The story behind
Gerry Rafferty recorded Home and Dry in 1978, when he had already been away from releasing new material for some time. After being in the group Stealers Wheel and going through some legal problems, he found himself back alone with his guitar. The song was released on the album City to City, which was a success. In the United States, it made it to the top 10, and in Canada, many people covered it. The song lasts just over four minutes, and follows that smooth voice that Gerry has. People continue to listen to it, and on Last.fm it has over 75 thousand plays. It's a song that sticks in your head, and one that can be played without complications.
