Golden heart, golden guitar

Review Score: (8/10)
I have just received this CD and gave it a few listens. An overall good opus from Mr Knopfler. In my book, he is one of the great guitarists in the world, no doubt about it. He has a unique style and great talent for melody ("Cannibals", "Golden Heart"). "Brothers In Arms" was a masterpiece. Shades of it appear on this CD. His melodies grow up on you with time and stay forever. The lyrics are not always strong, nor the voice. But he is true to himself. And this CD adds another chapter and a few great tunes to his already impressive catalog. Must I add that I love that steel guitar sound ! Keep up the good work, Mark. And pay your fans a treat: a Dire Straits all-studio box set with book and personal notes. Add some of your solo work also, if possible. My wish for the New Year ! Paul LeBoutillier
