SHIP OF DREAMS
by
DAVID KNOPFLER
Occasionally, just occasionally, reviewing the works of other people makes
the heart lurch with joy. Listening to David Knopfler's latest
album, Ship Of Dreams, is one such occasion.
From the opening track of 4U to the closing Anna
Tonight there is nothing in between that cannot fail to enrapture
anybody wise enough to put this into their CD player.
Written, performed and produced
by the man who inspired Dire Straits to greatness, David Knopfler
is still without doubt a fantastically talented exponent of his art
who for far too long has gone unrecognised by the mainstream.
With Ship Of Dreams
containing such heart-wrenching ballads as Tears Fall, such thought
provoking lyrics as Going Down With The Waves and such
melodious beauty as Symmetry Of Stars, this is an album
of such sublime craftsmanship, it deserves to rank alongside anything
else available today.
Listen to Mending My Nets
and tell yourself the truth; here is pure genius at work.
Occasionally, just occasionally,
music lovers are a truly blessed group of people and David Knopfler's
Ship Of Dreams proves it.
