A masterpiece of British pop where lyricism and contemporary sensibilities intersect.
This work by the Scottish singer-songwriter blends urban romance with literary lyricism, producing a high-quality sound that lies somewhere between AOR and folk.
Al Stewart's soft vocals and narrative lyrics blend into a sophisticated soundscape. Centered around the classic "Year of the Cat," the album exudes a melancholy that evokes the end of an era. Produced by Alan Parsons, the soundscape is clear and three-dimensional. The warmth of folk music intertwines with the chicness of AOR, evoking new images with every listen.
