“You can really bring so much more to rock'n'roll. Rock'n'roll is the most accepting, is the most fertile ground for creating hybrid forms of music and hybrid forms of show, if you draw from many, many different wells. It's just unfortunate so many rock'n'roll stars only bother to learn how to play like Led Zeppelin and/or the Rolling Stones and that's what you get, disc after disc and show after show.” IfsWellsDifferentPlayShowsFormStarsAcceptingRocksCreatingDrawsStonesBotherRock N RollUnfortunateRollingFertileRolling StonesHybridZeppelinsDiscsFertile Ground Author:David Lee Roth

“The sax solo as we know it today would not exist without Gerry Rafferty. His 1978 soft-rock classic 'Baker Street' has to be the 'Ulysses' of rock & roll saxophone, giving the entire chorus over to Raphael Ravenscroft's sax solo, creating one of the Seventies' most enduringly creepy sounds.” KnowsGivingTodaySoundStreetsRocksCreatingClassicSoloSeventiesCreepyChorusSaxophoneBakersUlyssesRaphaelBaker Street Author:Rob Sheffield
