One of the most meaningful albums I have ever heard. Money for Nothing was the hit that started my awareness of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler. I bought the cassette just for that song but when I heard the other tracks I was blown away. Ride Across the River and The Man's too Strong is a performance showing the wide range that can be brought to the table by Knopfler. The opening track So Far Away followed by the signature sound of Money For Nothing and then Walk of Life is a joy to listen to. Your Latest Trick comes thru like a song out of a smoky dive bar with the way it flows into my ears. Then comes the big payoff of the title track. It deserves a listen with just headphones and the darkness of night. You can feel the meaning of the message and why this is a favorite of the service members across the globe. Overall a tour-de-force of music from a real musician making real music.
