Missing... Presumed Having a Good Time is the debut - and only - album by British project Notting Hillbillies, released in 1990 via Vertigo. Formed by Mark Knopfler and a circle of longtime collaborators, the group leans into a relaxed blend of country blues, folk, and Americana, far removed from the stadium sound of Dire Straits. The record feels like a back-porch session steeped in tradition, storytelling, and understated musicianship.
The album features Knopfler’s signature guitar work wrapped in warm harmonies and rustic instrumentation, with tracks like “Your Own Sweet Way,” “Feel Like Going Home,” and “Railroad Worksong” delivering an effortless, rootsy charm. It's a quietly powerful collection - evocative, unhurried, and richly textured.
