“Time rolls on” Yusuf Islam philosophises gently on opening track ‘Welcome
Home’…But what kind of welcome can the previously-reclusive ‘Bitterblue’
inspirator expect in 2009?

The road has been a slow-evolving one for Islam (aka sixties troubadour Cat
Stevens), and time has indeed rolled on past the seventies folk murmours of
classics such as ‘Moonshadow’ and ‘The Wind’. Yet his fans have never
forgotten, despite the name-changes and prolonged periods of silence when
even Cat himself refused to sing.

When Stevens penned his 1970 cult-classic Mona Bone Jakon, who could’ve
predicted that the man who conceived ‘Peace Train’ could provoke the wrath
of post-9/11 paranoia when the converted-Muslim travelled to the US to
record with Dolly Parton in 2004. With this in mind, it is apt that fragile
apprehension and timely lessons learnt swathe Yusuf’s latest musical
contribution Roadsinger and give the material a humble depth that poeticises
a life lived.

If anything, opener ‘Welcome Home’ could almost be the concluding book-end
to 1970’s ‘On The Road To Find Out’ from 1970’s Tea For The Tillerman, or
even the ammendement to ‘I Might Die Tonight’. Yusuf may be “at the end of
my days”, but he still has a story to tell and manages to weave each chapter
endearingly in that familiar “Cat style”. It’s a timely return that is sure to tickle
his loyal followers.

Sure, there is nothing new or shapeshifting here - the piano intro on ‘Be What
You Must’ trickles identically like 1972’s Catch Bull At Four’s fine opener
‘Sitting’, and the mournful string soundscape on ‘The Rain’ could well find itself
alongside 1970’s plucked-oddessy ‘Lilywhite’ – but familiarity seems besides
the point when it comes to Yusuf Islam making the music that shapes his own
life story.

As heartwarming as it is heartfelt, this is one roadsinger who still has
something to say. Welcome home, indeed…
