This is a grown up record which came out when I was still a child who knew very little about the world. Guarded by parents who were slightly innocent themselves, but smart and keen enough to protect their offspring from the worst the world had to offer.
City To City is a wordly album bir one that sounds as if it's seeking respite. Baker Street is not unnaturally its centerpiece. A song that is still a towering narrative of struggle that became an immediate fixture of daytime AOR. Embedded itself into the narrative of British Pop and cultural history, Pushing down a busy urban town high street into a strong gale. 'give up the booze and the one night stands.' I didn't have the slightest notion of what it was about when I heard it when I was thirteen.
Everything else is beautifully written and played. A great record to listen to as the sky darkens outside my window and I make my way towards shut eye,
