Personnel: Cat Stevens (vocals, electric guitar, guitar, Spanish guitar, keyboards, synthesizers, bass); The McCrarys, Luther Vandross (vocals); Alun Davies (spoken vocals, acoustic guitar); Eric Johnson (electric guitar); Brian Cole (steel guitar); John Marson (harp); Graham Smith (harmonica); Don Weller (saxophone); Jean Roussel (piano, Hammond B-3 organ, keyboards); Bruce Lynch, Will Lee (bass); Dave Mattacks, Steve Jordon (drums); Gerry Conway (drums, congas); Paul Samwell-Smith (background vocals). Producers: Paul Samwill-Smith, Cat Stevens. Reissue producer: Bill Levenson. Engineers include: Declan O'Doherty, Nick Blagona, Freddy Hansson. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Cat Stevens' final album as a pop performer (before his conversion to Islam and subsequent rejection of most of the wicked ways of the material world) is something of a return to his early '70s form. It reunites him with TEA FOR THE TILLERMAN producer Paul Samwell-Smith, and like that early classic it's gorgeously arranged, with discreet strings and a terrific command of dynamics (as in the whisper-to-a-scream "Randy"). Other highlights include the uncharacteristic "Bad Brakes," a blues-rocker that sounds like Phil Collins fronting Bad Company, the classically influenced instrumental "the Artist," and "Just Another Night," a folkie rejection song that most explicitly harkens back to Steven's classic period.

商品の紹介

彼の歌は、現代社会においても昔以上の輝きを放ち続ける…。60年代後半から70年代にかけて、その素晴らしいメロディ・センスと温かい歌声で世界を魅了してきた、現ユスフ・イスラム/元キャット・スティーヴンス。人気絶頂の78年に突如シーンから姿を消すことを決意した彼が、ファンへ別れを告げるべく発表した作品『BACK TO EARTH』が、最新リマスター音源となって現代に蘇る!

In retrospect, it is not hard to find hints of a coming change in the final album Cat Stevens made before a near-death experience and a religious conversion. "I must be heading for a breakdown," he notes in "Bad Brakes," the album's sole singles-chart entry; there are songs titles like "Last Love Song" and "Never"; and there is, throughout, an elegiac tone to the mostly quiet ballads. But it is just as easy to see Back to Earth as an intended return to the simple style of albums like Tea for the Tillerman and thus a return to form: producer Paul Samwell-Smith is back on board, along with his subdued arrangements, and Stevens is again investigating his favorite themes, including children ("Daytime"), the father-son relationship ("Father"), and the vulnerable nature of romantic love, in plain-spoken verses. The year 1978 was late for a sensitive singer/songwriter to make a comeback; most of the folkies were getting tossed off the major labels by then. So, it's doubtful that Back to Earth could have re-established Cat Stevens even if he had been willing and able to promote it. As it is, the album serves as a satisfying coda to his pop career. ~ William Ruhlmann|
