Free Music Notes for Teaser and the Firecat
Free Music Review: The purpose of music
Hit: 5 Stars
I recently heard an events promotor interviewed. When asked why we keep bringing song artists from the 60's & 70"s back he said - "because these people can still fill the big venues - yes, there are younger artists producing good songs but not enough producing a whole lot of good songs".
Some how Cat Stevens was not part of my adolescence [yes that is true] so when I saw a documentary on Josuf islam in which some of his music was featured the tunes were appealing and the lyrics interested me. I bought two albums - one of which is Teaser and the Firecat.
Marcia Hines [Australian music icon and Australian Idol judge] says - "the purpose of music is to inspire and uplift people" - well this album is inspirational - the lyrics are even more valid today than they were then. I have no doubt should Cat/Josuf ever choose to tour again - he would fill those big venues - three times over - all over the world. In the meantime we have the recording.
Teaser and the Firecat Poster
The third album Cat Stevens put out in a 15-month burst that began in the summer of 1970 with Mona Bone Jakon, Teaser and the Firecat is where the enigmatic folk-pop idol crested commercially, if not artistically. Its immediate predecessor, Tea for the Tillerman, possesses an air of mystery and unforced whimsy that proved impossible for Stevens to replicate. That said, the singer-songwriter had it in him to pull together a captivating collection that boasted two of the biggest hits of his meteoric, if self-inhibited, career--"Peace Train" and the sublime hymn "Morning Has Broken." "The Wind," "If I Laugh," and "Moonshadow" are every bit as tuneful and appealing as the hits, while "Rubylove," "How Can I Tell You," and "Bitterblue" would be standouts on Stevens's less accomplished later albums. In fact, only the bellicose social statements "Changes IV" and "Tuesday's Dead" ring hollow. --Steven StolderPop Music CDs
