Rock Around The World / April 1978 11
SCENE S
THEY SAY you're only as
I_ good as your last album.
And if there's any truth to the
word, then Gerry Rafferty has
nothing to fear.
If his name seems vaguely
familiar to you, if the voice
seems to flag some not-too-
distant memory, it's because
Gerry saturated the American
airwaves as the leader of
Stealer's Wheel. But that was the past. The present is Gerry's first
solo album, City to City. Filled with his distinctive voice and lyrical
songs, Gerry's new record has him back on the air in a very big way.
DILLY FALCON's come out
I/ of the basement right into
the limelight. His new album is
only his first but it's taking off
like a big step in a major career.
Burning Rose is filled with an
irresistible conviction
passionate lyrics set to some of
the finest rock and roll tracks
ever put down. Billy rehearsed
his band in his parents base-
ment for two years. And now
everybody agrees: They're ready.
