Poor boy blues

Got this in my youtube playlist. Has an early Ranchero!

 

I remember the song, but I never saw this video. I always thought that Knopfler really saved his career when he met Atkins. The two are simply two peas in a pod when it comes to making music.

 

Ahhh ... did you ever hear of Dire Straits? Money For Nothing? Sultans Of Swing?

Well, yeah, I know all that, but if you listen to Knopfler's entire catalog, he has a bit of 'sameness' to his songs, why he was in a rut.
