City to City was a milestone album. To me, anyway.

after contributing a vocal to the soundtrack of the film Local Hero (1983)

Didn't know this - BTW the movie is well worth seeing.

Him and Knopfler on guitar would have been an awesome combination.

There isn’t one bad song on City to City.
It is indeed a classic and every note played by him.

His music had a racing pulse like a train taking you
Down the Line. Smooth yet frenetic.

Wish he could have brought himself to play with Clapton and others.

He’s got all the music now and peace.
thanks for leaving your unique sound behind, Gerry.

Best. Movie. Ever. Watch it several times to catch the humor (and decipher the accents).
