Kicking off A&M's ambitious Cat Stevens reissue program is this 20-song introduction. The set surveys all of Stevens's stages, from the orchestrated late-1960s sides through his early-'70s peak to his more eclectic late-1970s experiments. Following the progression makes for an interesting endeavor as Stevens learns to harness his ambitious ideas with arrangements that don't obscure his rhapsodic messages. Few artists of his generation were more gifted when it came to plucking timeless melodies out of thin air, and his sumptuous voice was always able to movingly convey his bittersweet lyrics. As a career overview (including one previously unreleased cut) this set achieves its goal, hitting all of the chart successes along the way and basically defining his role as a sensitive '70s singer-songwriter, but some fans may opt for the classic early-'70s studio records, which find Stevens at his most consistently touching. --Marc Greilsamer

I was struck, however, how even today I am still captivated by Cat Stevens' wonderful lyrics and his characteristic "broken" voice. Songs like "Oh very young", "Father and Son", "Wild World" and "Peace Train", to name just a few, still seem to be relevant some 25, 30 years later.
Cat Stevens the person may have moved on to different endeavours - Cat Stevens the singer & songwriter has immortalized himself for an entire generation of young people, and this CD testifies to it wonderfully.
All the music here is wonderful, and I can listen to the album without missing a lovely beat, from "The Wind" to "The First Cut Is The Deepest" to the magical and breath-taking "Peace Train". My own personal favorites are "Oh Very Young" with its simply stated intimacies and crisp musicianship, the soft yet soaring "Morning Has Broken", a song I have never heard a harsh word against, and of course, "Moonshadow", another in a series of similar unforgettable Cat Steven's catchy musical confections. I also love "Hardheaded Woman", "Wild World', and the very early and incredibly somber rendition of "Lady D'Arbanville". There is simply no getting around how uniquely talented he was. This terrific greatest hits album is a reminder that sometimes art rises above the level of its all too human creator. Enjoy!
