	Gerry Rafferty Biography
		Gerry Rafferty was a popular music giant at the end of the 1970's, thanks to the song "Baker Street" and the album City To City.
		Gerry Rafferty was born in Paisley, Scotland in 1947, the son of a Scottish mother and an Irish father.
		Rafferty was in the group, then out, then in again as the line-up kept shifting-their first album was a success, the single "Stuck In The Middle With You" a huge hit, but nothing after that clicked commercially, and by 1975 the group was history.

		Scotland-born Gerry Rafferty is today best known for the enormous hit Baker Street”; from the 1977 United Artists album City To City, but the recordings on this album date from several years earlier.
		Rafferty’s vocal style also relies on double-tracking – recording exactly the same part twice – which helps the modern studio processing to integrate rather better here than might otherwise have been the case.
		Although Rafferty is unlikely to fade into oblivion, the new life brought to a consummate artist’s catalog like this will help to safeguard the material for the future.

	Gerry Rafferty, Days Gone Down: the Anthology 1970-1982
		Gerry Rafferty is probably best known to you as the guy whose biggest single had that fantastic saxophone solo ("Baker Street" in 1978) or as the guy who as part of Stealers Wheel provided Quentin Tarantino with memorable music for a scene in Reservoir Dogs.
		All of which is to say that Gerry Rafferty has been around the block, and it's about time he was as well served by a record label as Australia's Raven Records has done on the newly released Days Gone Down.
		And Rafferty proves himself to be a master of this kind of tunesmithing.

		This sort of thing doesn't happen when you stop at Tooting Broadway (a Kitchens Of Distinction song), Camden Town (Suggs), or Victoria (The Kinks)--which, in a roundabout way, is to say that in the late 1970s few were the songwriters who could pen a tune as evocative as the ex-Stealers Wheel frontman.
		Gerry was just a natural talent much like Joni Mitchell of her 70's achievments but both of these artists have gone on to make wonderful music on the fringes, cast off to the island of misfits.
		Gerry has such a soothing vocal dimension and great guitar lines and I have always loved the touches of of his part of the world he gives to his music.

	City to City - Gerry Rafferty - Review - A Celt in Baker Street
		Basically it was inspired by Gerry’s never-ending journeys to business offices in Baker Street trying to extricate himself from a dodgy recording contract, and musings about leaving the city to settle down in peace and quiet in a small town or the country.
		Slow and moody, with only Gerry’s stark piano and a touch of synthesizer emulating a pan pipe effect at times, it sounds like a soul-baring song of regret.
		Gerry Rafferty has often been compared to the likes of Bob Dylan, Paul Simon (as mentioned above) and Richard Thompson (who was to guest on his next album, a favour which was duly returned).

		It isn't that you don't know Rafferty is capable of it by this time.
		But that summer, I spent a lot of time hunkered down with Gerry Rafferty, the Sex Pistols and the Hib-tone single of "Rock Lobster/52 Girls".

		There is a lot going on in that track, sophisticated and excellent.
		Comparing it with the (obscenely bad) Foo Fighters cover shows both the weaknesses of the Fighters' arrangement as well as the talent, polish, intelligence, and diligence of Rafferty's producer.
		I personally don't like solo sax much and so it doesn't touch me as much as it seems to touch others, but even so I can see that the sax intro and other sax parts are electrifying.

	Rolling Stone : Gerry Rafferty: City To City : Music Reviews
		And when Stealers Wheel, the group he subsequently formed with Joe Egan, became an overnight success with the hit single, "Stuck in the Middle with You," only to lapse into morning-after obscurity, he probably said, "I told you so." On City to City, his first LP in three years, Rafferty sticks grimly to his guns.
		However, there is a slight but significant change for the better that makes City to City as eloquently consoling as the spirituals Rafferty echoes in "Whatever's Written in Your Heart." Indeed, there's a prayerful quality to the entire LP, a quality reminiscent of the dim dawn after a dark night of the soul.
		If City to City doesn't rise to the top of the charts, its commercial failure will be equally dismaying.
