PappyTron Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Cat/Yousef has a beautiful voice, and I feel that he rarely gets the recognition that he deserves. So, anyone else really dig his music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Fuck yeah, I love Cat! Teaser and the Firecat, Tea for the Tillerman, Mona Bone Jakon... he had an excellent line of albums in the early 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONEZY Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 His music is pretty good. Tough to forgive him for his stance on S. Rushdie though. Yeah I know he says he didn't want anyone to kill him, but it didn't come out that way Cat...........errr......Yusef.Harold and Maude is a great movie though.

mr.b Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Does he do that song Father and Sons? I think I heard Cohen do a version of it?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAZ65 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) Does he do that song Father and Sons? I think I heard Cohen do a version of it?...He certainly does!

Anyways, a good place to start with Cat would be his arguably most popular and best album, Tea for the Tillerman.

Projected Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 An Other Cup by Yussuf Islam.His best, and IMO only good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Ever heard his early 70s stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alty Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 "Cats in the Cradle" isn't a Cat Stevens song. Anyways, a good place to start with Cat would be his arguably most popular and best album, Tea for the Tillerman. Well then I have a soft spot for his cover version. Are we happy now, Lithium?So 'Tea for the Tillerman' or this "An Other Cup" one.The first has Wild World, seems as good a place as any to start.

Lithium Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I don't think he covers it either. Let me guess, you got it from Limewire or some other p2p-network? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alty Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I have no idea, I think it was off someone elses external hardrive. That thing was a jackpot.Maybe he never did cover it, but it seems to be a common misconception, I googled it there now to try n find it.Should I sing you some lines from Wild World instead?Regardless, I'm downloading 'Tea for Tillerman' now. Can you confirm this is a Cat Stevens album and not a Harry Chapin one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 You don't need to sing me any lines from "Wild World", I know that song pretty much in and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G n F n R Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The first song I remember as a child was "Wild World". "Wild World", "Peace Train", and "Morning has Broken" are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
