Tea for the Tillerman
Cat StevensBeautiful vibes right off the bat. Teaser and the firecat was a fixture of my childhood, so it makes sense that I would immediately like this one. The emotional impact of his music makes it hit just as hard as some of the actually heavy music I listen to. Its mostly just a man expressing himself over acoustic guitar. I absolutely admire this and it inspires me to try and express myself in a similar way. The music faded into the background at times, but only because of the thought that it provoked. The album is short and sweet, so ill have no problem coming back again and again to get all the little details. Father and son hit me hard as a man who just completed his third decade on this earth, and who is struggling with deciding to bring another life into it. Overall, the album left me a sense of peace and calm in an unpredictable world, and I deeply appreciate it. 5/5
