"A sadly underrated and underappreciated record. Same can be said of Rafferty himself and his career. City To City was so much more than just that sax solo on "Baker Street"." Reply

"Some of the songwriting here is up there with the very best by the likes of Cat Power, Fiona Apple or Liz Phair. "Chemo Limo" and "Carbon Monoxide" in particular were a real punch, truly heartbreaking. Not all the songs are hits, but overall the album was a very good surprise." Reply

"A really fun listen! Granted, the record sounds a bit dated in some parts, but that doesn't take away from its overall charm. If you like big band music, this one's for you." Reply

"Yes, it can get a little ridiculous in its final acts, but you have to admire it as an artistic statement. A radical and fresh mixture of Brazilian rhythms and rock music." Reply

"Stunningly crisp psychedelic rock out of San Fran. Some of the cleanest instrumentals that you can find from the era appear on this album. Very nice-sounding and well-recorded on the whole. The vocals, while passionate, lack some of the coolness that I enjoy about the instruments. One of the best..." [+] Reply

"At the end of last year I’d been dreaming up a piece on Lingua Ignota (real name Kristin Hayter) and female subjectivity in metal and its subgenres. And who knows, maybe at some point it will see the light of day. But for now, here is as good as any place to let some of those half-formed ideas un..." [+] Reply

"The title is no jest; this is country music. But it's Waylon and Willie country, straight out of the early 70s. As people's patience wears thin with checklist songs and beer anthems, this album is being raised as a beacon. If you've ever been known to say, "I don't like country music," please giv..." [+] Reply

"Any doubts that they wouldn't recover from Isaac Woods departure are quickly squished with this fantastic live album. Definitely prefer the tracks with Mae Kershaw as the lead vocalist over the male vocalists. Not that Tyler Hyde's and Lewis Evan's vocals are inherently bad, just that with Mae sh..." [+] Reply
