Reelinâ In The Years 4: Time Passages
Posted in 1970s, Music, Reelin' In The Years at 13:00 on 20 May 2011
Now we’re in the seventies proper.
Al Stewart has one of those distinctive voices. You really couldnât mistake him for anyone else. He almost doesnât sing but more or less speaks instead. (Donât knock it. Johnny Cash made a career out of not singing.)
Time Passages was one of the songs I considered for the title to this category. It was a hit in the US but not the UK. He got a lot of airplay in Britain but not many sales I think. Year Of The Cat was his only hit single over here.
This is a live version, pretty faithful to the record.
