The Dire fills work for this - though at times I find them distracting because they are so distinctively Knopfler - but...they work here as well as anything I've heard them used in. I also thought a different drum choice would suit the lyric - I would guess that is the Nashville Even8 - always a good choice - but I thought a "looser" drum track might be better - maybe one of the RockBlues drums. Just opinions, of course. This is well done, as is. Good mix.

Enjoyed it. Looking forward to the home stretch - I have enjoyed your journey so far...

FJ,
As always, your comments are appreciated. I will revisit the drum kit. As for the Knopfler RT, I used it reluctantly because it has his signature sound. I couldn't find something a bit more subtle.
