	Billboard.com - Biography - Dire Straits
		Dire Straits emerged during the post-punk era of the late '70s, and while their sound was minimalistic and stripped down, they owed little to punk.
		As their career progressed, Dire Straits became more refined and their new maturity happened to coincide with the rise of MTV and the compact disc.
		Once the tour was completed, Dire Straits went on hiatus for several years, as Knopfler produced records by Randy Newman and Joan Armatrading, scored films, toured with Eric Clapton, and recorded a duet album with Chet Atkins (Neck and Neck, 1990).

	dire straits
		The first album, Dire Straits (1978), sold rapidly with groovy songs like "sultans of swing", "down to waterline" and "six blade knife".A fantastic first effort, it laid to the foundation for what was to come.
		Dire Straits has a unique sound, drawn from a lot of different music source like rock’n’roll, country, and Knopfler’s native Celtic music, combined with his Dylanesque vocal delivery style and his magical bluesy finger-picked guitar riffs woven around Illsely’s steady bass guitar-work.
		For all their popularity and success, Dire straits were rather low profile, preferring to let the quality of the music and its sleek production speak for them rather than too much of publicity.

	American Values in Dire Straits
		The answer is: Americans who revere our heritage of freedom and independence must have the courage to defy 1990's political correctness and uphold core American values – by politely but firmly refusing to intervene, regardless of one's sympathies.
		We must uphold Madison's wise and principled admonition to exclude "foreign intrigues and foreign partialities" by staying the hell out of the ongoing Chinese Civil War in the Taiwan Straits in 1999, just as China refrained from siding with either the Union or the Confederacy during the American Civil War in 1861.
		Currently living and working in Taiwan, Chu is the son of a retired high-ranking diplomat with the ROC government.

		Essentially this is the "real" Dire Straits, not the electronically influenced outfit of "Brothers In Arms" fame, but a group with a classic bar band sound, who combine rock, jazz, blues, country and folk for the ultimate debut album.
		Dire Straits (in this incarnation) are tight, and rhythmically limber, while Knopfler's distinctive vocals and literate writing draw the listener in relentlessly.
		However you define their sound, though, listening to Dire Straits' self-titled debut album 25 years after its publication, it is still amazing how rounded and accomplished their style was even then.

		Dire Straits' minimalistic interpretation of pub-rock had already crystallized by the time they released this album.
		And while the bar-band mentality of pub-rock is at the core of Dire Straits--even the aforementioned breakthrough single offers a lament for a neglected pub-rock band--their music is already beyond the simple boogies and shuffles of their forefathers.
