I'm a huge fan of MK as a guitar player in general, and as a songwriter in Dire Straits, but have never warmed up to him as a solo artist. I'm sad to say I find his music boring compared to his work with DS.
His guitar work on DS albums is just "sick" to put it crudely. What he does on "Sultans of Swing" on "Alchemy," a double live album, is simply inhuman. Every time I listen to it, I shake my head in disbelief when the song ends. I must've listened to it hundreds of times over the years...:)
