City to City
City to City is a 1978 album and the second studio album by Scottish singer-songwriter Gerry Rafferty. It was Rafferty's first solo release in six years and first release of any kind since 1975 due to his tenure in the band Stealers Wheel and subsequent legal proceedings which prevented Rafferty from releasing any new solo recordings for the next three years. The album was strongly received, peaking at No. 1 in the US and going Platinum, as well as reaching No. 6 in the UK and achieving Gold status. "Baker Street", "Right Down the Line" and "Home and Dry" were successfully released as singles. -Wikipedia

each song radiates the confidence of a master craftsman cruising in his prime, constructing brilliant pop confections with top-flight support while awaiting the crunch of civilization

Something Else Reviews
2018 - Rafferty’s 1978 masterpiece City to City, still sounds like a very adult look back at weary-eyed adenoidal wonder

Robert Christgau
A miraculously homogeneous album--except for the breakthrough sax refrain on "Baker Street," neither voice nor instrument ruffles the flow of hard-won axioms and sensible hooks.

Solid Grooves
He left behind a wake of great music, and nowhere is that music heard better than on City to City, a stone-cold classic of ‘70s adult rock.
