Hi Novim! It's a tough act to follow and Yusuf is a brave man for following his 50 year old self. The album's high points are, imho; But I Might Die Tonight, love the Indian arrangement and shades of George Harrison and Indian Ocean; Where Do The Children Play is a real blast on my hi fi, having only heard on my miniscule lap top speakers before. Generally, the album's production by original Paul Samwell-Smith is beautiful. Yardbirds never fail! Father And Son's duet with Cat Jnr is very emotional and clever; Wild World...as I said, a brave man to follow his 22 year old self! One disappointment was the title track, I was hoping for something special but it just peters out. I wanted the Edwin Hawkins Singers or similar on that one. It would be great to hear some other reviews on here. I miss the days when this site was buzzing. Keep rocking Cat/Yusuf fans!

Hope you liked TFTT2. Personally I found that the wheel didn't need reinventing as I loved the original so much! However, I'm sure many will love it! The new deluxe box sets of MBJ and TFTT are really lovely!
Happy New Year to all Majicatters!!!
