Title: Best work of the most underrated songwriter of the rock era
Review: When asked to name my favorite albums, it's always an eclectic mix -- but this album is always in the top three. Brilliant, brilliant lyrics -- social commentary, history, no love song drivel here -- and melodies. The centerpieces are of course his classics "Roads to Moscow" and "Nostradamus," but "Soho," "Post World War II Blues," and especially "Warren Harding" are marvelously witty and complex -- I never tire of listening to them.Al Stewart is right up there with Lennon/McCartney and Taupin/John as one of the great songwriters of the rock era. Strange as it may sound, I would love to see him write a rock opera.
