Page "Infidels" Paragraph 7

Knopfler suggested Alan Clark for keyboards as well as engineer Neil Dorfsman, both of whom were hired.

According to Knopfler, it was Dylan's idea to recruit Robbie Shakespeare and Sly Dunbar as the rhythm section.

Best known as Sly & Robbie, Shakespeare and Dunbar were famed reggae producers who were major recording artists in their own right.

An unlikely but inspired mix, the chemistry between these players is largely responsible for the album's sweet, pop-bent while maintaining a tough, rocking core.
