Scottish singer, songwriter, and guitarist
Gerry Rafferty was an often reclusive and iconoclastic artist throughout his career, which began with
the Humblebums in the late '60s, then went international with
Stealers Wheel in the mid-'70s and the huge hit "Stuck in the Middle with You," only to top out with his solo success at the end of the decade with the masterful "Baker Street" in 1978. This 54-track, three-disc set collects the key and essential sides from
Rafferty's time with
the Humblebums and
Stealers Wheel and from his subsequent solo years to make a fine and in-depth portrait of this unique, gifted, and often overlooked artist. ~ Steve Leggett
