City to City (album)

City to city is the second solo album by Gerry Rafferty .

After the rupture of Stealers Wheel was quiet around Gerry Rafferty, the feud with Joe Egan was not one, two, three settled. Stealers Wheel did have some hit song had, for example, Stuck in the middle with you, but came a breakthrough but did not. As a bolt from the blue was followed in the spring of 1978 City to city. The title refers to the traveling back and forth between London and the surrounding area of Glasgow (home of Rafferty). Sales of the album went well after the single city to city and laterBaker Street were successful. Another single Right down the line mainly did well in the United States where it reached the number 1 position in the Easy Listening list . The album itself also landed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 ; in the United Kingdom took the sixth place. In the Netherlands held the album stand 40 weeks with a highest position 4.

The album was recorded in the Chipping Norton Studio . Led by Rafferty's regular producer Hugh Murphy an army of musicians over.
