2.0 out of 5 stars Let the Buyer Beware!, April 12, 1999

This review is from: Booze Bros By Brewers Droop (Audio CD)

This collection contains very passable bar room rhythm and blues, but if you are buying it to hear some interesting interplay between Mark Knopfler and Dave Edmunds, forget it! Mark Knopfler plays on only three of the albums 10 tunes, while Dave Edmunds input is limited to picking up instruments on only one of the tracks while producing/co-producing 4 others, none of them bearing the stamp of Knopflers trademark licks. If you have the money to burn, go for it. I think you'd be better served directing it towards any of either artists solo works.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mark Knopler & Dave Edmunds The Booze Brothers by Droop, January 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Booze Bros By Brewers Droop (Audio CD)

If you are buying this CD for Knopfler, forget it. He is only on 3 cuts, and these are unrecognizable and can easily be missed. I found nothing else interesting on the CD. Spend your money elsewhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why can't I give this production -1 stars ?, September 23, 2004

I don't mind taking chances on albums and not getting what I expect, and Mark Knopfler is one of the few artists for whom I will buy a title sight unseen, YET I am so bitter about this purchase, that I am posting my first and possibly only review here.

What's the problem ? Primarily, this is a CD printed and sold ONLY to capitalize on the names of MK and DE. MK is only listed for a few of the tracks, and for all I can tell, his involvement was to hold a mike for someone.

Secondly, even at his worst, MK is still interesting, either musically vocally or lyrically, in an idiosyncratic way, but this album is quite bland.

Thirdly, the material is ordinary and uninvolving; nothing about it makes me sit up and want to rewind it, or crank it, or share it with someone.

I really do believe that if MK had a say in it, this album would never have been allowed to be sold.

On the good side, I learned that "When in doubt look at the publisher name".

July, 2011. I forgot that I wrote this review, until I saw the link from my Amazon page. I still stand by it. To the 26 people that found the review helpful: thanks for the votes, glad I could help.
