 Mark Knopfler: Sailing to Philadelphia (2000): Reviews
Sailing To Philadelphia often sounds outright anachronistic, from the "Sultans Of Swing"-like "What It Is" to James Taylor's voice on the title track, yet it never comes across like another old English coot courting Baby Boomer record buyers.
With Sailing to Philadelphia, Knopfler has taken a break from the rootsy side projects and soundtrack work that have occupied him for the last seventeen years, and has evoked some of the grandeur of prime Dire Straits.
Sailing to Philadelphia, the singer's guest-star-heavy sophomore outing, is a deliberate, grown-up record (in a season which has seen a pronounced lack of adult offerings) that feels -- heavily in places -- like Dire Straits: Five Years Later.

"Sailing to Philadelphia" is a wonderful piece of storytelling, not only in Mark Knopfler's lyrics and vocals but, even more so, in the album's amazingly beautiful instrumentation.
Since the release of "Sailing to Philadelphia," Mark Knopfler has geared down again and changed pace for his most recent solo album, "Ragpicker's Dream," an acoustic diamond in the rough; thus proving yet again his versatility and his aversion to being type-cast.
Sailing to Philidelphia and El Macho are two examples of very different styles but both are superb.

Sailing to Philadelphia, Knopfler's second solo album and first since 1996, finds him once again making the CD he wants to make.
Sailing to Philadelphia is an unapologetically adult record.
Sailing also benefits from plenty of rich vocal cameos: James Taylor lends his voice to the title track, which bemoans the shortsightedness of the surveyor of the Mason-Dixon line; Van Morrison swaps verses with Knopfler on "The Last Laugh;" Gillian Welch and David Rawlings lend their earthy harmonies to two tracks.

 Mark Knopfler - Sailing to Philadelphia (Album Review)
Sailing to Philadelphia, his latest effort, is a bit tighter in focus.
Yet, there seems to be something missing from Sailing to Philadelphia that causes the album to occasionally drift into more routine adult contemporary pop fare.
Nevertheless, Sailing to Philadelphia, despite being a solid effort that would appeal to his biggest fans, is hardly Knopfler's best work.

 Reviews of Mark Knopfler | Sailing to Philadelphia, Sumack | Now Hear This, Bap Kennedy | Lonely Street, Claire Lynch | ...
Mark Knopfler, Sailing to Philadelphia (Warner Bros. 2000) - Sailing to Philadelphia is the new effort from former Dire Straits frontman, Mark Knopfler.
Sailing to Philadelphia finds Knopfler working with a familiar five-piece band - Richard Bennett on guitars, Jim Cox on piano and Hammond organ, Guy Fletcher on keyboards and backing vocals, Glenn Worf on bass, and Chad Cromwell on drums.
Kennedy sails best on the tracks with trumpet player Martin Shaw - "Lonely Street," and most impressively, "Almost Always Wrong." "Almost Always Wrong" is a classic uptempo Irish rocker, with a great Wall-of-Sound approach - I still can't figure out how Kennedy overlaid all the instruments to get this great studio result.

 Sailing To Philadelphia by Mark Knopfler CD
Having crafted such a singular sound for himself both in Dire Straits and as a respected film composer, it's gratifying to hear that Mark Knopfler's consummate musicianship has only gotten better on what is only his second solo album in a career that began in the mid- '70s.
For SAILING TO PHILADELPHIA, Knopfler once again looks to America for inspiration, starting with the stirring title track that draws from Thomas Pynchon's fictionalized account of English adventurers/surveyors Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon and which finds James Taylor playing Mason to Knopfler's Dixon.

There was never much doubt that the fame and lifestyle coincident with platinum sales made him uncomfortable, and discontinuing the Dire Straits billing was a means of walking away from all that.
It also allowed him to indulge his love for various musical genres more, and that process continues on Sailing to Philadelphia.
True, Knopfler's basic approach remains the same -- as a guitarist, he is still enamored of the minor-key finger-picking style of J.J. Cale, and as a singer/songwriter, he remains enthralled with Bob Dylan.

 Harmony Central®: Album Review: Mark Knopfler - Sailing to Philadelphia
The first seconds of this album announce that Knopfler is back, his Strat singing and crying, his voice worn and warm, and his powers as a songwriter in no way diminished.
That opening track, "What It Is," makes this clear, with a clear demo of his ability to take a simple three-chord sequence, thread it with a silvery, hookish guitar line, and make it breathe with disciplined dynamics and fragile, compelling textures.
From that point, Sailing to Philadelphia takes us to the fountain again and again.

In the 1760s two English surveyors, Jeremiah Dixon and Charles Mason, mapped a 223-mile line between the colonies of Pennsylvania and Maryland to settle a boundary dispute that had resulted from overlapping land grants to their respective proprietors.
In this song Mark Knopfler imagines what America meant to the pair as they sailed from the Old World to the New, echoing some of the themes you will see in the readings for this week.
This geographical and ideological divide ultimately resulted in civil war, reflecting the limits of efforts to create a single national identity in the early republic and antebellum periods.

 Orlando Weekly - Music Review - Sailing to Philadelphia
But Knopfler’s latest, Sailing to Philadelphia, suggests that his former group merely represented part of the Knopfler sound.
He mixes Mexican inflections and jazzy flugel horn on "El Macho." Country and darkly hued rock meet on "Speedway to Heaven." Van Morrison even puts his Irish-soul stamp on "The Last Laugh." The title song, which pairs Knopfler and James Taylor on lead vocals, could have been written for Simon & Garfunkel.
Philadelphia leaves only one criticism, that the performances and sonics are almost too perfect.

The result is "Sailing to Philadelphia," a stirring collection of tunes that can only be described as cinematic.
Imaginative, intelligent, and thoughtful, "Sailing to Philadelphia" will probably not appeal to the teen-pop crowd, who weren't even born when Dire Straits were in their heyday.
Other times, especially during ballads like the title track "Sailing to Philadelphia," it sounds like a track from Dire Straits "Love Over Gold." And a pleasant surprise is "Prarie Wedding," which is a rare stylistic return to the early Dire Straits sound of the classic "Communique" album.
