My only downside with GENESIS..Is that it got too COMMERCIALIZED...That was when Peter Left the Band...

This was a great interview with Al. Such great stories from a guy who was in the beginning of the British Invasion and beyond. I would love to have a glass or three of wine with Mr. Stewart and spend a few more hours listening to his stories. Fascinating. Thank you for this.

Al Stewart has been a favorite of mine for over forty years, and I just saw him (July 20) live in Sherman, TX, as part of the city's Hot Summer Nights outdoor concert series, accompanied by a band from Chicago, The Empty Pockets. It was awesome. It was also pretty cool to hear mention of others connected to other favorites of mine. Hank Marvin of the Shadows was a huge influence on Mike Oldfield (best known for TUBULAR BELLS) who had a hit in the UK with his version of the Shadows "Wonderful Land". The Shadows returned the favor, so to speak, with an instrumental version of Oldfield's biggest pop song "Moonlight Shadow". And Marty Wilde is Kim Wilde's ("Kids In America") father.

I wish he would have pitched Thyme Sausages.

I love Al's music since Year of the Cat album came out! Thank you for this interview, I'm happy to find out what a kind person he is. I'm subscribing right now!

There have been a lot of 'new Dylans'. Apart from Steve Forbert, their number has included Donovan, John Prine, Bruce Springsteen, Loudon Wainwright III. The label never accurately described these great artists. It reduced them.

I am 56 and I just watched About Last Night with Rob Lowe and Demi Moore. I faintly heard a song playing in the background in one of the scenes. I decided to look it up. It was Step by Step by Karla Bonoff and J.D. Souther. What a beautiful song, brought me to tears. They were both excellent as their voices blended so beautifully. It was the one most beautiful love songs I have ever heard. I can't believe it never became a top 10 hit. Karla is an amazing talent. People are right, she does not get enough credit. She needs to fire her manager as she should be a household name.

Thank You very much for sharing it was an awesome interview…🎶😎

WOW! MICHAEL MCDONALD IS GREAT!

She even toured with Janice Ian about 10-15 years ago. They were both great.

She is such an extraordinary talent. The “All My Life” clip is awesome! 👍👍🙏

God Bless you Karla. I hope I hear you sing in Heaven. Doug

So many wonderful Memories of the Birchmere .

I am very glad to see you. Thank you very much.

Thank you for the interview, Steve!

It's amazing how Karla never seemed to receive the recognition and fame as those who covered her songs. Karla's voice is so pure and pristine. I've never experienced a musician more capable of evoking so many tears.

He forgot to mention another fabulous singer who performed Karla's beautiful songs....." Nicolette Larson"

Thumbs up isn’t showing. Great interview with a great musician! Thanks & God bless all.😍

That was always my Fave!

The Everlasting Beat!!!!

Wow Love it !!!!❤😂

Thank you so much for this wonderful interview with our beloved Al Stewart 👏🏻👏🏻everything g you said about Al resonates with me as well !! I love all the stories from Al’s music/lyrics and more 👏🏻🥰🎶

Al, encouraged my poetry.

What a Great Tribute to her great career.

My favorite female singer/writer of all time…have gotten to see her live a few times late 70s-90s.

I did continue following his career waiting to find the wonder of some TFTO passages. I never found it again. For me, the most sublime music ever made

Great interview. Gowans music was also featured sometimes on the first generation Degrassi tv series. Remixed A Criminal Mind with Maestro Fresh Wes and has a music video released.

How much composing did Wakeman contribute to YES?

Such a great interview with such an incredible musical artist.

Tales has tons of great musical ideas but DANG did it need some editorial oversight, somebody to say no. Also, the original sound quality was not as good as CttE. The remasters were better.

Hi Steve, thanks for this wonderful interview with Al. I thought you really said it for the rest of us when you thanked him for the wonderful memories his music brings to us. Indeed, his albums are inmortal. Love Amy Johnson 's song ( Flying Sorcery ), On the Border, Time Passages and of course The Year of the Cat.

Completely superb 30 minutes. Long live Danny's legacy. Nobody played and performed like him 👍🎶👍🎸

ive always been a fan of karla and im glad she is still making music glad to know that shes very happy surrounded by love cause she loves cats

I am also not the target audience for Pretty Golden Hair given how painfully straight I am but I remember listening to it and genuinely shedding a tear when cutting off my long blond locks about 15 years ago so I could get a real job. Then I showed up the first day at my new job and saw a guy with visible tattoos and hair longer than mine had been. Oh well, still a cherished memory

Consummate front NY “front runner”. I was goin’ over there to audition…..”

He's also very funny!

She has most gorgeous vocals needs to do spiritual roots ballads introspection stories to song Folk Art. I have always mostly adored all the powerful inspiration ballads that saved my life. I love easy listening harmonies ballads great sing along that I can sing to my kids and pets harmonies soul food,

As my all-time favorite musical artist and someone who I've seen live 8 times, I'd love to see one final album out of him, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. I regularly show youtube clips of his songs in my college history classes. In fact, the students just watched a live clip of "Roads to Moscow" in my World War II class last Thursday.

I just watched this in preparation to see her in Vashon, WA tonight. Great interview with a great artist.

before the internet. went around to music shops singing blood and roses to find out who this was. great band and have loved all of their work; including the Beatles tribute stuff.

This is a Beautiful interview with Al Stewart. Thanks so much for posting this Steve. I've heard much of Al's early history but I thought I'd learned it all, only after I first bought Al's Past Present and Future album, that he speaks of at 35 minutes into the interview. It was originally played locally here in Portland Oregon on KINK Radio FM 102, in early 1973. That was the first time we discovered Al Stewart locally. My first girlfriend who later became my wife of over 22 years, and I, went to see Al play here live, as his first performance locally in Portland. Of all places, in the Mount Hood Community College gymnasium, just minutes away from where I later designed and built our first home for my wife and daughter and myself in 1988. Al gave a spectacular performance of the long song about Russian history, as an historic video was projected on an overhead screen. I didn't realize at the time, that we were getting a great historical account of the early 20th century Europe, with beautiful music, composed and performed by Al Stewart. The next album I actually recorded with my new Wollensak tape deck, as the same aforementioned KINK FM local radio played a new album once a week on Wednesday nights, I still have this recording today, of the Year of the Cat album, on a high quality Maxell cassette tape, that I still play often on my home stereo system. My wife had already purchased the vinyl record so I still have that today in like new pristine condition. I then bought every successive Al Stewart album release that came out afterwards, and still today, all these albums are timeless masterpieces. It was about 2010 that I took a lady friend and other young guy friends to see Bert Jansch perform here in Portland, in the Mississippi Studios. I walked up after the concert and had him autograph one of the pentangle's famous albums Sweet Child, and spoke with Bert briefly. It was a great pleasure to hear in your interview, of Al talk about Bert in the early days, and that episode with Jimmy Page stealing Burt's arrangement of Black Waterside. I audio-visually recorded a a short video of him playing this to a crowd that was in that small theater here, as many people were in tears, listening to Bert play and sing. I was crushed when I heard he passed away a couple years later. [One last note here, as a local connection in Portland with Al Stewart's band, I grew up with local musicians on the far Northeast edge of Portland in the Parkrose Heights district, that one, named Bill Lamb, went on to play and record with several of Al Stewart's former band members, Peter White, on keyboards, and one of Al's other side guitar players. I believe this was in the late 1980s to early 1990's.] Thanks again so much for this great interview, Steve.

Your introduction is exhausting

I was lucky enough to be in the Boston music scene back in the 80s and saw the band play several times. Jim and all the guys great people. Keep Rocking Jim, RIP Pat

One of my favourite songs that Ms Bonoff recorded was ' The Water is Wide ' featuring the most improvisational Accordion solo from the brilliant genius Garth Hudson . She is rather special ,isn't she ?

Karla always one of my favorites! Love her voice/songs! ❤️ 💕 ♥️

i had no clue karla did this song i only knew the wynonna version 🙋‍♂️

Steve Hook, thanks so much for interviewing the girls!! Maybe we’ll meet one day. Blessings 🙏🏻

Don't forget that Mark H also worked with some incredible man by the last name of Dylan.
