Apart from his very well known work with Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler has contributed to many albums of various artists. The series of "Session Work" is a compilation of these songs.
The guitar work for 17 Hills was recorded by Mark in his own British Grove Studios and overdubt in early 2009. The song was first only available on the downloadable EP Amerikana and later on the CD A map of the floating city (2011). Also a 2CD version of that album was released which included also the instrumental version of 17 Hills with Mark Knopfler on guitar. Recorded back in 1979 as part of the Slow train coming sessions, Mark plays on Trouble in mind, a track on Bob Dylan's 2011 Pure Dylan album. In 1979 it was only availabe as the B-side of the 7 inch vinyl single Precious angel. The 1979 single released version is, however, an edit (a shortened) version of this song. On Pure Dylan the full length version is released. It has an extra verse and is also remastered. Mark Knopfler also contributed to Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International. He plays and sings on the song Restless farewell. In 2012, Mark has produced an album for Bap Kennedy. Apart from the production work, Mark also plays guitar on various tracks and provides backing vocals on Celtic sea. The last track, Into the arms of love, is a bonus track on the album. Mark Knopfler plays on Bo Walton's debut album Waiting on a dream. Mark is featured on the track Miss you bad. Also a seperate 2 track single was released, Mark plays guitar on Hey mister night, a track that can not be found on the album. Mark 's contributions were recorded way back on the 5th of October 1993 and the material has never been released before.
