 | | Description: | Der berühmte Mark Knopfler von den Dire Straits mit seinem Nebenprojekt The Notting Hillbillies, bestehend aus Brendan Croker, Steve Phillips und Guy Fletcher. Sie nahmen nur ein einziges gemeinsames Album auf, "Missing...Presumed Having a Good Time", bevor die Mitglieder zurückkehrten, um sich auf ihre primären musikalischen Interessen zu konzentrieren. Das Ergebnis ist ein unaufdringlicher, lebendiger Durchlauf von meist traditionellen, bluesbasierten Songs mit einer Handvoll Eigenkompositionen. Die Stile reichen von den atemberaubenden Harmonien von "Railroad Worksong" mit der düsteren Gitarre von Knopfler über die Rockballade "Bewildered" im Stil der 50er Jahre bis hin zu dem fröhlichen, tropisch angehauchten "One Way Gal". Eine ausgefeilte Produktion der damaligen Zeit, eine Easy-Listening-Komposition und eine kodifizierte Vision des Blues. - ...A GOOD TIMECD reissue. Infamous Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits, with his side project; The Notting Hillbillies, including Brendan Croker, Steve Phillips, and Guy Fletcher. They recorded just one album together, "Missing... Presumed Having a Good Time," before the members returned to concentrate on their primary musical outlets. The result is a low-key, lively run-through of mostly traditional, blues-based songs with a handful of originals. The styles range from the stunning harmonies of "Railroad Worksong" with some somber guitar from Knopfler, to the "50s-style rock ballad 'Bewildered," to the cheerful, tropical flavored "One Way Gal." A polished production of the time, an easy listening composition, and a codified vision of the blues.?1990 Phonogram Ltd. (London) ©1990 Phonogram Ltd. (London).
Printed in West Germany."Missing...Presumed Having" is a CD by The Notting Hillbillies, released by the renowned label Vertigo. Musically, this album is rooted in Americana, country, roots rock and blues, with a warm, organic band sound built around acoustic and electric guitars, dobro, mandolin and vocal harmonies. The songs tell stories of everyday life, longing and quiet melancholy, yet the overall mood remains relaxed and soulful - ideal for listeners who appreciate finely crafted, song-oriented music with a rootsy, traditional feel. The production focuses on clarity and authenticity, giving each instrument space and highlighting the interplay between the musicians.
The Notting Hillbillies are a side project formed by Mark Knopfler (known as the driving force behind Dire Straits) together with close musical companions, focusing on their shared passion for American roots music. Instead of stadium-filling rock anthems, the band presents intimate, understated songs, subtle guitar work and detailed arrangements. Knopfler's experience as a multi-platinum artist and acclaimed songwriter is reflected in the tasteful guitar tones, the tight ensemble playing and the narrative quality of the lyrics, which have made him a highly respected figure in contemporary music. With this project, he shows another facet of his artistry and underlines his versatility beyond the huge commercial successes of Dire Straits.
