Footsteps 2 by Chris de Burgh

Footsteps 2 is singer/songwriter Chris de Burgh's nineteenth original album. It was released in Germany, Switzerland and Austria on 14 October 2011, and in the UK and Ireland on 17 October 2011. Footsteps 2 follows the concept that captured the public’s imagination with Footsteps, that of de Burgh creating cover versions of the songs which have inspired him over the years, along with a few new compositions. As de Burgh said upon releasing Footsteps, “Listening to the great songwriters was the inspiration for me to try and become a good songwriter myself,” he says. “I’m talking about the likes of Lennon & McCartney and Bob Dylan; people as good as that just don’t seem to exist any more. I learned my trade, my craft, almost at the feet of the Great Masters. And that is my musical journey. Those songs are my footsteps.”This album peaked at number 10 in the German album chart, and reached number 38 in the UK Albums Chart.
