Golden Heart

Dire Straits leader/film score composer Mark Knopfler releases his debut solo LP, which displays Celtic, folk and country influences in a set of songs with an expansive, rootsy feel. Taking in everything from ferocious rockers to acoustic intimacy, Knopfler's son­gwriting has rarely been as expressive, his guitar playing so nuanced; the sonic quality of the album is, of course, impeccable. Guests include Vince Gill, Muscle Shoals pianist Barry Beckett and noted Irish musicians. First single: “Darling Pretty.” Track Listing: Disc 1: Darling Pretty Imelda Golden Heart No Can Do Vic & Ray Don't You Get It A Night in Summer Long Ago Cannibals I'm the Fool Je Suis Desole Rudiger Nobody's Got the Gun Done with Bonaparte Are We in Trouble Now
