Cat Stevens was a cultural force in the 1970s, and anybody growing up around that time was fed a steady diet of Stevens hits. This box set--Stevens's first--aspires to be the definitive Cat Stevens collection, and for the most part it is, covering his career highlights ("Peace Train," "Moonshadow," "Wild World," and "If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out," among many others) over four discs.

While Stevens's simplistic imagery, tailor made for sing-alongs around a camp fire, may not have aged particularly well, his knack for a catchy melody and indelible lyrical conceit are hard to deny. There is a restless longing and pained soul-searching at the heart of even his most popular work, and the collection's sequencing and the titles of each disc-- "The Search," "The Hurt"--reflect this intensity, as does his Stevens's eventual conversion to Islam.

Note: The one glaring oversight here is the omission of "Trouble," one of the Cat man's best songs and the aural centerpiece of his stellar soundtrack for the 1972 movie HAROLD AND MAUDE. It's an essential tune for Stevens fans both old and new.
