New Album.

Mark Knopfler's next album, Privateering, will be released in September, but not in the U.S.

Mark Knopfler's next album, Privateering, will be released in September, but not in the U.S. A source close to him tells us he's in the middle of a contractual issue, and Warner Brothers, Knopfler's longtime U.S. label, doesn't have the album on its schedule. Privateering, Knopfler's seventh studio album, not counting movie soundtracks, is a two-CD set containing 20 tracks.

Knopfler will tour the U.S. this fall with Bob Dylan and is planning his own headlining tour next year.
