Brothers in Arms

CD Details

Dire Straits released Brothers in Arms in 1985, an album that showcases Mark Knopfler’s distinctive songwriting, distinctive vocals, and intricate guitar style. The band had built their reputation on a rootsy approach that stood apart from the trends of the previous decade, and this record finds them embracing a grander sonic scope than their earlier work. Taking full advantage of the CD format’s expanded capacity, the album features nine tracks including the MTV hit “Money for Nothing,” the upbeat “Walk of Life,” the reflective “So Far Away,” and the title track, alongside narrative-driven pieces like “Ride Across the River.”

This is the CD edition of Brothers in Arms, containing all nine songs with a total runtime of approximately 55 minutes. Dire Straits’ ambitious approach on this record helped establish them as prominent figures in the digital age, and the album remains their most recognized work.
