Following up the behemoth 'Baker Street' and 'City to City' LP was always going to be impossible, but for me 'Night Owl' is my favorite Gerry Rafferty recording. Maybe it was my age - 15 - but it came at a crucial time in my development and appreciation of bona fide organic music, and Mr Rafferty was the real deal. This 1979 single provided him with another U.S Hit, but could only manage a #90 in Australia  - shame Aussies shame! But then again in Britain it was only a #30 success. Nevertheless it is another example of the clever artistry of music and lyrics and production that made Gerry Rafferty one of the most distinctive recording acts of the era.
