As I said, it does go for a little over 14 minutes, but it does not feel like that at all. This feels like a classical piece with various movements all worked together seamlessly. The music builds up gloriously " …like a rolling river" and then the guitar peels off a solo that is stunning, and then it slows down again.
It is another song that tells an amazing story.
It tells the tale of the opening up of a part of America, centred on the Telegraph Road which helped keep people informed and connected. That instantly recognisable Knopfler guitar sound is front and centre, but it shares the stage with the piano. Starting with a synthesiser and thunder sound effects, it soon develops into a slow piano and guitar opening before the rest of the band comes in. The first is the fourteen minute mini-epic ' Telegraph Road'. Side one (come on, yes, sides) has two tracks on it. To the album! All tracks were written by Mark Knopfler, who also produced the album, but it is not a one-man show.

This was a band that was tight, knew what they were doing, and had a leader in Mark Knopfler who knew what he wanted and how to get the best out of all of them. It is one of the great guitar albums, and, to my mind, still stands up today as a wonderful piece of musicianship. I do find it a shame that when people talk about Dire Straits today, they tend to focus on their first, self-titled album or Brothers In Arms, and this album gets overlooked. I don't know if there is an updated version available (20 or 30 year collector's tin, you know the deal), but I do know that on the follow-up album – Alchemy, a live album (and one of the best live albums ever produced, in my opinion) – some of the stand-out tracks came from Love Over Gold. I find the music just sets a good mood for a dark fantasy story. This album is exquisite, and what was side one is still something that gets played way too much in my home. My ethics are high because my parents did a great job.This album was a huge seller in Australia, on the back of two singles, and I got it in 1983 on cassette, which later had to be replaced by the CD because I'd worn one particular track out. She has done so.” By some reports Dylan and Sara remained friends after the acrimony of the divorce subsided, and Clinton Heylin writes that the photo of Dylan on a hillside in Jerusalem, which appeared on the inner sleeve of the 1983 album “Infidels” was taken by Sara.ĭiscussing his parents’ marriage, Jakob Dylan said in 2005: “My father said it himself in an interview many years ago: “Husband and wife failed, but mother and father didn’t.

Sara played the role of Clara in the movie “Renaldo and Clara,” directed by Dylan, and the film (made in 1975 and released in 1978) was described by a Dylan biographer as “in part a tribute to his wife”.ĭuring the divorce proceedings, Sara was represented by attorney Marvin Mitchelson, who has estimated that the settlement agreed was worth about $36 million to Sara and included “half the royalties from the songs written during their marriage.” Michael Gray has written: “A condition of the settlement was that Sara would remain silent about her life with Dylan. His 1975 album “Blood on the Tracks” has been cited by many as Bob’s account of their disintegrating marriage. His songs “Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands,” “Sara”, and “Love Minus Zero/No Limit”, specifically state just how much Bob Dylan adored her. They had four children together, including recording artist Jakob Dylan, and Bob also adopted her daughter from a previous marriage.
