    Al Stewart is a master story-teller. A bard. And, the smoothest voice.............his breaks and transitions are just mind-boggling. The sax solos are what we old folks call, "nassssssty sax." LOVE to see you fellows in appreciation of this magical music................it kind of chokes me up a bit because we don't have "MUSIC" anymore. We're digital. We're just words without soul. So, bless your hearts and thank you for appreciating all of this.

    The power of great music is awesome. A little story. I heard Al Stewart when I was around 13. At the time my English was very, very limited. But the music and his voice were so perfectly matched I was hooked. 47 years later whenever I hear his music, I'm transported to my youth and I can feel exactly how I felt when listening his music for the first time but with more gusto since now I can understand the lyrics and boy, it's amazing. Great arrangement, great voice and great lyrics. Complete package. Year of the Cat, Time Passages, Song on the Radio, On the border, all great and timeless songs. Great reaction guys.

    As fascinating and enchanting as Al Stewart's music is, it's equally enchanting...and downright joyous...watching the three of you react to it. I revisit those reactions a lot. Thank you for the time and effort you put in, in order to make this such a diverse, honest, informative, fun/playful channel for fellow music lovers. And sometimes--if we viewers are lucky--the "extras" include stellar stank faces and syncronized head-bobbing. Nick, Ryan, and Ty, you definitely are Gold List.

    Increible ver a esta generación disfrutar de la música de Al. Su música es como los cuadros de Van Gogh, nadie los compró en su época...anda ahora a comprarlos...Bien amigos, aquí va mi comentario musical del tema: Al canta y los instrumentos...le responden...genial. Es impresionante ese diálogo donde sobresale el saxofón aunque guitarra y teclado hacen también su parte. Me llama la atención que esta es una de las poquísimas canciones donde se mezcla el tema en sí, y en la parte final viene un karaoke que refuerza su vitalidad , lo que demuestra no solo la calidad poética de la letra, sino también las figuras musicales que emplea Alastair. En definitiva, los tres amigos que disfrutan de SONG ON THE RADIO, tienen poderosísimas razones para haber internalizado a este magnífico cantautor y músico escocés. Felicitaciones amigos por su excelente reacción.

    Great reaction guys. Al Stewart has been around for a long, long time. Stille here fortunately. Al is a storyteller and has great lyrics all over. His band is top notch to and because of that you only can enjoy the smoothness in the songs. And you do my friends. Keep going. Greetz from the Netherlands.

    "On The Border" The Spanish guitar is just heaven on Earth. In all sincerity, I thought no one could be a bigger Al Stewart geek than me... I stand corrected. Your reactions are like an extra Christmas present. Happy New Year! If you can only see Al in Pennsylvania, ... Drive to Pennsylvania and see Al! I live there. I've seen Al live from the front row. It was incredible. Another song to check out is "Valentina Way"from "Time Passages".

    Al Stewart's albums were on Arista Records. They asked him to write a mid-tempo ballad with a saxophone. They wanted a song that could be played on the radio. So...kinda poking fun at them, he titled the first track on the album "Song on the Radio".

    "On The Border" - like everybody is saying - IS a must. (The guitars may burst Nick's brain)
    Beyond that also try "Nostradamus", "Lord Grenville" or "Roads to Moscow"

    • @lovedc4ever678
      @lovedc4ever678 2 года назад +12

      Oh yes! "On The Border" is just so freaking awesome and "Roads to Moscow" . No compare to that one.

    • @carlpeterkirkebo2036
      @carlpeterkirkebo2036 2 года назад +7

      "On the Border" I agree is a must. "Roads to Moscow" is also a great (fantastic) song. In addition I would recommend "Life In Dark Water" in addition to the ones already mentioned.

    • @Trecathlus
      @Trecathlus 2 года назад +4

      "Lord Grenville" may just contain the most beautiful and perfectly melancholic guitar solo Tim Renwick ever committed to tape.

    It is great that Al Stewart gets recognition for his talent and various interviews indicate how humble he is about his achievements. Other songs that are worth a mention is Paul Weller - You Do Something To Me, Mountain's song 'Nantucket Sleighride', Thin Lizzy - 'Johnny the fox meets Jimmy the weed'.

    Funny, Al Stewart didn't want to have the sax in his music. Alan Parsons from the Alan Parsons Project produced this and wanted it in there for Year of the Cat. Then he kept it for the album.

    I laughed when you were talking about an Al Stewart concert (I've seen him twice in concert) not wanting an opening act. I went to a Crosby Stills Nash and Young concert in the mid 70's and the opening act was Jesse Colin Young. We were so excited to see CSNY that we were yelling to get Jesse Colin Young off the stage. LOL. It turned out to be the best concert I've ever been to. They played for 4 hours.

    I remember being in a bar in Tucson, AZ, in about 1990. I chose this song on the juke box and when it came on the bartender said, “Thanks for playing that song - I haven’t heard it in a long time.” This song never gets old and it is better than 99.999% of what passes for popular music today.

  • @andylinton2798
    @andylinton2798 Год назад +6

    I saw him live about 6 years ago, in Cork, Ireland. An old guy came out o stage, I thought "oh dear this is not gonna be good". But you know what? He was astounding! Voice the same, funny, engaging guy! And the songs - oh man. Even the ones I didn't know. He does do 'evocative' very well, but you guys need to listen to One Stage Before, from the Year of the Cat album. THAT'S evocative!

    Al is Hemingway and Voltaire meets Beethoven with a sax lead. Brilliantly ahead of his time. He seemed swallowed up by all the great artists of the time but like you, I found him as a young man and loved and understood the lyrical painting and musical mastery. So happy years later to find younger people see exactly what I saw many years back. So refreshing and keep doing what you are doing!!

  • @lokisan100
    @lokisan100 2 года назад +7

    I have to come back here and watch the reaction, it's as great as hearing the song, because you are discovering something I have known for years, it's just refreshing, you keep the music alive by doing this. Al Stewart saved my life after work on many occasions, just escaping into the music, allowing me to unwind, and return to homeostasis. Love you guys and Al Stewart!

    Al here, Al Chamberlin, hahaha. This song really is a double dose, if you really get into the lyrics and the instrumental, especially the saxophone.

    All these songs of Al Stewart's bring back memories of a teenage me in Australia, just loving his music. We had the privilege of hearing the most wonderful tunes in the 70's. Al speaks exactly the way he sings. I love the stories he tells. The amazingly talented musicians accompanying him complete the songs and deserve just as much credit.

    Sitting back here on the Sunshine Coast Queensland Australia, I stumbled across your you tube channel. Great to see the music of my generation resonate with a whole new younger audience. Definately recommend you listen to 2 tracks of AL Stewart's Record " Modern Times " . Firstly the title track Modern Times & finally a track I'm surprised no one has mentioned " The Dark n Rolling Sea" . Both are rippers ! "Don't let the music die inside you & keep up the great work"

  • @williamchaffin8937

    Listening to Al's music is like eating a chocolate chip cookie right out of the oven. Thanks for giving us this great music.
