Our Take

Album: GERRY RAFFERTY City To City

GERRY RAFFERTY's City To City is a sonic journey through the bustling streets and neon-lit alleys of 1970s urban life. With a voice as smooth as a freshly-poured pint of Guinness, Rafferty effortlessly weaves tales of heartbreak, longing, and late-night revelry over a backdrop of funky bass lines and soulful saxophone solos.

The album kicks off with the iconic sax riff of "Baker Street," a timeless classic that has been covered by everyone from Foo Fighters to The Simpsons. Rafferty's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man lost in the hustle and bustle of city life, searching for meaning in a sea of concrete and steel.

Tracks like "Right Down the Line" and "The Ark" showcase Rafferty's songwriting chops, with catchy hooks and infectious melodies that will have you humming along for days. And let's not forget the epic album closer, "City to City," a sprawling, 7-minute opus that takes listeners on a psychedelic journey through the streets of Rafferty's imagination.

City To City may be over 40 years old, but its timeless appeal remains as strong as ever. So grab a pint, put on your headphones, and let GERRY RAFFERTY's City To City transport you to a world where the streets are paved with gold and the music never stops. Cheers!
