Music Reviews of Tea for the Tillerman
Music Review: A classic collection of songs by a wonderful balladeer
Rating: 5 Stars
This is one of the best albums that I have ever heard. It is hard to put together Cat Stevens in one category, is he rock and roll? Or is he folk music? It dosent matter because all of his albums are so good, and Tea for the Tillerman in my opinion is the very best. "Father and Son" "Sad Lisa" "Longer Boats" "Wild World" and every song on this album are outstanding. This is one of the early 1970's greatest albums and its easy to know why after you listen to this. Highly recommended!Music Review: A Fav!
Rating: 5 Stars
I just saw HAROLD AND MAUDE again this week (ie: the movie) and remembered how much I had loved TEA FOR THE TILLERMAN.
I had owned this as a vinyl album many yrs ago, and had played it all the time.So of course after seeing the movie, I just had to re-order this album in CD format.
No disappointments here. It's as good as ever.
I ordered this album as a Re-mastered CD version and it sounded GREAT! Worth the extra few dollars!
Music Review: Tea For Cat
Rating: 5 Stars
This is such a great album.
Mona Bone Jakon, Tea For The Tillerman, and Teaser and the Firecat are all perfect LP's, just get them all. You can't go wrong with Cat Stevens!
Where Do the Children Play is my favorite Cat song
Wild World is probably his most listenable song
Miles From Nowhere, Longer Boats, and On The Road to Findout are some of his best as well
I think this is one of the coolest albums to be a fan of, everyone should give it a chance
Music Review: Avoid "Cat Steven's Greatest Hits" at all costs
Rating: 5 Stars
In general, I think Greatest Hits albums are to be avoided, and nowhere is that more true than with Cat Stevens. "Tillerman" and "Teaser and the Firecat" beg to be listened to in their original form. Otherwise, you'd miss "Sad Lisa" and "Miles From Nowhere".
Other than that, what can I add to what's already been said? Truly a landmark album, and one of the most sonically important albums of the era. Want a real treat? Pick up a copy on 180g vinyl; pure magic.
Music Review: A Masterpiece
Rating: 5 Stars
I can't add much to the other reviews, except to agree that, yes, this is Mr. Steven's definitive masterwork. This has definitely stood the test of time. As a philosophy major, I can't agree with his narrow religious fanaticism, but his early works show an open-minded seeker with a gift for inspired lyrics and great music. I would also recommend Teaser and the Firecat, along with some great works of literature such as Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, and Why I Am Not A Muslim.
