I have been listening to Cat Steves since I was 12 (I'm 62 now). I have always enjoyed his music and he has gotten me through many troubled times. With that said, I do prefer the original song recordings.

His greatest work revisited through a softer and older lens. While I will always enjoy the original work the best, this is an excellent reinterpretation.

I don't see (or hear) the point in this. It's an absolute mess. My advice is: skip it.

Just move along .. those of use who enjoy Yusef enjoy the new release . The ones who don’t, just move along we don’t need your negativity

His voice is as beautiful as ever. I’m so grateful for this record that echoed through my childhood and so glad he’s singing again. Welcome, Yusuf.

What a joke. complete waste of time and money. my one star is really no star.

The original abum was part of the soundtrack of my life. To hear him revisit this album after 50 years is an absolute delight! Thanks Yusuf.

I find it refreshing to hear Yusuf reinterpret what is one of my favorite albums of all time. Chances are, if you’re not familiar with the original, and you like this kind of music, you will likely love this. I suspect he might also get more money from this reinterpretation. He and his old record label only know what kind of deal is in place regarding ownership of the original recording. In summary, buy the original because it’s awesome, but buy this one too because it too is awesome and the originator probably gets paid more for it and that is just.

I’m adding a star for the sake of the source material, but this is really just a pointless rehash of a great album. The new arrangements are rather bland, overall, and carry none of the magic of the originals. A vain attempt to line the pockets of the former Mr Stevens.

Unlike the hateful commenters on here, Yusuf is an artist, and he can do as he pleases with his own creations. The newly re-recorded versions 50 years have a poignancy compared to the originals, particularly “Father and Son.” Joni Mitchell did the same on her 2002 album “Travelogue,” and there were no complaints then. Islamophobia?
