Released in the mid-'70s, the album weaves vivid stories, historical imagery, and romantic wanderlust into elegantly crafted songs, carried by Stewart's distinctive, conversational vocals. Anchored by the iconic title track and the reflective \"On the Border,\" Year of the Cat pairs acoustic textures with smooth production and subtle jazz flourishes, creating a timeless, late-night listening experience. Thoughtful, sophisticated, and endlessly replayable, it's a cornerstone of '70s singer-songwriter music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLord Grenville\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the Border\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidas Shadow\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSand in Your Shoes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf It Doesn't Come Naturally, Leave It\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlying Sorcery\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadway Hotel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Stage Before\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear of the Cat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Year Of The Cat (Rhino Reserve)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43493533155417,"sku":null,"price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1566\/5093\/files\/RHILP80468__45758.jpg?v=1783094059","url":"https:\/\/www.yellowdogdiscs.com\/products\/al-stewart-18","provider":"Yellow Dog Discs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
