I want my Straits


Blending Mark Knopfler’s slightly Dylanesque vocals with skiffle beats and roots guitar, the Dire Straits were the closest thing to a mainstream British bar band in the 70s and 80s. The result is a laid-back sound, with an occasional venture into hip sarcasm, that makes for pleasant walking music in this week’s wog. Want a nice groove to accompany your stroll through fall colors? The Straights might be your ticket. Check out Wog of Life at Podwogging.com.
