Released in 2012 on Mercury Records, Privateering is Mark Knopfler's ambitious double album that showcases the full range of his songwriting and guitar work across blues, folk, and country influences. Earning a Metascore of 77 on Metacritic, the album received generally favorable reviews and has been praised by fans as his best solo effort to date, with standout tracks including "Redbud Tree," "Privateering," "Corned Beef City," and "Dream of the Drowned Submariner."
Musically, the album blends Knopfler's signature guitar playing against a rich tapestry of strings, flutes, and pennywhistle, creating a sound that is both adventurous and deeply personal. This EU import pressing is housed in a gatefold sleeve and pressed on heavy vinyl, making it a worthy addition to any serious collector's shelf.
