Im really enjoying Cat Stevens latest album. Check out what he did with this! He totally rocks this! No wonder: Tell Em Im Gone, produced by Yusuf with help from Rick Rubin, is hardly a straight-up homage or autopilot nostalgia exercise. Its originals sometimes draw on song forms common in folk and bluegrass, and its narratives are laced with characteristically sharp observations about faith, spirituality and the mysterious guises of truth. Meanwhile, You Are My Sunshine and the other covers — many built around the crisp backing of Tinariwen, the band of Tuareg desert-wanderers based in Mali — manage a rare trick, infusing the overused cadences of the blues with a sense of higher purpose and pronounced spiritual seeking. https://youtube/watch?v=Jh5Ud6lT7EY
