Cat Stevens (Yusef Islam) returns this week with his 1972 release, Catch Bull
At Four. "Sitting" would be the most remembered hit from this release, and
as as his past releases, this album captures the typical Cat Stevens rock sound that
everyone woud be familiar with and most enjoyed the most.
Most of Cat Stevens songs have an easy-going, singalong style. "Boy With A
Moon And Star On His Head" has this. There are the typical Cat Stevens rock songs,
such as "Angelsea," "Can't Keep It In," and "Freezing Steel."
everyone woud be familiar with and most enjoyed the most.
There are some great pleasant and nice songs throughout this album: "Silent
Sunlight" -- great piano orchestration; "18th Avenue," "Sweet's Scarlet"
and "Ruins." A heavy Spanish feel is heard on "O Caritas."
Catch Bull At Four is a good album. It has the typical Cat Stevens sound we
are most used to. It was #1 on the Billboard Albums chart. A good meditation
while listening, Cat Stevens is comfortaing music. I'm very curious to listen to
his music as Yusef Islam. He recently released Roadsinger. The reviews have
stated that the old Cat Stevens is back on this release. It would be very interesting
to his music now, and compare to his classic works.
Oh, don't be confused on looking at the picture of Cat Stevens on Catch Bull At
Four: It is not a picture of Bruce Springsteen from Born To Run. Both their
music is different from one another, but the resemblance is there, with both men wearing
beards. Cat Stevens was far from the likes of Bruce, yet both their music has always
been entertaining. Now that Yusef Islam is back as the "old Cat Stevens," let's hope he
keeps in touch with more good music.
