  1. Oo! Good choice. I’ve often thought it was a crying shame that “Year of the Cat” was such an over-the-top hit, because it served to obscure Stewart’s excellent lyrical skills.

    I particularly like “Flying Secrets” from the YotC album.

  2. Al may be one of the greater poets of our time- I’m particularly fond of “on the border”

  3. From Modern Times. I wore his Greatest Hits album out in college. Lord Grenville was my favorite. Excellent taste, Fran !

  4. I love Al Stewart. smile Something of a surprise for me was Ritchie Blackmore’s more recent efforts. Not half bad at all.

  6. Roger Kimball has written two excellent books, “Art’s Prospect” and “The Rape of the Masters” which covers in detail the ludicrous nature of criticism in the art world which drives this garbage. He rightfully spanks them all. Entertaining and disgusting at the same time.
