Our Take

Ah, Gerry Rafferty, a true legend in the realm of smooth, laid-back tunes. His latest album, "Essential," is a compilation of his greatest hits that will have you grooving in no time.

From the opening track "Baker Street," with its iconic saxophone riff that just screams 70s cool, to the soothing ballad "Right Down the Line," Rafferty's songwriting skills are on full display. Each song on this album is like a warm hug from your favourite uncle - comforting, familiar, and oh so enjoyable.

Rafferty's voice is like a warm blanket on a cold winter's night - it wraps you up and makes you feel all cosy inside. Whether he's singing about heartbreak, longing, or just the simple pleasures of life, his sincerity shines through in every note.

Tracks like "City to City" and "Night Owl" showcase Rafferty's ability to craft catchy melodies that will have you humming along for days. And let's not forget the classic "Stuck in the Middle with You," a song that never fails to get the party started.

In conclusion, Gerry Rafferty's "Essential" is a must-have for any fan of good music. So grab a glass of whisky, put on your comfiest jumper, and let Gerry serenade you into a state of pure relaxation. You won't regret it.
