IN THE NEWS:
Yusuf Islam, the former Cat Stevens, will embark on his first European tour since playing the continent in 1976.
The second pop outing for Yusuf Islam brings him closer to his former self as Cat Stevens while asserting a clearer mission for Yusuf as a 21st century performer. "Roadsinger" is not only the second album from the writer of "Wild World" and "Peace Train" devoid of any Muslim teachings or mentions, it's the work of a man at peace with his place in life and music. It's an honest record, filled with performances that are warm and graceful, an elegant follow-up to his early A&M albums such as "Teaser and the Firecat."
