This period was magical for Al Stewart, everything fell into his lap. The period, the music, the sound, the guitar work and, his voice was the best. Guess you could say he was riding the British invasion wave. Always thought he played a twelve string though.
This song has stuck in my head since I first heard it in 1977. I spent over an hour trying to find it on Utube because I got the title mixed up with some of the words. On the border became on the water. LOL
I was born is 65 and have never seen you face before ! ......... Wow at the time soooooooo young. Me to. At ancient 46 my face aint so young but enjoy your song just as much- thanks x
I think after "On the Border" as the best track on the Year of the Cat Album, a very close second would be "Broadway Hotel" because of the mood of a romantic tryst so evocatively created, as in a memory.
@ekpp60 Year of the Cat is a uniquely marvellous track. Please see my comments regarding Broadway Hotel..... on second thoughts, I'll give Year of the Cat and Broadway Hotel an equal rating, each being exceptional in its own way.
this seems like a new release to me - I,m Old - Times about Up : ] QC

That 'young kid' is still playing today, he's an English guy called Peter White, google him he has a website.
Check out Al Stewart with Dave Nachmanoff - On the Border for a different slant
That stuff stills sounds good today, check out Al doing the song with Dave
