Cat Stevens - Teaser and the Firecat (1971)



The girls used to swoon over 'Morning Has Broken' as we groaned collectively. But then, we were predisposed to frown on anything that sounded sweet... except Sweet, of course.

In any case, I really liked most of the songs on this LP, particularly 'Moonshadow' and 'Peace Train'. This was music you usually heard on a sunny Sunday and momentarily forgot that innocence was slipping away from your life. And now, listening to it is a good way to remind yourself that before he became the holier-than-thou Yusuf Islam, Cat Stevens was a pretty fun dude!
