Local Hero marks Mark Knopfler's acclaimed debut as a solo composer, showcasing his signature guitar work outside of Dire Straits. Originally written as the soundtrack for Bill Forsyth's beloved film, the album weaves elements of jazz, folk, and rock into a beautifully evocative listening experience that stands on its own apart from the movie.
This 2022 edition on Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab delivers Knopfler’s memorable themes in stunning detail, mastered with expert care to capture the warmth and atmosphere of the original music. Whether you're drawn in by the lyrical melodies of "Wild Theme" or the evocative storytelling behind the compositions, Local Hero offers a richly textured journey for fans of film scores and Knopfler’s trademark artistry alike.
