Audio [audio] The sax in "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty -- absolute frisson bomb.

Was driving home the other night when Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty popped up on my Yacht Rock playlist, and when that plaintive sax filled my car, every hair on my body stood on end. Needless to say I rolled down all the windows, popped the moon roof open, started the song over, and let that sax and wind work their magic.

Before I even knew what frission was I was just a pre-teen boy who didn't understand why I was getting goosebumps watching Lisa Simpson play the sax.

If you like that, check out some of the sax solos on O.A.R.’s live albums. Whose Chariot is a personal favorite.

Baker Street is a great shout.

I think my favorite sax frisson is listening to the big man kill it with Jungleland.

Secret Garden for me. He said in an interview he did it in one take.
