Very good, very soft, but ...

Ragpicker's Dream is a very successful disc. The songs are very harmonious and very well composed. The songs are all music at a very high level. It's not a song on the disc, which reminds of musical unimaginative, and not a song here, in which you have felt this, that a virtuoso has just written him to show how he can spin around with his guitar. But on the contrary. The songs have no extreme. There is no song on this CD is not good, but also not a song of an immediate or delayed skin absolutely blown away. This CD can not hear itself, because for example waiting for a song like "Sultans of Swing" or from his solo works such as "Speedway to Nazareth". Songs in which you are immediately inclined to sing along or "mitzuswingen". It's just a perfect CD that you can listen to complete if you want to relax. If you sit down in the evening after work on his favorite sofa, a bottle of beer in his hand and has the soul can dangle a little. Because each song is about the same level and in the same style, you do not notice at all, if one is over. I hear this CD often and find it class.
Only, said as a conclusion, not on any occasion. One has to be in the mood for it. To relax and chill out, on long car journeys where one is not necessarily the time sitting in the neck, it is highly recommended.
However, if you want to hear something catchier songs, then I recommend the slightly alltagstauglichere "Sailing to Philadelphia" by Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits albums, of course.
