Mellow Thursday: Peace Train

Haven't posted a "Mellow Thursday" post in a while. Hope you enjoy it.

Why Mellow Thursday? The week has a head of steam, and you're probably rushing to the weekend. Time to sit back and enjoy a bit of mellow music to clear your head.

Below are a couple of videos of Yusuf Islam (the former Cat Stevens) singing versions of his hit "Peace Train." The first is a contemporary African version, while the second is the version you may remember from 1971 (as performed at a 1976 concert). Says Cat as he introduces the tune, "If everyone could love Alfred Hitchcock, I think it would be a better world." Heck, why not?)

And, for an extra bonus, I am including a recent performance of "Father and Son," a Cat Stevens favorite of mine from many decades ago.
