Reuniting with producer Paul Samwell-Smith, this 1974 collection kicks off with the bracing \"Music\" and never looks back, managing to be both more adventurous and focused than its predecessor. Though perhaps belied by the preciousness of the hit \"Oh, Very Young,\" there's a muscular determination to songs like \"Sun\/C79\" and \"Ready\" that serves Stevens well. Lyrically, tracks like \"Jesus,\" \"King of Trees,\" and \"Home in the Sky\" give early hints of Stevens's spiritual quest, though delivered through Samwell-Smith's eclectic, if still pop-focused production. Even to jaded ears, the album still sounds fresh in 2000 and may well sound like Cat Stevens's best work. --Jerry McCulley\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 073145468882\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0073145468882\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 2140040\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45972150059042,"sku":"5D-EWJJ-Y0AL","price":23.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/71NFUi8qqUL.jpg?v=1783712387","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/buddha-the-chocolate-box","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
