Al Stewart’s voice made Barry Manilow sound like a basso profundo.

Faggy, lisping, and girly. Yuk.

One of my very favorite songs. Sit back, close your eyes and turn it up to truly appreciate the layering of sounds in this song.

Love that!

My cousin gave me that album back in the day and I still have it.

My favorite solo male singer ... I have every one of his albums.

I read somewhere that Al Stewart said if this song didn’t become a hit, then he just cannot write one.

I stumbled into a Fells Point bar in Baltimore during the summer of ‘92 and Stewart was just starting his first set. Couldn’t have been more than 100 people in the joint. Stewart was joined by a bass player and some guy on piano. One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. He played 90 minutes and covered all his best stuff. Don’t remember what caused me to enter that particular bar right then, but I am sure glad I did.

Love Al Stewart - one of the great voices of popular music.

I especially liked his historical stuff - like “Lord Grenville”, but “Year of the Cat” and “Time Passages” are classics.
