Catch Bull At Four

Cat Stevens' Catch Bull At Four from 1972 pairs his warm, conversational vocals with acoustic guitar arrangements that flow between gentle folk melodies and more structured pop-rock songs. The album captures Stevens at his most reflective, weaving together personal storytelling with spiritual questioning over consistently melodic backing.
