Mark Knopfler Screenplaying Rock Music CD Review
Screenplaying is the latest release from Rock Artist Mark Knopfler, and I can only think of one word to describe this CD… AWESOME!
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 contributors on the project including Tony Levin and Guy Fletcher plus a few other notables as well.
Overall Screenplaying is excellent from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Rock fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.
While this entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 3 - Father And Son, track 12 - Guide My Sword, and track 18 - Going Home / Theme Of The Local Hero.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Irish Boy. Great track!
