Review

In a blindfold test, one might still confuse Dire Straits cofounder David Knopfler with his older brother. There are more than subtle differences, however. For starters, this Knopfler's vocal timbre is higher pitched. He also doesn't stick to an immediately identifiable signature guitar sound. In fact, on Wishbones, Knopfler makes as much of an impression via his piano, vibes, and mandolin work. His music is often more downbeat and melancholic, with melodies that frequently drift closer to folk and jazz than to rock. A terrific cover of John Martyn's "May You Never"--popularized by Eric Clapton--and the stinging, Scottish-inflected "Shadowlands" are as upbeat as these tracks get. The main difference, though? Whereas Mark Knopfler has often been compared to Bob Dylan in terms of sound, David lyrically recalls the younger Dylan. He's openly political on songs like "A Clear Day (St. Swithon's Day)," "Jericho," and "The Bones." And "Karla Faye," a scathing indictment of George W. Bush, addresses the first execution of a woman in Texas since the Civil War. --Bill Holdship
