Music reviews of Teaser & The Firecat
Music Review: Start With the Cover When Judging This Album
Rating: 5 Stars
I think I have every album ever made by Cat Stevens, and this is one of my two favorites. (The cover is Stevens' own work: before Cat Stevens decided to try his hand at professional musicianship, he was in art school.) "If I Laugh" and "How Can I Tell You" are among the most heart-rending songs in my family's extensive music collection. (IMO, few musicians do the empty-heartsick-lonely thang as well as Cat Stevens.) "Tuesday's Dead," with full, fun, upbeat instrumentation, is probably the most upbeat song on the album - along with "Ruby Love," a hat-tip to Stevens' Greek roots. If you like Cat Stevens but don't have any of his albums, this is a good one to start with. Along with the songs I've mentioned, it features three hits you'll surely recognize ("Morning Has Broken," "Moonshadow" and "Peace Train").
Description of Teaser & The Firecat
The third album Cat Stevens put out in a 15-month burst that began in the summer of 1970 with Mona Bone Jakon, Teaser and the Firecat is where the enigmatic folk-pop idol crested commercially, if not artistically. Its immediate predecessor, Tea for the Tillerman, possesses an air of mystery and unforced whimsy that proved impossible for Stevens to replicate. That said, the singer-songwriter had it in him to pull together a captivating collection that boasted two of the biggest hits of his meteoric, if self-inhibited, career--"Peace Train" and the sublime hymn "Morning Has Broken." "The Wind," "If I Laugh," and "Moonshadow" are every bit as tuneful and appealing as the hits, while "Rubylove," "How Can I Tell You," and "Bitterblue" would be standouts on Stevens's less accomplished later albums. In fact, only the bellicose social statements "Changes IV" and "Tuesday's Dead" ring hollow. --Steven StolderAlbum-Oriented Rock (AOR) CDs
