Where this album fits
- Career context
- When Gerry Rafferty released 'North and South' in April 1988, he was navigating a transitional phase after his commercial success in the late 1970s. This album followed his previous work, 'City to City', which had solidified his reputation as a solo artist but also set high expectations for future releases. 'North and South' marked his continued exploration of personal and social themes, though it did not achieve the same level of commercial acclaim.
