Dire Straits Lions HQ with Lyrics in Description

Track 9 from their self-titled debut album released in 1978 copyright Warner Bros. Records. It was recorded at Basing St. Studios in London where the band was formed. One of the best debut albums by any band exploded on the charts due to Mark Knopfler’s outstanding ability as a guitarist and songwriter. The technique and emotion in his unique style of playing make him one of the best to ever pick up the instrument. He used his 1938 National “style O” steel resonator guitar on “Water of Love” and “Wild West End.” The single “Sultans of Swing” was a worldwide hit, reaching No. 8 in the U.K. and No. 4 on Billboard. The album received excellent reviews and reached the Top 20 in ten countries, including No. 2 on Billboard. It was certified 2X Platinum in Switzerland, the U.K. and the U.S. and 4X Platinum in Canada. The band went on to sell more than 100 million albums, won four Grammy awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. Written by Mark Knopfler and produced by Muff Winwood.
