About this album
Missing... Presumed Having A Good Time is a relaxed but finely judged roots set from The Notting Hillbillies. Released in 1990, the album united Mark Knopfler with a loose country and folk side project that also featured Steve Phillips, Brendan Croker and Guy Fletcher, turning familiar Americana forms into something unforced and warmly characterful. Drawing on country rock, folk rock and soft rock, the record favours acoustic textures, close harmonies and easygoing musicianship rather than studio gloss. Its appeal lies in the band’s instinct for understated songcraft and their ability to honour old American traditions without sounding like imitators, making it one of the more charming offshoots of Knopfler’s career.
