Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following closely on the massive success of 'Tea for the Tillerman', Cat Stevens delivered another flawless, incredibly successful collection of intimate acoustic pop. 'Teaser and the Firecat' is beautifully soft and fiercely melodic, matching wonderfully uplifting, highly sentimental folk-rock arrangements with his deeply poetic, remarkably introspective spiritual seeking.
