Experience Making Movies, the acclaimed third studio album from British rock band Dire Straits. Originally released in 1980, the album marked an important evolution in the band's sound, combining Mark Knopfler's unmistakable guitar playing and storytelling with increasingly ambitious arrangements and cinematic songwriting.
Produced by Jimmy Iovine and Mark Knopfler, the album features Mark Knopfler on guitar and vocals, John Illsley on bass and Pick Withers on drums, with additional keyboards from Roy Bittan of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. Recorded during July and August 1980, Making Movies would become one of the defining releases of Dire Straits' early career.
Featuring some of the band's most enduring songs, including "Romeo and Juliet," "Tunnel of Love," "Skateaway," "Expresso Love" and "Solid Rock," the album blends sophisticated rock arrangements with Knopfler's distinctive guitar work and detailed lyrical storytelling.
