Every song matters, every song is excellent..his best ever!! July 24, 2005

I got this cd when it was first released because of "Morning has broken", one of the most beatiful songs and a big hit many years ago. But, to my taste, "How can i tell you" is the best SONG here. It is beatifully played, very delicate and moving singing by Cat Stevens. It is a song, that should be a classic and if someday a singer with good taste can redone it, i hope could be a smash, so the entire world can hear this song. Also great ones are "Changes" (a song that has been covered by other artists), and of course Moonshadow and Peace Train.
"Teaser and the Firecat" finds Cat Stevens at the high of his artistic powers and inspiration. Alun Davies was Cat Stevens guitar player and also his musical partner (but he never got credited). He died many years ago, and he recorded a couple of solo albums that are still waiting for release. Very sad.

Although I respect fully Yusuf Islam just the way he is now, I can't get over the fact that CAT STEVENS recorded this album. Ok, it was many years ago, but it is one of the greatest. There is no escaping the fact that this man recorded this album. He can call himself whatever he chooses...the spirit is still there, whatever he chooses to call himself.
This is a fantastic album.
Enjoy it, with every space of your soul.

Its rare that these days, artists write music from the heart and soul. Usually todays musicians write music that fits a pre-set formula(which usuallu involves a hip-hop beat) to get played on MTV. This record was recorded back in the seventies when music was honest and natural. Sort of like Chocolate Chip Cookies. The Wind while short in length, delivers a good message about lsitening to your true voice. If I Laugh deals with human emotions and dreams. Morning Has Broken paints such a beautiful picture of life complimented by gorgeous piano runs. I could go on and on but this is a nice recording that will make you think about life in simple ways that are not often thought about in this hectic world that we live in.
whole wheat flour and carob chip cookies September 24, 1999

This album came out when I was five and it never left my older sisters' (and parents) turntable. I just bought it and its not leaving mine. Its a complete flashback to those awfull carob and whole wheat chocolate chip cookies of the early 70's, I'm in heaven. Oh and if your into the whole Elephant 6 / Neutral Milk Hotel scene, forget about the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds as an influence, this is it!
If you don't have this one, get it. July 31, 1999
I personally will never understand why "If I Laugh" was not more popular than it was. Must've struck a chord with me as a teen, I guess! All in all a fantastic album.
