Free Music Notes for Footsteps in the Dark: Greatest Hits 2
Free Music Review: Songs from "Harold and Maude"
Hit: 4 Stars
Sometimes it's fun just to listen to "happy" songs--Victoria Williams, Tom Jones, The Monkees, and others. Cat Stevens also ranks as an artist who makes happy music. One of the top tracks of this variety is "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out", certainly the highlight anthem of the dark comedy "Harold and Maude", but it also features another selection from the film, "Where Do the Children Play?". Fans of Cat Stevens, happy music, and "Harold and Maude" will enjoy this CD.Free Music Review: something old, something new
Hit: 4 Stars
If you are wondering about the music you hear in commercials or movies, this may lead you to discover that something old has reappeared as something new. Cat Stevens who has reinvented himself as Yusaf due to a self discovery of faith, is worth the time to listen to a style of music that has unknowingly influenced some Indie bands in this era.Free Music Review: Disappointing song selection
Hit: 1 Stars
With such a wealth of excellent material to draw from, Cat Stevens' Greatest Hits Volume 2 could have been tremendous. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Not only is nearly every song slow, making the album drag terribly, but they picked some real clunkers ("I Want to Live in a Wigwam", "Daytime", "Don't be Shy"). Where are "Tuesday's Dead", "Longer Boats", "(Remember the Days of) The Old Schoolyard", "Later", and "Changes"? Some of these uptempo songs would have been much better choices than the previously-mentioned dirges. While I'm complaining, why in the world did they repeat a song ("Father and Son") from GH1? The best thing that I can say about this collection is that they reached back to include material from the frequently-overlooked "Mona Bone Jakon" album. Unless you're looking for relief from chronic insomnia, save your money on this set, and either hope that they release a GH3 containing some of Cat Stevens' better material, or pick up "Teaser and the Firecat" or "Tea for the Tillerman".
