Tea for the Tillerman

Paul Samwell-Smith producing, Cat Stevens at full voice and full pen. 'Wild World', 'Father and Son', 'Hard Headed Woman', 'Where Do the Children Play' — a record about leaving home and not quite being able to, written by a 22-year-old who meant every word. The singer-songwriter document that sits directly between Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell without sounding like either.
