Mark Knopfler All The Roadrunning Pop Music CD Review

All The Roadrunning is the latest Pop CD released by the richly talented Mark Knopfler who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Mark Knopfler fans, and Pop fans alike will be pleased with this one.

Mark Knopfler has been a super star in the Pop genre for quite some time now and All The Roadrunning is an excellent illustration as to why.

These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.

Listen to and I think you’ll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Mark Knopfler is clearly in top form.

While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - I Dug Up A Diamond, track 6 - Love And Happiness For You, and track 12 - If This Is Goodbye

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 10 - Beyond My Wildest Dreams. Outstanding!
