Down the Road Wherever is the upcoming ninth solo studio album by British singer-songwriter and guitarist Mark Knopfler. It is set to be released on 16 November 2018 by British Grove Records via Universal/Virgin EMI.[3] It will be available on a variety of formats, including on CD, 2×LP and in a box set; the box set will include the preceding two formats as well as a 12-inch EP including four extra tracks.[1] The deluxe CD inserts two bonus tracks before the final standard edition track, "Matchstick Man".[4]

The album was announced in a press release, which called it a collection of "unhurriedly elegant new Knopfler songs inspired by a wide range of subjects, including his early days in Deptford with Dire Straits, a stray football fan lost in a strange town, the compulsion of a musician hitching home through the snow, and a man out of time in his local greasy spoon."[3] The 14 songs were also called "slow and elegant".[2]

Musicians that play on the album include Jim Cox and Guy Fletcher on keyboards, Nigel Hitchcock on saxophone, Glenn Worf on bass guitar and Ian 'Ianto' Thomas on drums.[1] Imelda May will also provide backing vocals.[1]

The first single, "Good on You Son", will have a music video released for it later in September.[2]
