Dire Straits' arresting self-titled debut, 'Dire Straits', arrived in the midst of punk's reign but couldn't have been further removed from the era's slash-and-burn style. Recorded in West London in February 1978, the band's tasteful, jazz-inflected set embraces folk, blues, and pub rock while also tracing a direct line back to the beat-oriented sound of early rock n' roll. Country and roots accents further distinguish the Dire Straits stripped-down music from any 1970s peers, as does the transparent production, which has remained revered among audiophiles the world over.
