The often in the shadow of local hero standing Irish Boy

Barely a year after the sensational success of - Local Hero - published with Mark Knopfler - CAL - his second musical soundtrack that occurs directly in the footsteps of his debut. The film - CAL - unfortunately I have never seen, so that I can now also make no connection between the film and the music. If the film is, however, as beautiful as the music, then it is beautiful.

Unlike the great predecessors - Local Hero - contains - CAL - mostly acoustic-and folklore-inspired pieces, and with - The Road, or The Long Road - again a melodic warm catchy melody that is similar to - Local Hero - like a red thread through the whole album draws. Unfortunately stand - CAL - always in the shadow of the great local hero, which is probably it was that in 1984 not only the sensational live album by Dire Straits - was published - Alchemy - but a few months later, the legendary disc - Brothers In Arms , after which the music world turned its main interests. So remains - CAL - a very peaceful and relaxing, but unfortunately often forgotten also instrumental jewel of this great musician.
