Title: Not His Best Or Worst
Review: I give "Shangri-La" four stars, because I believe there's no such thing as a bad collection of Knopfler music. However, I still believe that "Golden Heart" is the high mark by which I will always judge the rest of his work, and I doubt if he will ever hit that mark again. "Shangri-La" certainly displays the same songwriting genius that is evident on past Knopfler collections, but the lack of any real guitar solo work left me wanting a little bit more. As always, his lyrics almost force the listener to paint a vivid mental picture. This CD is no throwaway, for sure, but I'd like to hear Mark's guitar do a little more talking on the next collection.
