I hope 2024 is the Year of the Cat. But w/ the expanded football playoff, James Franklin will manage to go 9-3 instead of 10-2 this year.

Every year is the Year of the Cat at my house.

Just ask Daisy, who rules the house and Blackie the handsome feral who comes for dinner every night.

Anyway, greet song. Thanks.

Definitely don’t like. Can’t really explain except that it grates, almost like finger nails on a chalkboard.

I hate this song.

It is one of the few “I’m changing the channel” songs on XM Yacht Rock.

Mrs DB loves this song, so I often have to suffer through it.

" Al Stewart - Year of the Cat (remastered)"

It makes me laugh all the clowns who think they can do a better job of mixing than the professional sound engineer the artist himself hired to do it in the first place.

2023 was actually the Year of the Cat. ‘24 is the Year of the Dragon.

I like the song. I was born in the Year of the Cat.

Terrific tune. I've always loved it.

As the story goes, Stewart languished as a minor act for years until he happened to room with Paul Simon during a tour in England and Simon gave him some tips on how to write a hit song. Right after this, Stewart struck it big with this tune. He also has joked that this one song (sales and royalties) has kept him financially secure all these years.

One of my favorites, and Al Stewart is one of my all-time favorite singers.

It is an absolute masterpiece. So is Time Passages, and several others Al Stewart wrote. I literally do not think highly of those who can not appreciate this song.

Time Passages is better.

Absolutely! One of the best. Saw Al Stewart at a college concert in 1977. I’ve always loved his music. Year of the Cat? Best part is when that sax comes in.

It is one of the most incredible songs ever written.
The guitar solo is simple and elegant, and the lyrics are storytelling at its best.

Thank you for posting this.
