Our Take

Scottish singer-songwriter Gerry Rafferty takes listeners on a whimsical journey through the streets of his City To City, with a charming blend of folk rock and pop sensibilities. Rafferty's smooth vocals and clever lyricism shine on hits like "Baker Street" and "Right Down the Line," perfectly capturing the essence of urban life with a touch of wistful nostalgia. The album's seamless transitions and infectious melodies make it a timeless classic that will have you tapping your toes and humming along for days to come.

In contrast, Night Owl sees Rafferty embracing a darker, more introspective tone, delving into the depths of the human experience with haunting ballads like "Night Owl" and "Get it Right Next Time." The album's moody atmosphere and poignant storytelling create a sense of intimacy that draws listeners in, inviting them to reflect on their own late-night musings and existential ponderings. Rafferty's evocative songwriting and emotive vocals make Night Owl a captivating listen that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who dares to venture into the shadowy world he has crafted. Overall, these two albums showcase Gerry Rafferty's versatility as a musician, proving that he is not just a one-hit wonder, but a true master of his craft.
