Review

"Teaser and the Firecat" by Yusuf / Cat Stevens dropped in 1971, weaving together a beautiful blend of folk and pop. This gem, packed with both lively and wistful tracks, really showcases Stevens' unique musical flavor and reflective lyrics. Highlights like "Morning Has Broken," "Moonshadow," and "Peace Train" not only show off his vocal chops and emotional depth but also his knack for catchy tunes and deeply resonant words.

With Paul Samwell-Smith at the helm of production, the album's sound is enriched by a mix of acoustic guitar, piano, and percussion. Throw in guest talents like Rick Wakeman on piano and Linda Lewis on backing vocals, and you've got a layered and textured listening experience. "Teaser and the Firecat" didn't just stop in the top 3 in the UK and US charts; it spent a whopping 15 weeks at the pinnacle of Australia's charts, proving Stevens' prowess as a songwriter and performer. If you haven't yet, definitely give the 2021 remastered edition a spin; it's a polished take on a timeless classic that's perfect for both die-hard fans and newbies alike. - Preston
