This is the first studio album from Gerry Rafferty since bad diagnosis in 1980. For older fans Snakes and Ladders will put a massive smile accross your face. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Gerry Rafferty on ‘The Royal Mile’. I greatly enjoyed this CD.
It took me a little time but I ended up loving I Was A Boy Scout. Welcome To Hollywood is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. Wastin’ Away is really a nice song to relax and listen too. Look At The Moon is a cool song and it grows on you. Bring It All Home - This is a very lively song. The Garden Of England is a cool, simple song by Gerry Rafferty at the top of his game. Music and lyrics of Johnny’s Song creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. I think Syncopatin’ Sandy is the best song Gerry Rafferty has ever done. You can find feelings on this piece of art. Strong, powerful vocals of Gerry Rafferty in Don’t Close The Door are very impressive.
