Yes, he sure can play. I enjoyed all the Dire Straits albums and have also followed his solo career. I saw him live at the Santa Barbara Bowl in September 2015 when toured in support of his album Tracker. Side note: What a fabulous venue. An outdoor amphitheater nestled in the hills with views of SB and the ocean.
Here's a song off his solo album The Ragpicker's Dream - "Why Aye Man."
