Guitar Solos and Microwave Ovens: A Dive into Brothers in Arms (1985)

This week, we’re throwing it back to 1985 and diving into Brothers in Arms—the album that made Dire Straits a household name (and gave us one of the most iconic guitar riffs ever). We’re talking Money for Nothing, Walk of Life, moody war ballads, and that smooth, clean production that still hits decades later.

We’ll chat about how this album ended up being one of the first big digital recordings  and why Mark Knopfler’s guitar playing feels like butter on a hot biscuit. 

 Grab your headphones and let’s hang out with Brothers in Arms—it’s gonna be a good one.
