"Baker Street"

Kay Das · From: Los Angeles CA

You may have seen the recent Sherlock Holmes based movie called...Mr. Holmes... and you may remember the (fictitious) street address. Baker Street, released in 1978, is one of Scottish-born artist Gerry Rafferty's greatest and most enduring hits . The song featured a prominent eight-bar saxophone riff played as a break between verses and is here given a bluesy fuzz steel guitar treatment. The alto sax break in the original is said to have caused a huge rise in the sale of saxophones when the track was first released.
The lead is played on two steel guitar tracks, one with a blues ( West Coast B11 tuning) and the other (Steelocaster A6 tuning) with a clean timbre. Rhythm and the (exceptional) bass guitar backing is by Ian McCutcheon with keyboards by Dave Prickett of the UK.
