Thanks for having me Mary! I never thought I’d do another video of this, but I’m so glad I did.

I know you two have received thousands of comments on this video.  This comment will probably be lost in the crowd.  I am 60. I heard this song when it came out.  Before you were born probably.  Since the I have been a Mark Knopfler fan.  I have to say, you blew this one away.  Mark would be proud.  Thank you both.  You’ve given me much joy from this cover.  God Bless you both, you are in my prayers.

I am leaving a comment here as a reminder so that whenever someone likes this comment, I will receive a notification and come here to listen to this masterpiece again.

I'm 70 and have been playing guitar since 1964, professionally since 1969. Trust me when I say.. this is good stuff 💘

The gold cat's timing was a little dodgy, but the humans sound fantastic together!

You both were GREAT !    Being 73 years old..... I have been playing guitar for 60 years. I've played that tune a TON of times......but NEVER came close to that sound.  Yours was a great performance, production, feeling and groove. Both of you folks are big time standouts. Best of luck to you all down the road.

There are two ways to do an excellent cover: (#1)to nail the original note-for-note and deliver a perfectly faithful homage, or (#2)to transform the original sound so completely that you make the song your own. One of the most amazing things about this cover is that it gives me both of these at once. Mary's vocals are so beautiful, so melodic, so rich in their tone & phrasing (and beautifully captured by that condenser mic too!) that it absolutely transforms the song. Josh, in contrast, leans so perfectly into the original track, channeling Mark Knopfler directly, and perfectly duplicating not just the famous "twiddly bit" at the end, but catching some of the best filler licks all the way through the tone and wringing Mark's early Strat sound out of a Telecaster with real skill.

This cover absolutely satisfied me in both ways at once. It manages somehow to be both completely faithful to the Dire Straits album, and completely original at the same time. Most performers struggle to achieve one or the other of these, and you've nailed both.

Mark Knopfler always sounds like he's singing a duet along when he plays this.  After hearing this it's obviously a duet.  Well done.

He's clearly an exceptional guitarist,  but I find his voice the most remarkable.
She is a dream come true.

This is the first cover that I have heard of Sultan's that displays such originality while still honoring the original.Very real. Very brave, Now this will become a classic!

I get a shiver when Mary's voice enters low over the single coils

I'm 70, I love this song. Josh Turner has absolutely nailed the guitar solo. Two guitars, two voices awesome sound. Mary's voice is so pure and precise - amazing.

This is the best video I’ve seen thus far on YouTube. Mary’s low, sustained voice adds such a nuanced touch to the song while josh’s is reminiscent of Mark. Truly a great performance.

Mary has one of my all-time favorite low registers on a woman singer. So much tone and feeling. Amazing!

I'm not a fan of fade outs but when you do it physically with your fingers and expressions, it is hysterical. Good job!

Mary and Josh were BORN to  do THIS together.

Wow! Mary's video "YouTube Musicians Can't Play Live", in which she talks about how much work it took to get this one near-perfect take, helped me really appreciate this video and every little detail of the performance. Seeing Mary's fingers shaking a couple of times, hearing Josh's breathing between guitar licks as though he was singing them, seeing their nervous glances at each other as they approached the end, etc. It was all so natural and human, yet they both performed relatively flawlessly. The result was SO MUCH BETTER than an assembled edited video made up of perfect segments from multiple takes, which is what we're used to seeing in YouTube performances.

I've never known more than 25% of the words before

It is a rare cover of "Sultans of Swing" that captures not just the music, but the artful mood............good show........

Los Ingleses llevan el Rock en la sangre. Muchas  Gracias me encantó
