Baker Street has become so familiar that we are in danger of forgetting just what a good song it is. Its on the album City to City in all its glorious 6 minutes 8 seconds, replete with the memorable saxophone break, evocative and allusive lyrics, the sophisticated arrangements and painstaking production, and the strangely enduring nasally vocals of Gerry Rafferty. (Listening to this album, I was struck as to just how much Gerry sounds like Ronnie Lane.) Baker Street is the track to buy the album for, but there are other first class songs, as well: City To City, with its wonderful use of harmonica; the gospel influenced Whatever's Written In Your Heart; and the plainly stated but romantically felt Right Down The Line. There are quite a few fillers. Maybe half the songs struggle to make any impact; but there is enough here to make this album a worthwhile purchase. Gerry Rafferty may not be in the first rank of songwriters, but he is still an artist whose work, at its best, is worth getting to know. The cover painting by John Patrick Byrne is also excellent.
