The album was a worldwide top 10 hit across the globe, including #1 in the US, going platinum in the process. For this double vinyl release, City to City has been newly remastered at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, a method used to improve audio quality.

His daughter, Martha Rafferty, sought to complete a project started by father, culminating in Rest In Blue. Many of the demos left by Gerry included multiple layers of synths, which Martha stripped back to showcase his immense vocal ability. The result is an album brimming with raw emotion, and a quintessential collection of blues, rock, and folk. Some of the demos date back as far as 1970, many of which Rafferty had singled out as potential tracks for his new album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"\"\u003eWith elements of the songs written at varying parts of Gerry’s career, the album tackles a variety of topics including, climate change on Sign Of The Times, questioning the legality of war in Lost Highway, and addressing problems with his alcoholism in the emotively honest Still In Denial. As well as many brand-new originals penned by Gerry, the album features popular traditional folk songs such as Wild Mountain Thyme and Dirty Old Town. It also features a cover of Richard \u0026amp; Linda Thompson’s It’s Just The Motion, an artist Gerry was a big admirer of. The album finishes with a re-record of the Stealers Wheel classic Stuck In The Middle With You recorded back in the 90s, that gives the track a fresh, country-inspired interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"\"\u003eRest In Blue called upon many musicians that had worked closely with Gerry throughout his career. One of which is guitarist Hugh Burns, who played on a vast amount of Rafferty’s catalogue, including the powerful guitar solo on Baker Street. Renowned vocalist Katie Kissoon performed backing vocals on many of the tracks, having previously worked with the likes of Eric Clapton, Roger Waters, George Michael and many more. Rest In Blue also features Alan Clark, formerly of Dire Straits, on piano and the Hammond organ, alongside many other incredible musicians. Whilst the album features many long-time collaborators, it also features bright, upcoming talent in the form of producer Tambala, who co-produced and mixed the track Slow Down, the album’s first single.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"\"\u003eWith hits such as Baker Street, Right Down The Line and Night Owl, Gerry Rafferty is one of Scotland’s and the UK’s finest songwriters and musicians in history. He first found success as part of the band The Humblebums, which included beloved comedian, actor and musician Billy Connolly. Rafferty went on to form Stealers Wheel with old school friend Joe Egan, who produced a number of successful albums alongside the rock classic Stuck In The Middle With You, a track which has transcended generations with notable syncs in films such as Tarantino’s Resevoir Dogs, and is still widely popular to this day. Following his departure from Stealers Wheel, Rafferty relaunched his solo career in 1978 with the album City To City, including hits such as Right Down The Line and Baker Street, which features the iconic saxophone solo by Raphael Ravenscroft. Rafferty went on to release ten studio albums, solidifying his status one of the finest musicians and songwriters to come out of the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gerry Rafferty","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47614002462966,"sku":"190296700149","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/6162\/2262\/files\/gerry_rafferty-rest_in_blue-digital_-_low_res_2.jpg?v=1735233563"},{"product_id":"snakes-and-ladders-1lp-black-vinyl","title":"Snakes And Ladders (1LP Black Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eNewly remastered at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, Snakes and Ladders (1980), Gerry’s fourth album, includes \"The Garden Of England\" which was recorded at Beatles producer George Martin's AIR studio in Montserrat and \"Johnny's Song\", a remake of a song previously released by his former band Stealer's Wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gerry Rafferty","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47747683123446,"sku":"0190296375668","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/6162\/2262\/files\/Gerry_Rafferty_-_Snakes_And_Ladder-Optimised.jpg?v=1738955593"},{"product_id":"city-to-city-2lp-orange-vinyl","title":"City to City (2LP Orange Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eNewly remastered at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios and pressed exclusively on 2LP orange vinyl, City To City was Gerry Rafferty’s second solo album and first release since his departure from Stealers Wheel.
