Al Stewart - Modern Times (1975)

Al Stewart - Modern Times

  "Modern Times" is a progressive folk rock album produced by Alan Parsons and is one of my personal favourites from him!  It was on this album that I think Stewart really hit his stride musically and you can hear the dawning of "Year of the cat" right in the side view mirror!

This album was also Al's first entry into the Top 40 charts of album sales in 1975 marking a change for his fame.   Pink Floyd's second guitarist Tim Renwick also adds his electronic guitar wizardry to give a less folk vibe to this album.

 Cover art by Hipgnosis and production by Alan Parsons with Floyd's tour guitarist...omg how can u go wrong.....

......a beautiful album and another milestone LP IMHO from the 70's.
