About this album
Year of the Cat is Al Stewart’s breakthrough soft rock statement, the release that brought his literate songwriting to a much wider audience. Issued in 1976, it pairs sharp observational detail with polished pop-rock arrangements, led by the title track, one of Stewart’s best-known songs. The album’s blend of historical references, romantic unease and melodic precision made it a standout of the mid-1970s singer-songwriter era. Elsewhere, songs such as On the Border and Lord Grenville show his knack for turning narrative detail into memorable, radio-friendly music, helping establish Stewart as a distinctive voice in British rock.
