A story of a night spirit embracing loneliness and kindness
A masterpiece that combines soft melodies with urban melancholy.
Following the success of "Baker Street," this album perfectly combines Rafferty's mature songwriting with an introspective worldview. Featuring impressive saxophone and vocals that evoke the stillness of the night, this album represents the pinnacle of late '70s singer-songwriter talent.
