Description:
One of my favourite songs of all time: Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms. Sublime guitar work, great keyboards, and a voice that would never get on American Idol...but could never be bettered on this song. And did I mention that guitar?

It's a National 0 Resonator Guitar
They were made specifically for southern Blues artists in the Mississippi Delta and North Louisiana region for playing at "juke joints" and dives in order to be heard over the din of noise from drunk patrons. Plus, being metal it could stop a bullet much better than wood. We have to thank the Hawaiians for the steel guitar.
Here is a two part story from Al Handa, Editor and Publisher of the Delta Snake Daily Blues
