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... |
