Amazon.com It took Quentin Tarantino's using "Stuck in the Middle with You," the 1973 hit of Gerry Rafferty's former band Stealers Wheel, in Reservoir Dogs to make Rafferty hip again. But City to City, his 1978 solo breakthrough, has long been worth rediscovering--and not just because it contains "Baker Street," one of the biggest and best singles of the 1970s. Rafferty brilliantly modernizes his Scottish folk-rock background on such pop treasures as the churning title track, the minor follow-up hit "Right Down the Line," the bouncing ditty "Mattie's Rag," the enchantingly churchy "Whatever's Written in Your Heart," and others. It's as rewardingly refreshing a change of pace now as it was when it emerged in the midst of the disco era. --Peter Blackstock Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA response to all the rave reviews Brian | College Station, TX USA | 03/08/2010 (3 out of 5 stars) "Let me start by saying that "Baker Street" and "Right Down the Line" are brilliant, extraordinary songs. But the rest of the City to City album is decidedly ordinary. Don't get me wrong, a few of the album tracks, like "Stealin' Time" and "Home and Dry", are decent. But there is a lot of filler, and this is not even close to a five star album." Still stands the test of time Joker | Michigan | 01/17/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Gerry Rafferty's classic 1978 album City To City still stands the test of time more than three decades after its release. Certain songs bring me back in time and remind me of what I was doing at the time the song came out. I spent most of the summer of 1978 with my left arm in a cast. I remember that summer like it was yesterday and Baker Street was sitting in the #1 spot for several weeks. I heard Baker Street on the radio in 2007 and immediately ordered City To City. I had never heard the entire album before - just Baker Street and Right Down The Line. This album has a lot more to offer than these two big hits. All the songs are good. Once in a while I'll mellow out and listen to this. This album is underrated, in my opinion. I can't help but think of artists like Gerry Rafferty when I think of the '70s. Carole King, Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Crystal Gayle, Debbie Boone, James Taylor, David Soul, Wings, Gerry Rafferty.......did I remind you of the '70s? This album will be a great addition to your collection. " Sound quality so so blondeone | ca | 06/10/2010 (3 out of 5 stars) "Great classic album with great hits! That is the positive side, the negative portion is that I had to send back the 1st LP because of poor quality of the vinyl and very high levels of distortion. The replacement was better but still was not high quality sound, especially for 180 gram new vinyl!"
