 Wild World Oh Very Young Can't Keep It In Hard Headed Woman | Moonshadow Two Fine People Peace Train Ready | Father & Son Sitting Morning Has Broken Another Saturday Night |
| Professional Review: |
| Before Cat Stevens changed his name to Yusef Islam, he had a slew of hits built around his soft, yet sometimes coarse, vocals. Stevens utilized a variety of instrumentation and rhythms in his predominantly acoustic arrangements, and songs like "Peace Train," and "Another Saturday Night" had a multi-cultural feel to them. Greatest Hits provides a decent overview of his more popular work, including the poignant "Oh Very Young" and "Father & Son." Unfortunately, the delightful yet brief "Tea for the Tillerman" is not present. The lovely "Morning Has Broken" has elements of Stevens's growing concern with religion, philosophy, and the relationship between the cerebral and the spiritual. In the early 1980s, Stevens, now Yusef, "retired" from the music profession because of his new beliefs. --Steve Gdula |

 Written on May 13, 2007 Summary: THE VERY BEST OF CAT STEVENS !!! IF YOU ARE A FAN OF CAT STEVENS--THIS IS A MUST FOR YOUR CD COLLECTION !!! ALL THE GREATEST HITS !!! Written on March 3, 2007 Summary: great compilation While there are several options available if you're looking for a CD with a good collection of Cat Stevens songs, this one may be the best bargain. In fairness though, Cat Stevens Gold, and The Very Best of Cat Stevens do give you a lot more songs for not a whole lot more money. Others have mentioned a track on this CD that is not present on other compilations, which is great. For someone like me though, who is just looking for a good sampling of some of the Cat Steven's songs I know best, the clencher is that Cat Stevens Greatest Hits is a solid collection at an excellent price. Written on February 18, 2007 Summary: The power of Cat Cat Stevens will never be forgotten. He sang so beautifully and employed the guitar so well in the arrangements of his songs that just one listen to his music thrills you. This CD makes you crave more of his fine artistry; his voice on this CD is strong, masculine yet sensitive and passionate. The CD opens with a very popular song which will forever be associated with Cat Stevens entitled "Wild World." The lyrics show just how much Cat mourns the loss of his woman and the guitar changes chords at all the right moments in order to enhance the melancholy feel of this ballad. The overall effect strikes you with its beauty and beckons you instantly to listen to the rest of the CD. "Can't Keep It In" allows Cat the opportunity to explore the topic of feeling a love for someone who can't quite relax in order to experience her true love for him. The musical arrangement stays strong with the band and a chorus in the background. Excellent! "Hard Headed Woman" possesses great strength as well; Cat sings of his desire to find his one true love. His voice is passionate and the arrangement for the guitar moves me deeply. Other beautiful songs on this CD include Cat's declaration of true love for his woman in "Two Fine People;" "Peace Train" with a rock feel that also sounds vaguely like a country ballad and "Father & Son" which deals with the predictable but honest disagreements between a father and son about how best to live life. The CD ends with two memorable ballads. "Morning Has Broken" features lyrics by Eleanor Farjeon and Cat's musical arrangement leaves nothing to be desired. The piano and the guitar sound wonderful; and the choir in the background bolsters the song even further. "Another Saturday Night," written by Sam Cooke, closes the album on a playful note even if Cat feels frustrated that he cannot find a woman to have fun with now that he "just got paid." The liner notes include the lyrics and some of the album credits are there, too. The CD artwork shines and reflects a great deal of forethought. Cat Stevens is still one of the few artists who could turn out songs that appealed to very broad audiences. His melodies strike you instantly as being infectiously catchy and very admirable. If you like this CD I recommend other CDs by Cat Stevens including Tea For The Tillerman and Footsteps in the Dark: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2. Fans of classic rock and pop will also enjoy this CD. Written on December 4, 2006 Summary: The essentials of Cat Stevens' music Considering that this is the only collection with the gorgeous "Two Fine People", I would have to say that this hits collection is indeed the one to pick up. Every song is filled with the character and tender melodies that Stevens would pour into his work, and I can recall many years ago when I first came across this CD, how the many listens I would give to it would give me peace when times were rather chaotic and stressful. From "Wild World" to "Oh Very Young", this hits collection from Stevens is well-worth the purchase. Written on April 29, 2006 Summary: An extraordinary collection of timeless music! I would highly recommend this CD in any colllector's library. It is a fine selection of perhaps the most memorable recordings of a folk-rock genius. Cat Stevens displays that mellow, serene style of singing that captivates the listener and brings back a feeling of youth and rejuvenates the mind. The songs "Wild World" and "Peace Train" have that distinctive, unmistakable Cat Stevens genre that never seems to tire the listener. This CD is a must for all folk-rock lovers and will go well with a cup of coffee or a can of beer on a sunny afternoon!! |
