YUSUF ISLAM Roadsinger [To Warm You Through The Night] (2009
UK Limited Edition 2-disc [CD/DVD] set - With his reintroduction to the
pop world behind him, renowned singer-songwriter Yusuf [the artist
formerly known as Cat Stevens] is ready toonce again strike up an
intimate relationship with his audience. The 11-track CD album was
co-produced with Martin Terefe [James Morrison, Jason Mraz, Martha
Wainwright], and features guest appearances from James Morrison,
Michelle Branch andHollyWilliams [granddaughter of Hank Williams,
Sr.]. 'I was absent from my audience
for so long,' says Yusuf 'people thought another album would never come.
The 2006 album, 'An Other Cup', was a surprise. With this new album,
the distance is much less. I'm back to doing what I do best - painting
pictures with music and storytelling on a very human, personal,
intuitive level through lyrics and song, so I can help people feel good
again. I guess in some ways the new album picks up where the Cat
Stevens the public knows left off.'. Comes complete with
a Bonus DVD including 'Boots And Sand' music video,
'Peacetrain Blues' [audio with image slideshow], A conversation with
Yusuf and Alun Davies, and the Roadsinger Van Makeover; within a
