CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Two CD compilation that spans the singer/songwriter's entire career. A troubadour and master storyteller, Al Stewart's timeless songs have earned him a revered place in contemporary music. The Scottish singer-songwriter is perhaps best known for his hit song 'Year of the Cat' but there is much more to his extensive 24 album back catalogue than one song and this compilation gives the highlights of his career from his first album released in 1967 Bedsitter Images through to 2005's A Beach Full of Shells . 30 tracks including 'Time Passages', 'On The Border', 'Nostradamus Pt. 1 & Pt. 2' and, of course, 'Year Of The Cat'. EMI. 2006. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA Piece of Yesterday served Ala' Carte Michael Ziegler | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania United States | 10/26/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This new 2CD set, just released features about two or so songs per Album that Al Stewart has published thoughout his entire career. From Bedsitter Images, Zero She Flies, Orange of the early days to the breakout Past, Present & Future, to fame in Year of the Cat, Time Passages and relative obscurity in Last Days of the Century to unique work in a 30's style album and Down in the Cellar and back again on a Beach Full of Shells. This CD set has some of the best selections. Included are Live recordings of Nostradamus and Roads to Moscow. One of my personal favorites from the early days, "Manuscript" is included in this set and it is a very pleasing sampling of a great productive career. Al is still plugging away and his most recent work "A Beach Full of Shells" at age 60 is actually one of his better compositions, so we can't count Al out until he decides to stop touring and writing. May he live long!" Great Songs BUT... John Harwell | Grove City, OH USA | 06/04/2007 (3 out of 5 stars) "I have always thought that a compilation from Al Stewart would be a waste. I have reviewed other CDs by him as extremely enjoyable. The songs on this CD are well chosen and excellant representations.
So what's my problem with this CD. Al Stewart has planned his CDs so well in the past that these random cuts do not convey the mood and mastery of his full CDs. I am a true fan and want everyone to experience Al's music but you really miss his real synergy of a complete album. All the parts are better a s a whole. Of course , with many compilations, my favorite individual songs are not there. Modern Times is not represented well. If you have not heard Al, please, buy this CD. If you have heard Al, you know what I am talking about." |
