squeezed" in their throat. If you think MK sings "out of tune", it is probably a misunderstanding of the melody. Mark is certainly a real master of intonation-he can find whatever he wants.

Sailing gracefully in the dust of Ordos.

The difference between blues and jazz is like the contrast between sake and Hennessy. Of course, I'm not talking about the cliche of blues. I mean, listening to the blues is like drinking, falling down slowly. Blues and blues have a profound insight into the world, which is related to the understanding of life. Jazz is glamorous (sexy? )。 The combination of two kinds of hearing constitutes the whole process of intoxication. Jazz charged behind the blues, excited and then silent.

The terrible channel is not a simple blues band, they are a rock band. Their music is rooted in J.J. Cale's soothing blues rock, and occasionally influenced by jazz and country music. The lyrics are based on Bob Dylan's narrative style of stream of consciousness. Anyone who has listened to their music will never forget his soul, Mark Knopfler's extraordinary guitar skills, his deep voice and his cold guitar. Never forget 1989 The shock of listening to Paoze for the first time.

This "Sailing to Philadelphia" is Mark Knopfler's second solo album after 1996' s debut album "Golden Heart". Strictly speaking, this album is not a new album, it was released at the end of last year. It continues Knoop Fleur's multi-element style, but the deep roots of his blues music have not changed. In Sailing for Philadelphia, Knoop Fleur once again showed his super talent ―― every song he wrote was so beautiful and exquisite, and his guitar playing was always as mellow and wonderful as it was then. In addition to music, it is worth noting that there are lyrics. Mark Knopfler had already proved his profound insight into life in the lyrics of Paoze and Glittering Money. Similarly, this album is no exception.

The theme of this album is travel. There are poor missionaries and lonely musicians on the journey. He looked at the world coldly like a bard, observing the difference between wealth and power and poverty and humility. The first song, "What's this", depicts a drunken night outside a Scottish pub: "The pub is closed/drunks stagger in the square/men and women meet/there is a crackling sound in the air". The second song (that is, the opening song) moved the location to the United States. The lyrics tell about the discovery of the state boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland by British explorers Jeremiah Dixon and Charles Mei Sen in the18th century. The content is adapted from the novel. Mark Knopfler and james tyler talked about "liberation", "freedom" and "a new day", and Mark Knopfler was completely sober.

This is the real reason why I like Mark Knopfler. Elegant music and profound artistic conception. He never writes songs that moan without illness. I especially like Silvertown Blues and Vagrancy, which he sang with Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Defoe on this album. This deep quality is especially suitable for Mark Knopfler's feeling, which is also the most attractive place of his music. This album looks like a musical feast. In addition to the above, he has also worked with Van Morrison, Gillian Welch, David Rollins, Henny and Paul Franklin. But the cooperation with Gillian Welch and David Rollins is the best, which is vividly shown in the song Na Ziereis Raceway, which is the most authentic bluegrass music and a song related to racing.

Speaking of racing, there is also a song called "Addict Doll" in the album, which is also road music. The whole song is in the old blues style, and Mike Henderson's Mandelin reinforced this feeling. This song is a story about drug abuse. Mark is first-rate in controlling his emotions with music.

Basically, this album, like all the albums of the Straits, is quite even in content and the songs are of high quality. There is no doubt that this is the elegant gesture of Mark Knopfler, the master of kungfu.
