Album Of The Week - Sunday 27th April 2008


Cat Stevens - Tea For The Tillerman


Not a new album, but a great one nonetheless, Tea For The Tillerman shows Stevens at his finest. From the sarcastic, almost playful tones and expressions in his voice in 'Wild World' (the grunt on the word 'and' in the chorus never fails to please), to the desperation that's felt in the track 'Father and Son', this album is full of so much emotion you can't help but be moved by it.

Some may recognise that the title track is played over the closing credits of the Ricky Gervais series 'Extras'. Not a long track, 'Tea For The Tllerman' starts off mellow then builds to a grand chorus of voices.

Whatever mood you are in this is a great album to sit down and listen to. With it's underlying messages and raw emotion, it will have you thinkning in no time at all.
