#1454 Gerry Rafferty - City to City

Pretty ripping sax riff on Baker St, it's true it's true it's true.

Otherwise this is bog standard pop rock, some grey soup of Paul Simon, Paul McCartney, Steely Dan and the Boss.

Actually the most interesting thing it does is be totally unsurprising for such long stretches: it's mostly made up of bare bones songs that go on for a solid 50% longer than you'd expect, growing strangely hypnotic at the 4 minute, 5 minute, 6 minute marks, not really changing in any way you can perceive, but not //quite// getting boring either. A strange little pop bauble that shifts lovecraftian when you aren't looking at it 3/5
