Déjà Vu again

If you were in the early '70s, you almost certainly had one or more Cat Stevens records. Yes, sonny, they were records - vinyl - back in the day. And we liked it.  

Near the end of that decade, Steven Demedre Georgiou decided he'd had enough of the hedonistic, folk-rockstar, free chicks lifestyle, and - having sampled several of the world religions and philosophies - landed as a follower of Mohammed. For the next quarter century, little was heard from him.

Finally, after we had made it through Y2K, he re-emerged. And in 2020, he released Tea for the Tillerman 2, a 're-imagining' of his fourth studio album from 50 years earlier.
