Zoo World

[Chris]

Did you read Zoo World?

I couldn't help but smile when I read the part where he called " How Many Times' Cat Stevens' " Killing Me Softly' song. And suggested that Roberta Flack could sing it wonderfully, but yet he wasn't being mean about it.

It was just so nice to read a good review about Foreigner and the Foreigner Suite. Esp when magazines such as Rolling Stone loved to critisize Cats work. It is nice to know there were magazines and critics who gave Cat the credit he deserved on this masterpiece, by calling it the cover album.

I forgot to add that little tidbit on the article, so I am adding it here for you to read.

ZOO WORLD:

Cat Stevens Foreigner : The pick of the albums released in our two week publishing period. The cover album has been chosen each issue by retired members of the U.S. Army Infantry Band. Cat Steven' first production effort is Z.W.'s last cover album.

It's just a little tidbit, but I thought you may find it rewarding to see that Foreigner made it as Zoo Worlds pick for the best album in that 2 week period. :-)

You know, I was pleasantly pleased with Zoo's review. I don't recall ever hearing a positive review of "Foreigner" and I never could understand why. I think it is a work of a genius. Of course, I am a little biased about the artist.

Love,

I agree Aisha, it is Cats MASTERPIECE. Though the only thing I can think of, is perhaps Foreigner is really an album before it's time. If Cat were popular today and wrote this gem today, I bet it would have a completely different reaction to the fans and critics, I remember being awestruck the first time I heard it on ABC in Concert.
