Gerry Rafferty \u2013 \u2018Baker Street\u2019 (1978)<\/p>\r\n
There are a handful of pop and rock songs with really famous saxophone solos. For example, \u2018You Can Call Me Al\u2019 by Paul Simon and \u2018Your Latest Trick\u2019 from Dire Straits\u2019 excellent album \u2018Brothers in Arms\u2019, both of which I\u2019ll write about in future blogs. More recently, there\u2019s \u2018Run Away With Me\u2019 by Carly Rae Jepsen. One more, the topic of this month\u2019s entry, is \u2018Baker Street\u2019 by Gerry Rafferty.<\/p>\r\n
You might know Gerry Rafferty from his band, Stealers Wheel, who had a big hit with \u2018Stuck in the Middle with You\u2019 in 1973. And you might know Baker Street too \u2013 it\u2019s in London, and is mostly known as the (fictional) home of the (fictional) detective Sherlock Holmes. Holmes may be fictional, but there\u2019s still a very popular museum in his honour on Baker Street.<\/p>\r\n
Rafferty\u2019s song \u2018Baker Street\u2019 was named after that road. It was written and recorded at a time when Rafferty would regularly stay a friend\u2019s house on Baker Street. At the time, Rafferty was struggling with financial and legal issues related to Stealers Wheel breaking up, and those struggles come through in the lyrics. In the opening verses, Rafferty sings of someone who\u2019s tired and lonely in the big city, and who drinks too much to dull their misery, and who longs to buy a house out in the countryside to escape from urban life. By the end of the song, the mood is more optimistic: \u201cthe sun is shining\/It\u2019s a new morning.\u201d That optimism reflects Rafferty\u2019s feelings after the resolution of his troubles.<\/p>\r\n
There are several versions of this song, each different lengths, but the best is undoubtedly the 6-minute album version, which allows you to fully appreciate that iconic saxophone melody, played by Raphael Ravenscroft.<\/p>\r\n
