Down the Road Wherever is the ninth solo studio album by British singer-songwriter and guitarist Mark Knopfler, released on 16 November 2018 by British Grove Records via Virgin EMI in the UK and via Blue Note in the US. The album was announced in a press release, which called it a collection of "unhurriedly elegant new Knopfler songs inspired by a wide range of subjects, including his early days in Deptford with Dire Straits, a stray football fan lost in a strange town, the compulsion of a musician.

Down the road wherever' is a line from 'One Song at a Time,'" Knopfler noted. I remember my pal Chet Atkins once saying that he picked his way out of poverty one song at a time, and it just stuck in my mind. You get to an age where you’ve written quite a few songs. But Down the Road Wherever seems to be appropriate for me just because it's what I've always done. Knopfler said that the "business of making a record, from having written a song and then bringing it to musicians, it can be quite a bendy route  .

Down The Road Wherever’ is a line from ‘One Song At A Time,’ says Knopfler, referring to the album title and one of its tracks. But Down The Road Wherever seems to be appropriate for me, just because it’s what I’ve always done. I’ve always tried to make a record and also to keep my own geography happening in the songs

The album features 14 new songs inspired by a wide range of subjects, reads a press release, including Knopfler’s early days in Deptford with Dire Straits, a stray soccer fan lost in a strange town, the compulsion of a musician hitching home through the snow and a man out of time in his local greasy spoon diner. He’s worked with most of these musicians in the past and he gave them the freedom to express themselves on the new songs however they saw fit. I think the business of making a record, from having written a song and then bringing it to musicians, it can be quite a bendy route, Knopfler said in a statement. It’s not just motorways all the wa. nd you can end up in the occasional cul-de-sac, then you have to do a 16-point turn to try to get your truck back out on the main road as unobtrusively as you can. That’s part of the fun of it.

It’s titled Down The Road Wherever and it’ll launch on November 16 through his own British Grove label via Universal/Virgin EMI on CD, deluxe CD, 2LP and a box set. The box set will come with the new album on both vinyl and deluxe CD, along with a 12-inch EP containing four bonus tracks, a 12-inch print of the cover art and a 12-inch guitar tablature of a selected song.
