For the most part, it is still quite relevant. It’s of its time in much of its scope, production sound (by Alan Parsons) and ambition. The music at its mildest a kind of soft rock by way of John Lennon, where more fluid and atmospheric in its arrangements bridging the Canterbury side of progressive rock with the more wistful contemplations of say Leo Sayer. Often, he weaves facts and impressions of times gone by with the more personal aspects of his own life, as quiet and thoughtfully introspective as they might be.
TIMEPASSAGES LYRICS FULL
Stewart’s penchant for historic narrative is given full measure across the length and breadth of the main album. It opens up in wide gatefold manner, bearing not only the original album’s cover artworks, but the aforementioned booklet featuring photos and interview on the one outer packet sleeve and a facsimile of a promotional poster of the time on the other.ĬD 1 features a remastered version of Time Passages, CD2 single versions, demos and tracks from a live radio show in Chicago. There’s a 3CD/DVD Deluxe Edition Box set available, but the 2CD version I have for review is more than adequate for those of us less familiar with Stewart’s work. Still active to this day, long-term fans obviously faithful but for such collections as this to come along assumes a growing interest from new listeners for his back catalogue.
TIMEPASSAGES LYRICS SERIES
Did fashion demand punk give way to new wave so quickly and we forget all that had gone before? Not in the USA it seems, where Al Stewart continued to have a series of hit singles for a while. That Time Passages, first released in 1978, was a platinum album, proves quite shocker. A different story from the mythos the likes of the late John Martyn would have us know. While born up north, when a child his widowed mother moved to Dorset, and one gathers he was later privately educated. The extensive booklet that comes with this collection explains that and many other matters concerning the man’s career. See the padlock symbol shown by most browsers when you checkout.Should you not have been a fan, aside from the evergreen ‘Year of the Cat single’, what might you know of the troubadour Al Stewart ? That he made his bones, at the now famous Les Cousins Folk Club back itself in the sixties? That he was born in Glasgow, Scotland? That last one always threw me with his precise diction being so English in its mannerisms.
