Our Take

With his Original Album Series, Al Stewart proves that he's more than just the guy behind "Year of the Cat." This collection showcases five of his best albums, highlighting Stewart's lyrical prowess and distinctive folk-rock sound.

First up, we have "Year of the Cat," which catapulted Stewart to fame with its catchy hook and dreamy vocals. The title track is a timeless classic, but the album is filled with gems like "On the Border" and "Broadway Hotel."

Next, we have "Time Passages," a thought-provoking album that tackles themes of time and memory. Stewart's storytelling abilities shine through on tracks like "Time Passages" and "End of the Day," creating a nostalgic yet profound listening experience.

"Past, Present and Future" delves into historical and philosophical themes, showcasing Stewart's intellectual depth. From the haunting "Nostradamus" to the reflective "Road to Moscow," this album is a masterclass in poetic songwriting.

"The Year of the Cat" takes a more introspective turn, with Stewart exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. The title track remains a standout, but tracks like "Sirens of Titan" and "Midas Shadow" showcase Stewart's musical versatility.

Finally, "Modern Times" rounds out the collection with its introspective lyrics and intricate melodies. Stewart's introspective musings on modern society make this album a thought-provoking listen from start to finish.

Overall, Al Stewart's Original Album Series is a must-have for fans of folk-rock and intelligent songwriting. Stewart's poetic lyrics and captivating melodies make this collection a timeless addition to any music lover's library.
