Description
Folk-rock legend Al Stewart, known for his impeccable lyrics and massive 1970's radio hits "Year of the Cat" and "Time Passages,' caught live with Chicago blues rock band The Empty Pockets and long-time collaborator, guitar virtuoso Peter White. Presented on two discs, this live album captures all the energy and brilliance of Stewart's songs.
Over the course of a decade touring together, the unlikely and yet magical combination of guitarist Al Stewart and the blues rock band The Empty Pockets has evolved into a magical, musical collaboration that has left fans all over the world standing, applauding, and demanding more.
Al Stewart came to stardom as part of the legendary British folk revival in the sixties and seventies and developed the combination of folk-rock songs with delicately woven tales of the great characters and events from history. He is best known for his hits Year of the Cat from the platinum album of the same name, and the platinum follow up album 'Time Passages'. He played at the first ever Glastonbury Festival in 1970 and worked with Yoko Ono pre-Lennon. The Scottish-born singer-song writer has released nineteen introspective and lyrically powerful records featuring brilliant backing musicians, including Jimmy Page, Phil Collins, and Richard Thompson, among others.
