    Teaser & the Firecat & Tea For the Tillerman are both great albums.

    If I were to have a Top 10 it would be:

    1. Morning Has Broken
    2. Can't Keep It In
    3. Lady D'Arbanville (trivia: this song is about Patti D'Arbanville, who played Amber Twine in the Dead Dog arc of Wiseguy)
    4. Wild World
    5. Oh Very Young
    6. Sad Lisa
    7. Moonshadow
    8. Ruby Love (shows his Greek roots - he was born Steven Georgiou)
    9. Where Do The Children Play
    10. Longer Boats

    Thanks Brooke. I'm so glad somebody likes him besides me! There's probably a more traditional version of Wild World, however he doesn't veer to far from the original in this one.

    Thanks so much Soda. I have not followed Yusef's career very closely, but I would like to start.

    Yusef Islam was on Chris Issak last night. He was amazing! they didnt have his show up yet, but here's the preview of it.
    Chris Issak Hour: Yusef Isam preview

    sorry *G* you'll have to deal with the advertisement before *G*

    He has a new CD coming out that sounds great! He sang a few of the songs from it and played a few old favorites. There's one I just love that's a rework of Peace Train called Peace Train Blues. Im off to find out if it's available for download!

    Thank you so, so much for that Ticky. I just love to listen to him talk! And it's not just the British accent - he's always had a very calming voice, and he always sounds like he's putting a lot of thought into what he's saying. It is yet to be seen whether I can go beyond my love of the seventies Cat, and embrace the music of Yousef Islam. I have seen a few of his things on youtube, but it just makes me nostalgic for the 'old' Cat. I think it helps to see him being interviewed. I hope I don't forget to tape Leno!

    Thanks to Ticky's post I've gone digging. Here is the title track of Yousuf's new album, Roadsinger.

    I haven't made it through all of the new videos, but here's one of my favorites so far. It's called Everytime I Dream.
