Free Music Review: Bonfire! Crazy! Love this CD...
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't recall this CD (I have 2 copies of the LP as well!) being a commercial success and I can't understand why. It is classic Cat Stevens, albeit a bit upbeat. Bonfire and Crazy are my personal favorites. If you are a Cat Stevens fan you will enjoy it.
Izitso Poster
Though his fans may scarcely have realized it at the time, by the time of 1977's Izitso Cat Stevens's restless spiritual quest and unease with the trappings of fame was leading him to a personal watershed. Not long after, he would renounce his successful career and dedicate his life to charitable works and the study of Islam. Following the odd, self-produced "Pythagorean Theory Tale" that was his Numbers album, Stevens veered back toward the pop mainstream here, allowing producer David Kershenbaum to once again burnish his songs to familiar pop accessibility, utilizing everything from then-contemporary synthesizer sounds to the veteran Muscle Shoals rhythm section. But if tracks like the jaunty hit "Old Shoolyard" returned Stevens to familiar hit-machine territory, there was also a growing sense of worldly unease beneath the pop sheen, from the lovely, airy fatalism of "Life" to the career-crisis confessional "(I Never Wanted) To Be a Star." This would be Stevens's last gold record, and a surprisingly strong one from an artist on the verge of dropping out of show business for decades. --Jerry McCulleyInternational Music CDs
