Going Home

By the end of everyday, birds head to their nests whether in groups or alone, like this one here, but they all go home.

Nothing’s like going home…Nothing.

 

I would like to invite guitar lovers in particular, and music lovers in general, to listen to Mark Knopfler’s legendary piece ‘Going Home’ in a new special recording:

About the attached masterpiece:

Mark Knopfler's new special recording of his anthemic 'Going Home (Theme From Local Hero), produced by his longtime collaborator Guy Fletcher (who has edited the contributions into a 9 minute piece), features an unprecedented line-up of some of the greatest guitarists in history. 'Legendary' does not begin to cover it - David Gilmour to Ronnie Wood, Slash to Eric Clapton, Sting to Joan Armatrading, Bruce Springsteen to Pete Townshend, Nile Rodgers to Joan Jett, Brian May to Tony lommi, Joe Walsh, Sam Fender and many more jaw dropping names.

And, in a great honour, the track opens with Jeff Beck's final recording.

Roger Daltrey, Teenage Cancer Trust's Honorary Patron and co-founder of Teen Cancer America (with Pete Townshend), added harmonica, and Beatles icon Ringo Starr is on drums along with his son Zak Starkey, their two drum tracks switching from one to the other, revealing an unmistakable family style. Sting completes an extraordinary rhythm section on bass.

With artwork designed by Sir Peter Blake (The Beatles, The Who, Band Aid, Paul Weller etc), this release is a landmark in rock music history.
