Distinctive voice of Gerry Rafferty, but where are the dulcet tones of Billy Connolly?

[SilverWolfMoon]

I don't know for certain, but I read somewhere that although these songs were released on The Humblebums albums, Gerry and Billy actually recorded several of them seperately.

@SilverWolfMoon That is so sad - could they not get on together?

[SilverWolfMoon]

@MsBkirk It may just be that they each had some songs they had worked on themselves, and decided to include them on the albums.

Heard it on BBC Radio 2 on the 4.3.09 and thought it was brilliant i may only be twelve but i love old songs folk songs Wurzels, John Tams you name it and i will probably like it.

Fantastic

[SilverWolfMoon]

I'm really glad you liked it, and also that BBC Radio 2 played it ~ it's quite rare to hear The Humblebums on the radio these days :)

Wonderful song - love Gerry Rafferty's voice and his lyrics have meaning. "Like a bird on a tree - I just want to be free.." Thank you for sharing

Just discovered this today. Didn't know Gerry existed before Baker Street. Thank you so much for posting this and thank goodness for Youtube.

Hello Andy, you should be 14 by now, and great folks enjoy gfood music at whatever age. I am 50 to day, but when I was playing these songs at secondary school I was 14-15.

Here in Cameroon, that is in Africa, Gerry washed some lulling smoothness into our young brains and this music today is also fully enjoyed by my children.

Great Artist.

Billy was great!.

They should have given him an album deal atleast!. Last I heard,over 30 years ago now,he was living as a wino.

He must be long dead by now.

Sad!...

Again so much regconition in Gerry's way of thinking, his way of life.... And he wanted to be an engine driver when he grew up.... Me too.... But I couldn't be that, so now I'm a deep sea diver (in other words, I'm diving through the seas of my mind and soul and of those of all the other people; without a real destination)
