ex Humblebum/Stealers' Wheel guy Rafferty's debut solo set....
another of my xmas gift card purchases(again,thanks for Jerome's recommendation on this one!)
if you know the "baker street" and "right down the line" songs then you know this album...
lots of great melodies,sax and laid-back grooves happening here.
again, ive heard this one a few times since i purchased it and love it immensely..
great stuff from somewhat of a tortured soul(especially in his latter years) on this planet
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
