BROTHERS IN ARMS found Dire Straits at the peak of a long climb in the music industry. After an auspicious debut with DIRE STRAITS, they stuggled on through personnel changes and shifting musical tastes. Knopfler’s work with Bob Dylan (SLOW TRAIN COMING and some touring) and the band’s appearance at Live Aid helped to keep their recognition high. This album proved to be the payoff, as “Money For Nothing” hit number 1, and the second single, “Walk Of Life” also made the top-10.
