Down The Road Wherever består af 14 forskellige tracks, der med Knopflers poestiske tilgang også indeholder elementer fra Deptford og Dire Straits.

Om albummet siger Knopfler selv:

“Down The Road Wherever" is a line from "One Song At A Time" I remember my pal Chet Atkins once saying that he picked his way out of poverty one song at a time, and it just stuck in my mind. You get to an age where you’ve written quite a few songs. But "Down The Road Wherever" seems to be appropriate for me just because it's what I've always done. I've always tried to make a record and also to keep my own geography happening in the songs.”

På den kommende udgivelse ’Down The Road Wherever’ figurer der da også én del af Mark’s trofaste samarbejdspartnere – albummet er blandt andet produceret af Guy Fletcher. Dog vil der også figurerer lidt nye ansigter på albummet, der udelukkende er skrevet af Mark Knopfler selv (med undtagelse af en enkelt sang, hvor krediteringen deles med Rodgers & Hammerstein).

Albummet er blevet indspillet i British Grove Studio i London. Bandet består udover Mark af Jim Cox & Guy Fletcher på keyboard, Nigel Hitchcock på saxofon, Tom Walsh på trompet, John McCusker på violin og Mark McGoldrick på fløjte, Glenn Worf på bas, Ian (Lanto) Thomas på trommer og Danny Cummings på percussion. Richard Bennett og Robbie McIntosh spiller også guitar på albummet, mens Trevor Mires er på tamburin. Imelda May, Kris Drever, Lance Ellington, Beverley Skeete og Katie Kissoon er kor.
