The album Dire Straits is the self-titled debut studio album by the British rock band Dire Straits, released in June 1978. It is known for its blues rock and pub rock sound, featuring the hit single "Sultans of Swing". The album was a major commercial and critical success, reaching top five positions on album charts in the US and UK, and topping charts in countries like Australia, Germany, and France. Critics praised the album for its accomplished sound and Mark Knopfler's distinct guitar style and storytelling lyrics, which contrasted with the prevailing punk and new wave music scene of the time.
