Description: Magical history tours have been Al Stewart's trademark since the early 1970s, when he switched from writing about his own romantic turmoil to a wider view of the world and its rich cast of characters and events. While his 1976 international hit single, "Year of the Cat," was ti... |

Review: A Truly Great Album:I was first introduced to Al Stewart through an early album called "Love Chronicles" which was,at least in my mind,the story of all of his love's from childhood to adulthood.After hearing that,admittedly,hit and miss album,Al put out some music that I never re... |

Review: My Favorite:I think this is my favorite Al Stewart CD. I love the way Stewart's songs manage to capture the feel of a particular historical event or decade. The song about Lindbergh is probably my favorite. From the tempo of the beat you can feel the optimism of the public in ... |

Review: Title Fits My Life with This Recording - Owned in Past; Bought In Present; Will Listen Often in Future:I had an LP of this wonderful album in college back in the '70s. I recorded my favorites onto tape and listened to them in my car for years. I'm amazed that it took me another... |

Description: When this material originally resurfaced in an earlier Rhino-celebrates-the-'70s program, many rock scribes contorted themselves into revisionist pretzels: this isn't so bad, they argued--none too convincingly. There'll be none of that here: much of the music on this colossal box... |

Review: The U.S Release, at Last!:Visted with Al last evening at his first 2004 concert in Southern California, With the support of Lawrence Jubar, Al offered another fine night entertainment. I was a bit disappointed, however, by his selection of tunes that leaned heavily on "Between th... |

Review: 24 Carats:I've followed Al Stewart for over 30 years since my high school days. His distinctive, soothing voice and his storytelling ability are second to none.
I think this is one Al's best albums. True, Midnight Rocks and Candy Came Back are probably more reflective of Peter... |

Review: Only 4 stars because it's not his very best... get it anyway..:A somewhat less than stellar Al album is light-years ahead of just about everybody..
Even though the liner notes say Al doesn't remember much of the recording for this, the relationship fog he was in gave him an extr... |

Review: Orange: Bittersweet Chronicles of free love's detritus...or used peels & broken hearts:Al Stewart is quoted in the liner notes to the CD re-issue of "Orange", that he suffered writer's block for nearly two years after the release of his third album "Zero She Flies" in 1970 an... |

Review: Was it really so long ago?:Ah, the Dr. Strange-in-the-background cover restored at last!
The reference is more than half serious, because that cover sums up the times & tone of this album, especially in the elegiac title track. Quite a few songs from the beginning of the 1970s h... |

Review: Al's Best album:This review will be short and sweet.An outstanding lp!How can it not be?Not only do you have Jimi Page in the Fold,you basically have Fairport Convention as a backing band.They appeared under pseudonyms because of their record contract.

An Underated Al Stewart Album:I'm not sure why this album did not receive the recognition it deserved at the time of its release. The title song is a delight, as are Red Toupee and, one of my all time favorites, Antartica. This is Al near the top of his game. |

Review: Under the Radar:Those of us who have listened as the "unplugged" craze unfolded over the years know how uneven some of those efforts can be. It seems that a lot of rock/pop musicians feel incomplete until they prove to the listening public and maybe also to themselves that they a... |

Review: Not A Bad Debut:Back in the day when I became an Al Stewart fan, I was only vaguely aware that any Stewart recordings preceding Past Present and Future existed. The First Album (Bedsitter Images) is one I didn't even know existed until I saw the listing while putzing around on am... |

Review: The writing is great, the production is a product of its time...:This was Al's first album of all new material since 1980's, 24 Carrots. There were changes. Al had new management, and a new producer. The producer, Mike Flicker, was best known for his work with Heart on their ... |
