“Stuck in the Middle with You” was released on Stealers Wheel’s 1972 eponymous debut album. Gerry Rafferty provided the lead vocals, with Joe Egan singing harmony. Rafferty’s lyrics are a dismissive tale of a music industry cocktail party written (i.e. the clowns and jokers would be all the music executives and hangers on), and performed as a parody of Bob Dylan’s style (the vocal impression, subject, and styling were so similar, listeners have wrongly attributed the song to Dylan since its release).The song is also used in Quentin Tarantino’s 1992 debut film Reservoir Dogs.
We actually play the very bluesy cover by The Jeff Healey Band as it fits our style better, whilst still keeping true to the original song. Jeff Healey is a fantastic blue player which if you havn’t herd of him, you should definitly check him out.
Recorded 100% live at Tony’s Birthday Party.
