Status Updates From My Life in Dire Straits: Th...

tot nu toe geleerd dat de album cover van hun eerste album veel cooler had kunnen zijn als ze niet saai en Brits waren

My Shaylas :(

Him talking about Paradiso with so much love and fondness feels so weird

My shaylas☹️☹️☹️☹️

I’m LOVING it so far!!! I love the band until eternity and this just makes me love them more

The author is a true professional, stating that the fight between two brothers is still not his business. He then proceeds to explain the situation very objectively.

I have now finished the book until the release of the second album. I still have nothing to complain about the writing style and I'm starting to get excited about playing music myself again.

John's youth was a great read, it really is interesting to get to learn more about the years prior to Dire Straits. It is also a welcome change to read how the lads met through one of the band members instead of through media.

I am now starting the section where Dire Straits was born, I am so excited to read the story to come. John has a great way of writing which results in an easy reading experience.

Nice introduction so far, excited to see what else the book will bring. It also includes a beautiful foreword by a well-respected virtuoso.

Good read for those interested in the group Dire Straits.

Not something I’d normally have chosen, but a reviewer gotta do what he gotta do. Illsley’s early life-story is fascinating, well-written, informative and 100% ego-free. Straits are recording their second album with Jerry Wexler at the board, and the dynamic can almost be felt. I just hope that the remaining 154 pages don’t fall into the hotel-gig-bus-studio trap. Somehow, I think John Illsley’s above that.
