Free Music Notes for Tea for the Tillerman
Free Music Review: SONGS OF HOPE AND FINDING YOURSELF
Hit: 5 Stars
Having recently seen Cat on Sunday Morning, it was pleasant and refreshing to hear his thoughts and comments. Tea for the Tillerman is a wonderful soul searching album. "Where do the Children Play" takes a cut at man's avarice and how in the end where will the children play. "Miles from Nowhere" is probably one of my favorites because it is an honest insight to death stating that, in the end i will not need my body! "But I Might Die Tonight" simply tells me we must search, strive for our goals in life, and be what you want to be. The ahs and reverb added at the end of the song are soul moving. "Father and Son" deals with a father and son trying to understand each other, and making up.
The album does not have one weak song. It deals with all aspects of life and what happens! For me its like a Beatles Album. No weak songs. If you love Acoustic guitar songs, this is perfect for you.
Free Music Review: Best of his best
Hit: 5 Stars
Cat Stevens was, and remains, my favorite musical performer. This is perhaps the first widely popular (more mainstream) album Cat Stevens created. While his many other albums are absolutely outstanding, this one provides a great starting point for a new affectionado to follow his singing and songwriting journey. I don't believe any of his other albums include the song "Into White" - a truly inspired song to me that isn't included on his recently released boxed set or his other two "Greatest Hits" albums. The clarity and strength of his voice is unmatched. His concerts were a gift to those of us who journeyed along with him. His music lives on with us who followed him until he left the music world, as well as with many newcomers as evidenced by the popularity expressed on his website. His albums are among the few where nearly every cut becomes a favorite.Free Music Review: Not Hype as Much as Hope...
Hit: 5 Stars
I am not going to "hype" this recording because it doesn't need hype what it does need, however, is the hope that are really serious about purchasing this great piece of music. This is clearly a standout of the time as well as a standout in the time we are in now. It's timeless music because it delves with timeless issues. I originally bought it because my friend does a pretty great cover of "Father and Son" and through repeated listenings to the song it really made me want to extend my heart to my own father instead of just closing myself off to him. I'm not going to go overboard into explanation about each song because I am hoping that you'll just buy it and more importantly listen to its beauty, its depth, and its bittersweet melodies about a life that just wants to be lived out.
Live your life out with the help of this CD.
Peace & Blessings.
Free Music Review: Ooh baby, it's a wild world, where have all the songs gone?
Hit: 5 Stars
1970 brought a collection of new artists/musicians that spoke directly to every listener. "Tea For The Tillerman" spoke with a poetic intimacy. Cat spoke from the first person. It was almost like reading (hearing) someone's diary. "Where Do All The Children Play?" begins a string of personal tales that are both pointed and political. The high quality of his vocals and poetics continues right through to "Father And Son". His voice and music are both folksy and cutting edge. You feel like this young man has an "old" soul from which he drinks from daily. Every song holds up. "Wild World" was my introduction to Cat. I still find it one of rock's most poignant and hauntingly insightul song. As the years pass Cat's songs become more relevant. Just wish he had made some more music!Free Music Review: This IS the best of Cat Stevens
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not even much of a Cat Stevens fan, but great music transcends all. This is an essential recording in any music-lovers' collection.My personal favorite, and what I think is Cat Stevens' greatest song, is "On the Road to Find Out". Incredibly, it does not even appear in the "Best Of" collection, which I would avoid since it's mostly filled with mediocre tunes.
Also excellent, and almost on par with "On the Road..." are "Where do the Children Play?", "Hard Headed Woman", "Wild World", and "Sad Lisa". These are the first four songs on the album - what a start!
Very solid, and great contributions of which any artist would be proud, are "Miles from Nowhere", "Longer Boats", "Into White", and "Father and Son".
"But I Might Die Tonight" and "Tea for the Tillerman" are fillers. Just my humble opinion, of course!
