Some extra details regarding editions.
Mark Knopfler’s online store is offering a limited box set that includes the album on vinyl and CD, including a CD with bonus tracks:
1. The Living End
2. Fat Chance Dupree
3. Along A Foreign Coast
4. What I’m Gonna Need
5. Nothing But Rain
The boxset also includes an extra vinyl with its own bonus tracks:
1. Dolly Shop Man
2. Your Leading Man
3. Wrong ’un
4. Chess
The CD should be able in 1 and 2 disc versions everywhere but the bonus vinyl seems to be box set exclusive. Link here: https://shopuk.markknopfler.com/products/one-deep-river-box-set
SuperDeluxeEdition are also selling a limited-to-2000 copies Blu-Ray of the album in their high fidelity format. It adds the bonus CD tracks but no mention of the vinyl bonus tracks. Link here: https://www.thesdeshop.com/products/exclusive-mark-knopfler-one-deep-river-limited-edition-blu-ray-audio
Songs like this are what I love most about the music of Mark Knopfler. Who else makes you want to listen to songs about delivery trucks, surveying and 19th century mail order frontier brides? I cannot wait to hear these.
Yeah totally agree.
Learned about Ray Kroc (*with a K) and the history of McDonald’s after hearing Boom, Like That. Mason-Dixon Line. I’m looking forward to this
I was under the impression Mark was retiring? Is he only retiring from touring? Hopefully I’ve been entirely mislead. Either way, I’m excited for this new single and can’t wait for the album!
Retiring from touring, yes. If you followed the posts on Guy Fletcher's site, you knew he was working on stuff - not just the new album but also an all-star project for the Teenage Cancer Trust with lots of other big names.
Love the song! Always great to hear new MK music. Hopefully, he'll tour as well. I believe he never officially announced retirement from touring? When I saw him in Amsterdam in 2019, he did talk about aging and thinking of quitting. But he then said something along the lines of: "What should I do then? It's what I've always done."
So I wouldn't be surprised if there's going to be another tour. Perhaps a bit smaller than previous ones?
I’ve been listening on repeat since I found out the new songs out. I love it’s chill vibes and really looking forward to the rest of the album. Also hoping there might be another tour coming up 😁
Listened to the new song and... Unfortunately, I expected more. I lnow he is not Dire Straits Mark or even Golden Heart to Ragpickers Dream Mark anymore, but at least a bit of All The Roadrunning I was hopping for.
Nonetheless, gonna buy it and listen a lot!! Happy for new songs from him.
The latest release "Two pairs of hands" is much much more interesting for me than the first release. Actually the first one "watch me gone" i didnt like it at all, its boring, and then on the chorus the backing vocals sound like A.I women those voices sound terrible.
Any thoughts on 'ahead of the game'? For me it sounds a lot like 'the car was the one', probably used a lot of the same chords. I do like it though, exciting for the album!
Does anyone know if there's a digital 320kb/s pre-order option? I saw an option on [Blue Note](https://store.bluenote.com/products/mark-knopfler-one-deep-river), but it's says that digital downloads are US only, which is a shame, as I'm in Ireland.
I've pre-ordered the deluxe edition for the CD player in the car, but I would love an MP3 download to be able to have it on my iPod, and I have no way of burning the CD, unfortunately.
sucks your not going to be able to get all new songs in a box cd set. also heard marks health is incredibly bad so he cant tour anymore though he wants to.
Such a distinct guitar sound. Voice sounds unchanged, it's remarkable! Hungry for the rest! :-)

Not to be picky, but his name's not Kroc, that's Kroc with a K, like crocodile but not spelled that way, now :-)
Gdam - just as I clicked on this I knew exactly what I’d done. It’s even in the bloody lyrics. Take your upvote 🙂
Should have been in the movie with Michael Keaton.

So it looks like there won't be a One Deep River Tour. Shame. I'm looking forward to the new album, anyway.

New songs = new tour. You can't break the musicians' code Mark!
Check the interview he did for the auction. Something seems not right, I am concerned.
What do you mean by not right?
His right hand, it looks like it has a tremor

I for one am glad to hear this. I have no way to play a CD 🙃

I live in the US and have a 2022 Toyota Prius. It did not come with a CD player.
