Triumph, last week, on the stage of the Glastonbury festival, acclaimed for its 17ebrand new album: here is the great troubadour at the top again, under the double name of Yusuf/Cat Stevens. It’s all deserved a hundredfold: the 21 titles of the show recalled the exquisite beauty of an exemplary repertoire, served by this voice that time has hardly worn away. In the lot interfered Here Comes the Sun (to say thank you to Dhani and Olivia Harrison for welcoming him to the late George’s record company) and three of the great news from King of a Land :Take the World Apart, Highness And Pagan Run. songs of fervor Peace Train (Train on a Hill is almost a sequel), nursery rhymes Tea for the Tillerman (especially the title song), we find the Cat on its paws. Inspired melodies, appropriate arrangements, everything is tender and gentle, acoustic guitar and baroque orchestra as the preferred vehicle. May he come sing it to us here.
