WOW!! This song is great!! It is call Editing Floor Blues.
Here you have part of the lyrics:
Editing Floor Blues
I was born in the West End in the summer of ‘48
Above a small café
Some people liked to come there and call it night
But for me it was all day
Oh! Now the dogs keep a-growlin’ round my front door
And the truth hold out from the editing floor
And the little brother saw how the truth
Was buried on the editing floor
A good song he was looking for
And the truth sang out from the editing floor
Just like Socrates
the man from Greece
Fell down on his knees
And the cup spilled out on the editing floor
Big brother took a trip
As bold as he could be
To the place, he heard,
Where the good prophets
Used to walk…
Then the word cameo down
And the little brother saw
How the truth was buried
On the editing floor
Editing Floor Blues begins at 03:22 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04l10jt

The BBC TV interview is not available on iplayer This is the link to the Front Row programme-quite a short affair. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04l10jtIn this programme is a short listen to the song Doors Hm, are you sure? I think that at 03 min :20 sec started short clip of that song, maybe it is "Doors" but maybe it is "Cat And The Dog Trap"?  NOPE! IT'S "Editing Floor Blues" as Ale posted the lyrics. |

Love the Single..he has such a nice smooth grind to his blues......
and the interview was so profound . one of my fave parts of the interview:
"But I think that I've learned that everything can be done in a kind of moderation, and as long as you keep it kind of ethically pure, there's nothing you can't really get involved in. You can explore so much of the material world with a spiritual goal as well."
THAT'S THE MESSAGE XOXOXOXOX PURE JOY AND LOVE OF GOD

XOOX AURARISMA  I so love this song....now that's some serious Blues!! I also think the interview is one of the most heartfelt he's ever given. There is a confidence and serenity in his words, as if " everything" has finally come together!  (I don't think he cares about the haters...too much energy wasted)  I know I don't...'cause you can't fix stupid!  PS Hey Everybody..,I've been gone for a week and just catchin up! Boy, y'all sure do keep it hoppin'!!  Love it!! |

It seems that we found it at more or less the same time, I was just intending to post a link, but you were a little bit faster Yes, I think that this is his best album after he issued Foreigner in 1973., musically more interesting than Buddha (and Buddha was a good album!), and I am aware that maybe not every Cat Stevens's fan will like it, but old Cat Stevens is gone, Yusuf is here... or Yusuf Cat and he is really enjoying in his search for new music, new songs, new ways... I'll have to listen to the whole "Tell 'Em I'm Gone" maybe few times more, but I am giving to "Tell 'Em I'm Gone" 4 1/2 stars already And, yes, Yusuf was very happy to choose Rick Rubin! |

Let's rate the album on Amazon.de There are a few that are critquing it very sloppily.. I just bought it there and wrote a review ..one doesn't have to buy it there, to review and we all have had a listen to it from npr.com ....I bought a few copies on Amazon in America and waiting for those to come in as well.. There are a few reviews but perhaps we can share our ratings too .. If I could give 10 stars I certainly would!! here is the link to Amazon.de Thanks lets form our Yusuf/Cat Stevens Army!!! Loving Army!!!![/font][/b][/font] www.amazon.de/Tell-em-Im-Gone-Yusuf/dp/B00NALHJY6/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1414195043&sr=1-1&keywords=yusuf+cat+stevens+tell+em+im+goneThey just posted my review!

He was born in Uruguay, in the spring of ’14.
He’s my new cat. His name is Yusuf (Sorry, did not know where to post this. I placed it here because of the disc cover)

Has anyone noticed that the photographer who took the photos for the album does not appear in the credits?
I think he is Danny Clinch.
I hope it repaired the error for the next editions of the album. Yusuf and Danny Clinch, the missing photographer.
