Review of the Mark Knopfler CD Golden Heart
Golden Heart is the latest Rock CD put out by the highly talented Mark Knopfler who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Mark Knopfler fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one.
Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Rock music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Knopfler on several of the tracks. Artists like Paul Franklin and Steve Nathan just to name a couple.
Listen to Golden Heart and I believe you’ll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Mark Knopfler is clearly in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this album.
While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 1 - Darling Pretty, track 7 - A Night In Summer Long Ago, and track 14 - Are We In Trouble Now.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 12 - Nobody's Got The Gun. Outstanding!
