I'd been aware of the Humblebums for years but never heard any of their work before buying this album. I had heard both Connolly and Rafferty (who comes from my home town) individually and wondered what the combined effort would be like. In truth it's a bit of a mixed bag. Rafferty's superior songwriting talent is evident in songs such as I Can't Stop Now and Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway. Connelly holds his own with quality contributions such as the Give Me a Little of Your Time and the sing-along Saturday Round About Sunday. Connelly's comic songwriting comes across in Why Don't They Come Back to Dunoon and Little Blue Lady (which features the best comb and paper musicianship I've ever heard!) There is some filling out to stretch this to a double album but the emerging talent of two entertainers who went on to achieve great things shows through often enough to make this a worthwhile purchase.

worth every penny 20 Mar 2001

This is a fantastic album. If you are at all interested in Billy Connollys early folkie days and Gerry Rafferty's too (Steelers Wheel) then this is a must buy. You can't go wrong for less than a fiver! All the songs are hear on one double CD. The easy listening folk tunes are great to listen to in the car or just for having for nostalgia. You won't go wrong if you throw this in your trolly and like me will probably be pleasantly surprised.

A very impressive set of original songs. It is easy to see why Gerry Rafferty went on to become such world wide success with his songs....and Billy Connelly a recognised clown
