For any Cat Stevens fans out there...this could be a fairly big deal. This new album has production by Paul Samwell-Smith (producer of the heyday-years Cat Stevens albums) and also Alun Davies on guitar (who was also on the early albums) and is a sequel of sorts to the best-ever Cat Stevens album, Teaser and the Firecat. It even has original artwork like all his early albums did.
It seems like he is slowly but surely re-embracing his "Cat Stevens" persona....the songwriting credits are all "Yusuf/Cat Stevens." With his recent projects, you would never see the Cat Stevens name anywhere on the album package, except maybe on a sticker so people would know who the artist was. As a bit of icing on the cake, this album is on the "Cat-a-Log Records" label.
I'm looking forward to giving it a listen.
