MARK KNOPFLER - "BOOM LIKE THAT"

Boom Like That (Mark Knopfler) - 5:40 rating: **** stars






Mark Knopfler's languid, instantly recognizable sound has always been a personal favorite.  

A couple of years ago I went and saw the Michael Keaton starring flick "The Founder".  The film as based on Roy Kroc's history with McDonalds.  As most things in life, the portrayal wasn't particularly sweet to the late Kroc.  Anyhow, the film was a blast.  


Taken from Knopfler's 2004 album "Shangri-La", "Boom Like That" was written for the film, but for anyone tight on time, managed to capture the entire plot line in under six minutes.  The sound is instantly recognizable as a Knopfler effort; his dry voice and classic guitar moves just screaming hit single (naturally the track did nothing).
