Al Stewart: Queen Elizabeth Hall, London
Andrew Means, Melody Maker, 18 September 1971
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE to consider Al Stewart without including his lovelife. In those familiar with his songs he has invested his own deeply-felt emotions and something of his present fatalism. Rather than navigating fresh waters, his new material shows every sign of exploiting the love relationship theme to any illogical conclusion that it may eventually chance upon.
