Song Of The Day

I have always been a huge admirer of Dire Straits and to a certain extent some of Mark Knopflers Film soundtrack & Solo work. As most people know, 'Brothers In Arms' was and still remains their most prolific work and most if not all the songs are just simply classics. However, outside of that, another one of their classic albums for me, is 'Love Over Gold', which has one of my all time favourite songs on it, 'Telegraph Road'.
This song is not only music, it's a masterpiece. It gets at you like a hammer, delivering a blow that will stun you.
It's 14 minutes long and well worth every second. The lyrics of this song are themselves on a higher level, and Knopfler's vocal performance is frightingly good. Telegraph Road simply soars like an eagle into one roaring solo after another, and then diving into an enthralling piano interlude, there is not one spot to put on this.
