Year of the Wog

Best-of albums, especially for artists who aren’t in the current generation of pop stars, can definitely offer a great bang for your musical buck. Al Stewart’s Best Of is one of my favorites, and delivers a solid 38 wogging minutes. Stewart’s halcyon days were the 70s, when his biggest hit, Year of the Cat, lilted its way onto the airwaves. But his songs, a kind of Scottish storytelling pop, full of wistful notions and historical references, can’t be so easily attached to one place or time. This week’s wog is definitely on the softer side though, easy on the bones, and can be found at Podwogging.com. Of course.
