1. Thank you Mr.Yusuf, Roadsinger is wonderful!! You are the best for me. I can feel good sensations when I listen you. Your voice is as therapy for my soul. I saw you in your concert in Barcelona in 1976 with your heel fractured. Your concert has been aways in my heart. Peace be with you

3. Asalamu alaikum Yusuf. Ever since I was a child, I listened for you on the radio and watched for you on the tv. After you disappeared, I died inside. I became muslin on May 28th of 1995 and found you were a brother in Allah. Alhamdulillah. May Allah be with you always.

4. Hi Yusuf, I went to see Harold and Maude the day my dad died. I was alone and didn't have anything else to take my mind off my sadness. I laughed, cried, and felt better after. I've always loved your music, especially the songs from that movie. Recently, for some reason I don't know why, I picked up the album, Mona Bone Jakon. It was like going back in time and being here at the same time. I passed that album to some dear friends, and they are so happy to hear you again. Many love you and we're so happy you're back connecting with us with your wonderful music. All the best, and please don't leave us again.

6. Masha Allah! Masha Allah, brother Yusuf! I had graown up to my father listening to you and never realized what an impact your music could potentially have on my life until recently! I thank you for opening my eyes once again to my Deen through your music, and views!

7. Yusuf if I may call you that. Your early music was played when I was but young, but as I learnt to appreciate music my collection of your albums grew. I purchased Roadsinger today and listened, what I heard was pure joy. In the title track I saw your journey and felt the confusion and pain in the path that was travelled - the different emotions felt in that song. Thank you for reintroducing me to your music.

I'm only 8 years old, and I already listen to your music, but I don't find a lot of kids my age that listen to your music. Anyway, I listen to all of your albums. And I LOVE them! Adi Zacks

As a young Australian boy (18) I can say I love your music and I love reading about you, the way you come across is just amazing and if you ever tour again please come down to Australia so I can bring my dad along and sit and listen to your songs and words of wisdom, you are truly a great man, Mr Yusuf. Thank you for your music and I thank God for giving the world someone like yourself.

22. These lyrics are among the best he has ever written. Cat/Yusuf has reemerged with a new humility, gentleness, and grace in his countenance, and a new wisdom and radiance in his words. May the Holy Spirit of God continue to bless and protect him, inside and out. Musically, I cannot comment because I am in silence.

24. Dear Yusuf (Cat), welcome back! Thank you so much for this magnific CD! Your words had always inspired me. Thank you for sharing, singing and writing, you have a special gift to touch people's hearts!
    
    I have learned English 'cause of you! 35 years ago, I really wanted to understand your songs so I have translated all of them into French.
    
    Hope one day I will see you in concert. Thank you, Yusuf for being a light in the darkness. For being honest, true, generous, for being YOU! May God bless you and your family "How can I tell you that I love you?" Monique Charbonnier

25. Yusuf/Cat, I can truly say you changed the course of my life at 12 yrs old. This is the one opportunity to thank you for giving me your heartfelt music. My regret is not ever seeing you in concert. Please tour, your lifelong fans beg you. Please!

26. Dear Yusuf, you are a major light in my life at the moment. When I feel low you never fail to lift me up. I am new to your site and I cannot wait to get home and see what is new. I am in the autumn of my years and have loved your music for 40 years.
    
    My son Craig has just seen your concert on TV and I am so happy that he loved it so much. Thank you for Father and Son, Trouble and all your lovely songs that have travelled with me through my life. Glenn.

28. Dear Yusuf - I just listened to your Roadsinger CD and I loved it! It is more like your older stuff. I really like 'All Kinds of Roses', but I appreciate them all. When it was finished, I was disappointed because it was over too soon! I have been a fan since way back and think I have all the albums you have made, plus videos. I am very grateful you are recording again. Peace - Christie

29. What a beautiful album 'roadsinger' is. Yusuf, you never ever disappoint and your voice is still so recognisable as 'Cat Stevens'. All your songs hold very special memories to a great many people and I hope 'roadsinger' is going to attract many new fans as well. I so enjoyed the radio 2 concert which had a lovely mix of 'old' and 'new'. Are you going to embark on a UK tour? I will be one of the first to buy tickets!! KC ruth X

31. Dear Yusuf, ROADSINGER is so beautiful and inspiring. It brings back so many memories of creative writing. It brought tears to my eyes.
    
    I am so happy that you have returned to your true soul's purpose. Perhaps listing to Roadsinger will help heal and bring me back to my soul once again. Tune the strings of that solitary dulcimer sitting in the corner by the door, that so dearly wants for me to sing to it once again. Your song "Welcome Home" was special to me, since the name of one of my songs inspired by you a long time ago was called "Welcome In".
    
    May God's Inspiration, Blessings, Peace and Love surround us all as we view a vision of a new Peaceful and healing world. You are one of the drivers of that Train to Peace. Welcome back. You know that the Cat is said to have 9 lives.... You were perhaps at 4 when you left music....with a few more lives to count on. "Catch Bull at 4". Yes, Miracles do happen. May our dreams be blessed in the light and always be nearer to God's Will.
    
    Peace, Love and God's Light, Thank you Yusuf for coming back to your Songs! Sufi Poet & Mystic, Fatima

32. Like every album Yusuf/Cat has ever recorded, I was never disappointed. Every song has a special place in my heart. Roadsinger, another masterpiece to my collection, beautiful, timeless, and priceless. Definitely warms the heart.
    
    Yusuf, words are not enough to express my feelings of gratitude, for listening to the many voices calling for your return. Never doubt it was the right choice. God bless you, your son for encouraging your return, and all the Yusuf family. VICKI V.G

33. There is little I can add to all the wonderful comments here other than to give you a heartfelt "thank you" for the gift you have given us all with your music.
    
    I just celebrated my 61st birthday today, and can still remember clearly when I was a young activist in the 60's for peace and a saner world. There were times then when it seemed that friends and family considered my views un-American at best. The songs "Peace Train", "Where Do the Children Play?", "Miles From Nowhere", and "Moonshadow" helped give me the strength to keep on in those times (and are still carrying me today).
    
    I just watched your interview with Tavis Smiley, and am delighted to see you are still speaking the courage of your convictions and standing up for peace and understanding. I am equally delighted to hear your return to music. Thank you!

34. Yusuf, I have been listening to your music for more than 35 years... I grew up to the sounds of your voice in our home. My father and I used to sit and sing together at times...
    
    The gift that God gave you for song writing and singing is nothing short of fantastic! Thank you for sharing again. You have been missed, not by adoring fans, but by those who value the beautiful gifts you were given. I have enjoyed your new music, and hope that someday I may see you perform in person.

35. When I was a teenager, I was ready to go to MSG to see you, then puff you were gone. Well I'm extremely pleased you are back making music and beautiful music at that. This last album (I still call them albums) sounds like the Cat Stevens I knew & loved. I'm very glad you found your happiness, which you were always looking for. I have finally found my HIGHER POWER, and am becoming happier one day at a time!

    09 Jun 2009 Jeffrey Fendt Report Comment

36. Mr. Islam, I LOVE Roadsinger! I have the downloaded version with "Boots and Sand" on it, but I want the DVD package now too to give as a gift to someone I know will love it. He used to love your alter-ego, Cat. He will also be thrilled to know you've returned!
    
    I myself have only an old greatest hits tape rescued from Salvation Army many years ago. The entire album is great and I hope it gets a Grammy nomination. "Welcome Home" is very powerful. The song that speaks to me the most, though, is "The Rain". I know it has Biblical references, but it also speaks to these difficult times in our country (USA) when it's so hard to be positive. But the entire album, including "Boots", is on repeat mode on my iPod every day since I bought it.
    
    They just don't make songwriters like you anymore. I'm glad your son found that guitar!

38. Thank you for another wonderful album, Yusuf. I saw you in concert in Oakland, California in the 70's and had a stage hand give you something I had made for you. It was a 5' x 3' banner of the album cover of Teaser and the Firecat. Just wondering if you ever got it. By the way, welcome back, I've missed you.

40. I love the new album - I have been listening to it non stop since it came out and have bought three extra copies to give to loved ones. Every so often something happens to make me feel grateful and lucky to be alive to witness, and this album is one of them. A musician friend once told me as we were discussing your music, good music is a manifestation of truth and it is no more true than for your music.
    
    Thank you for this gift to us - and for returning to your music in this way. I have read some horrible responses to your work from some very anti-Muslim people recently and I pray He gives you strength to go forward and withstand the inevitable criticism. I wholeheartedly agree with you on your website when you say 'you can argue with a philosopher but you can't argue with a good song'.
    
    There's not been much comment on the fact of having a committed, dedicated and sincere practising Muslim producing music for the mainstream music industry... this is truly momentous. May He guide and protect you, and this precious gift that you have.

    04 Jun 2009 Cynthia Report Comment

48. Hello Yusuf, as a fan and admirer of yours for the past 38 years, I want you to know how absolutely terrific your new recording is. 'Roadsinger' has not left its position in my CD tray since I purchased it on the first day of its release, and I can assure you that it shall remain there for quite some time to come!
    
    Here is an indication of how truly cross-generational your appeal is, Yusuf: on the morning I walked into the record store to buy 'Roadsinger', not only was yours the CD that was playing, but the clerk who was playing it (and highly praising it) couldn't have been much past high school age. He went on to tell me that he had been raised listening to your songs and, as am I, was thrilled that you have continued on with making beautiful music.
    
    God bless you, Yusuf, and thank you. Bud Painton

    02 Jun 2009 Bud Report Comment

49. Roadsinger touches my soul and makes my heart dance. My favorite songs are:
    
    "Welcome Home," (Never did I imagine what a dawn could be, ‘til I opened my eyes to see… it was welcoming me!) "Thinking 'Bout You," (It makes me think of my love for my children - Whatever they say - whatever they do – I’ll always love you) "Everytime I Dream," (love the image of that “wild pack of lies”) and "Roadsinger" (... a child’s face peeped out and gave a smile and ran back. Behind a misty glass, on a window pane, a little finger drew a perfect heart and a name). I also love "The Rain" (the driving rhythm reminds me of Noah’s ark plowing under dark clouds through a drenching downpour - I really like the drama) and "World O’ Darkness" (reminds me of "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot).
    
    Thank you, Yusuf, for being a light in the darkness.

54. Thank you so much for coming back to music Yusuf. You are without doubt my favourite artist and the new stuff sounds great. I love the mellow style, which reflects your ethos perfectly, but it would still be good to hear you belt out a couple more tracks, like you used too (think back to Bitterblue, for example), but perhaps next album?!
    
    I saw you at Shepherds Bush last week and you blew me away - I only wish you'd played for longer! I hope that I get to re-live that experience at least once more in my life.

55. As'Salamu Alaikum Brother Yusuf, You embraced Islam 30 years ago and Allah chose you to be a Muslim. I was also chosen to be a Muslim 30 years ago.
    
    I had not listened to music in a very long time, but I heard you had new albums out and wanted to hear your new recordings. It brought back memories of when I was a teenager and enjoyed listening to your songs. Masha-Allah the words to your songs on the Roadsinger are very beautiful and with deep meaning. May Allah bless you for bringing understanding. "In the quietness of our thoughts Allah is so close."

I was a child in the 1970's & have have always dreamed about being at one of your concerts! Your music has gotten me thru many a bad time. The new album is beyond fabulous. Hoping to get to see you soon. Roberta Sanders

57. "Roadsinger" was a purchase made based on the article in NEWSWEEK, and it was a great purchase. I wish there was a bigger book of lyrics, because some of the words would have been reinforced if the lyrics were included. Some of the songs were hooked with old Cat Stevens melodies. The songs are better than expected, somewhat a forward moving throwback. I look forward to his tour.

58. I have loved you since 1973 and still play your songs, but something is missing-passion for your music and the message. I have prayed for you for 30 years and ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you. You are an awesome musician and I hope you keep on singing.

60. Thank you, Yusuf, for your new album. I was wondering how I was going to stretch my budget to purchase it when I entered a local Aussie radio station competition, and of course I had forgotten about my entry when a copy of your cd arrived in the mail yesterday!! I was absolutely over the moon it made my day and I am slowly getting to learn the lyrics.
    
    Please consider coming down to Australia. Lots of artists pass us by when touring so please consider this ageing Aussie fan who still has her treasured first cassette of yours that I purchased with my first pay packet - hmm - many moons ago now! So thank you for reminding me to treasure and value the peace, calmness and joy that your music takes me too. Thank you. Lesley

66. It is too early to tell where Roadsinger sits alongside the Cat Stevens albums, I still need multiple listens for that. There is one thing that hit me right away. And that was the feeling that I had either been transported back to 1978 and time for another Cat Stevens record; or better yet, that Yusuf had not missed a step or a beat bringing his music into the 21st century. A great addition to an amazing musical legacy!

67. Fabulous! Food for thought, music for spirit. My humble request... one or two compositions with a "Peace Train" type of tempo to fill our hearts would complete my wish list - no pressure... Warmest wishes, peace.

68. I love Roadsinger - hard to pick favourites - they're all fabulous!! I'm so glad Yusuf has found a way to embrace his musical talent again, and has the wisdom to bridge his spirituality with the music industry now. Thank God that Yusuf's son took a guitar into their family home and Yusuf picked it up!! It's wonderful to hear the blend of Arab and European music too. I'm so grateful that Yusuf's music is in my life.

69. Yusuf, Thank you for bringing your music back to the world. For the longest time I couldn't understand why you embraced a religion that made you feel you couldn't use your God-given musical and lyrical talents. I am so happy that you've come back around and that you saw the light! ;-D The world is a better place with you and your music. Thank you!

70. On that magical day, when I met you back in 1973, I was 16 and you were in Manny's Music Store. You treated me with sensitivity and warmth, and even sent me your photo as I had wished. You walked out that day and soon afterwards began a journey into a new life. At my graduation the next year, I quoted you, "Why wait until it's your time to die before you learn what you were born to do?" and I understood. Now you've embraced your past self and welcomed him into your future, sharing all the gifts of a life well lived. Thank you, Fran Newman

71. Yusuf, I cannot thank you enough for yet another brilliant album. I have been a lifetime fan of your very individual music. The words of all your songs should be listened to by so many more people in the world so that peace in the world would be easier to achieve. Long may your music continue. Love, peace and happiness.

72. Thanks a lot you are singing and thanks a lot for the different kinds of music you do - thanks for the nasheed, thanks for An Other Cup, Roadsinger. What I really love: There is a message to everyone listening to your songs - no matter, if Muslim, Christian, what ever. Go on singing - to be what you must, just reach out for what you are. A big Salaam from Germany!

73. I listened to you from the time I was 13 or 14. I practiced your songs on guitar and have collected every album - and now CD. I have been a lifetime fan and I would love to see you play a US tour. I have to admit that while I have bought both of your newest CD's, the music doesn't touch me the way the older music does. Of course, you have changed and so have I. Your voice is the same lovely voice that I remember and I will keep listening and wiil hope for the next CD to touch my soul.

74. After listening to your new album a few times I cried a bit because I realised you really started to make your music again. Since I am a big fan for 33 years this is so good. I like This Glass World very much, it's strong and surprises me each time I hear it over and over, as all your music does actually. Thank you so much! To me God is not something men can put into words and therefore I am neither Christian nor Islamic. I see a bridge there too, I can build it. Thank you.

75. As a lifelong devotee I will always avidly look foreward to new Yusuf releases. I have the Roadsinger cd and have listened to it repeatedly, and although the voice is still amazing I can't truthfully say there is one song I truly love. There seems to be some of the old magic missing.

77. I love your new album Roadsinger, it's beautiful music, your music helps heal what's wrong with the world. This album is mellower than the old Cat Stevens albums and I kind of miss the snappy-ness of the old albums but I understand that people change and so do their styles. Please keep making music and performing, I hope to see you in concert here in L.A. or Long Beach one day.

79. When I was young, I found so much love and wisdom in your songs I was heartbroken when you left but I understood. Now I am a born again Christian and you are a gentle and wise Muslim, both having a deep love for our Saviours. Your latest songs run so deep in your love for Allah, you have broken barriers in public opinion of the Muslim religion. Your reward will be great for that. Beautiful songs. I think, aside from 'Peace Train', your best and wisest yet. So, though I would never leave my Jesus, I say Allah be with you. As you say, There is "only one God" and He loves us all! Thank you for being you.

81. I thought AN OTHER CUP was a beautiful album, but I think this latest one, ROADSINGER, is even better. I've immersed myself in it like very few albums in recent memory-- and I LOVE and download music constantly. There is a wisdom and honesty to this music that is timeless. It's so nice to hear music that MEANS something, that reveals, and teaches, and makes you think, and entertains all at the same time. Your work years ago was wonderful, but I think you've gotten better with age, Yusuf. God bless you, and may we continue to hear you sing your song for many years to come.

82. I love your new album. I can remember driving around in Gunnison CO in the winters of 1970-1973 listening to your music with the snow falling and everything white. On nights when it was 20 below zero we would sit around and discuss how your life must be. I am glad you are making music again. My son is a self made guitar player that is highly enfluenced by you (he has a tatoo of "Catch Bull @ 4" on his arm) and writes all his own music. He has your light shining inside, a fire that you have stoked. Thank you for being here for us.

83. "Roadsinger" is a truly beautiful, brilliant album. I love every song, but I guess that "Everytime I Dream" and "Roadsinger" are my favourites. Yusuf, you still have the most beautiful, soulful voice. I'm so glad this is happening for you... and for the world. Peace and Blessings~Pattie

84. Yusuf, I am in awe of your talent and wisdom and not much of the day goes by without the tune of one of your many songs, past and present, going through my mind. I have purchased all your past albums on CD to restore and complete and the newest, Roadsinger is extraordinary. You have always been so inspired and gifted and the Spirit enlightens you like no other I have ever known. Thank You for listening and for writing and sharing this love with us all.

86. Roadsinger is my favorite - but all are wonderful. So many have experienced the things you sing about in Roadsinger - friends who turn their back - people who just don't understand. Wiping tears from our eyes, we continue on - now that you have returned to help steer us with your magical lyrics, and beautiful melodies. Thank you Yusuf - for coming back. You have been SO missed, and your vision is needed now, I think, more than ever. Encourage Yoriyos to speak out - he has talent, and the vision!! Peace and light ~~~~ Nancy

88. My first mix tape was of Cat Stevens' music. That 8-track tape shaped a young heart when his twin had cancer. 'An Other Cup' and now this 'Roadsinger' is that friendly voice Love put in my way as i need now. thankfully... and no 8 track recorder needed. Roadsinger is wonderful start to finish. All kind of roses fills your heart... thanks...

Dear Yusuf, you got your voice from God, you got your songs from your heart, you got the text from your brain, you got your fans from your love which we got, you will get your future from God, your heart, your brain and the love which will come back.

93. He's back! In fact if one has chosen to stay informed he has never left...his life has evolved and now evolved again...his journey continues. Yusuf has been an important part of my life for almost 4 decades. He has made a difference in my life and in the lives of many. His message is true, pure and heaven sent. "To be what you must, You must give up what you are" - On behalf of the many - Thank you for embracing what you are. "Whatever you say, lightens up the burden of the day..." The "Blessed Echo" of our past is part of our daily lives again. Much respect and love. God bless you. ED - NH

94. I am so happy that you have been recording again. I missed you so much. This is a true blessing in my life. I absolutely love your new albums Yusuf. Not just because they are YOU and I am hoping to find something from the past but because the albums are filled with great songwriting, melodies, production values and words of wisdom and love. Thank you for the gifts. Two little discs of treasure of the heart. Dean.

95. Dear Yusuf - my wife and I are thrilled with the new release and have been eagerly awaiting its arrival for months. The CD is the best of both worlds: New works that harken back in style and substance. We truly can't choose favorite tracks as we love each of them and are savoring (savouring) them but, if pushed, "Roadsinger" and "Welcome Home" are awesome and "Shamsia" is unspeakably beautiful and delicate. Your talent is boundless dear sir!
    
    We live in New Hampshire in the U.S.A. If you are ever interested in an intimate venue (260 or less) we've got just the place for you! It has been a distinct pleasure to have been fans of yours from the very beginning. Thank you for letting us come on the journey that is your life. You and your music are rare, precious and beautiful. We have enjoyed watching you recently on Stateside television shows such as "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and the "Steven Colbert Report." Yes, we've caught them all! We are also thrilled that you have the GREAT Alun Davies by your side again! Here's one couple who still have his "Daydo" vinyl LP.

105. I love the album. You know you have a winner when you can't get the songs out of your head. It would be difficult to choose a favorite song from the album. I'm thrilled to be hearing your familiar voice and guitar again. I hope you go on tour in the USA, and if you do, I hope you come to Atlanta, GA. Welcome home! Please don't leave us again. Your music means a great deal to us. Candy Ellison

106. It's wonderful. Thank you for coming back to us. (On another subject - I'm SOOOO disappointed. I donated some money to WFUV here in NY so as to obtain two tickets to a private show at Highline Ballroom on May 3rd. I was so upset when the concert was canceled! It was a dream come true, only to be dashed! Come visit NY again soon, please!)
