Yusuf / Cat Stevens Talks About His New Album, "The Laughing Apple"

Yusuf / Cat Stevens is one of the most influential singer-songwriters of all time. His new album, "The Laughing Apple," bridges the artist's present and past, combining newly written songs with covers of tracks from his early repertoire. The album follows the common ‘60s template of combining newly-written songs with a number of covers and celebrates some of Stevens earliest material, presenting the songs as he has always wished they had been recorded. "The Laughing Apple" takes listeners to that little garden where the Tillerman sat under the tree, with a charming new illustration by Stevens.
