Bit out of left field this one but does anyone else like Gerry Rafferty?

I bought his album "on a wing and a prayer" a few years back

The album was written after his wife left him and I have never heard anyone lay their soul bare like that before, it's beautiful. It's about a fiver on Amazon

Since them I bought everything he has ever done, look up whatever's written in your heart on YouTube

A true genius.

Love a bit of Rafferty. I grew up listening to strains of the city to city album through my bedroom floor when I was falling asleep. He was a great man.

That's a classic Tone

Matties rag and my favourite right down the line - that song should still be huge!

I love the ark especially on that album. But the whole album is good songwriting from start to finish :)
