About this album

24 Carrots is one of Al Stewart’s most polished late-era statements, balancing literate storytelling with clean, radio-ready pop-rock. Issued in 1980, the album extends the style that made Stewart stand out in the singer-songwriter boom, pairing sharp observational writing with melodic, understated arrangements. Tracks such as Running Man, Midnight Rocks and Murmansk Run / Ellis Island show his gift for folding history, character sketches and dry wit into songs that stay accessible on first listen. With its crisp production and careful pacing, the record helped cement Stewart’s reputation as a craftsman of intelligent, hook-driven rock.
