Episode 18: 'Dire Straits' with Quint Starkie

Singer songwriter Quint Starkie joins Mike for the last episode
of 'My Classic Album' in 2017! 


Dire Straits' self titled debut album is the subject of this
month's podcast and together Mike and Quint explore just what
made this album so special amongst a hugely punk orientated music
scene in the late 1970s.


What are Quint's memories of hearing Dire Straits for the first
time?


Why did Mark Knopfler initially have an issue with 'Sultans of
Swing'?


How does a track like 'Lions' still resonate strongly in today's
society?


 


PLUS Mike reviews 'Jupiter Calling', the latest album from the
Corrs and reveals which classic album YOU chose as the My Classic
Album of 2017.


All this and more on this edition of 'My Classic Album'.
