Dire Straits - Calling Elvis

healingfromtheheart2u

Review by Sharon Halliday

Calling Elvis, the fifth studio album by British rock band Dire Straits, was released in 1991. The album features ten tracks and was produced by Mark Knopfler and Alan Clark. The album is a mix of rock, country, and blues, and features the band's signature guitar-driven sound.

The album's title track, "Calling Elvis," was a hit single in the UK and reached the top 20 on the US Mainstream Rock chart. The song features a catchy chorus and Knopfler's distinctive guitar playing. Other standout tracks on the album include "Heavy Fuel," "The Bug," and "On Every Street."

Calling Elvis received mixed reviews from critics upon its release. Some praised the album's songwriting and musicianship, while others criticized it for being too similar to the band's previous work.
