If you published the second plate after a successful debut, the expectation is always very high. And in the case of some of Dire Straits fans and critics were disappointed. Just why? This album is the best thing Mark Knopfler and Co. have been delivered. Starting with the dark Once Upon A Time IN THE WEST on the title track, towards the (admittedly unsuccessful) Single LADY WRITER and the culmination SINGLE HANDED SAILOR. A scary relaxing and relaxed piece of music, which can be placed each warmly. In my view, a strong buy recommendation - not only for hardcore fans of Dire Straits.
