The Laughing Apple celebrates some of his earliest material, presenting the songs as he has always wished they had been recorded. There are some I always wanted to hear differently, he explains. Many of my earlier recordings were overcooked with big band arrangements. They crowded the song out a lot of times. Yusuf produced The Laughing Apple with Paul Samwell-Smith, the original producer behind his landmark recordings, including 1970’s Tea For The Tillerman, which contained the classics ‘Wild World’ and ‘Father And Son’.

TITLE added to MP3 cart. Play any song, ad-free. If you liked the sound of old Cat Stevens albums you will be as glad as I was to hear this new album. So what if he calls himself Yusef now, the beautiful music has returned. The previous albums under his newer name seemed tepid and thin by comparison. This cd, though only 33 minutes long is chock full of 10 interesting, beautiful songs. It's well worth your time.
