Mona Bone Jakon
Cat Stevens' third album, Mona Bone Jakon, was released in 1970, three years after his last album, New Masters. During this interim, Stevens contracted a life-threatening case of tuberculosis that forced him to retreat from his pop star life. After a year of ordered bed rest, Stevens returned to the music world a changed man. Disillusioned by the music industry, he addresses the triviality of being a pop star on "Pop Star," and opts for a plaintive, acoustic folk sound with spare instrumental backing. Comprised of songs written during his convalescence, Mona Bone Jakon is a reflective album that deals with death and spiritual yearning - as well as Stevens' former girlfriend Patti D'Arbanville. Fans of the 1971 existentialist dark comedy Harold and Maude will recognize "Trouble," "I Wish, I Wish," and "I Think I See the Light" from the film's soundtrack. Fun Fact: The original title for the album was "The Dustbin Cried the Day the Dustman Died," which explains the album's cover art. Also, "Katmandu" features Peter Gabriel on flute.
