Yusuf / Cat Stevens: Influences

Yusuf / Cat Stevens: Influences

The acoustic earthiness and soft vocals of Cat Stevens have roots in other quiet achievers who spoke volumes. His folk-based musical palette incorporates the intricate fingerpicked guitars, intimate delivery, and heart-on-sleeve lyrics of Joni Mitchell and Ralph McTell. When he ventures further into pop, you can hear the off-kilter lilt of The Kinks and the lush trippiness of The Moody Blues.
