The most important distinction is the manufacturing worth; Yusuf/Stevens trades in stripped-down, sparse preparations for fleshed-out, polished studio instrumentations. In consequence, some tracks are majestic just like the plaintive album opener “Train on a Hill” and stirring title observe “King of a Land.”
Goofy rockin’ tunes like “Pagan Run” and “All Nights, All Days” appear out of character for the delicate, critical star however are a welcome respite.
All that being mentioned, the plain highlights listed below are the 2 ditties that sound most like one thing Yusuf/Stevens would have recorded in 1971.
