Yusuf duets with a young Cat Stevens in this lovely reimagining of "Father And Son"

Yusuf, who you may also know as Cat Stevens, is a little more than a week from celebrating the 50th birthday of Tea for the Tillerman with Tea for the Tillerman², a rerecorded version of his iconic 1970 album. Today, the songwriter shared a new video for his new riff on “Father And Son,” a frankly genius recreation of one of the original’s best songs.

Yusuf duets with, well, himself on the song, singing the father’s parts as his younger self belts out the rebellious verses of the son, for whom it’s “always been the same, the same old story.” The latter audio was pulled from a 1970 performance of the track at L.A.’s Troubadour, and his passionate delivery cuts just as deep now as it did then. The weathered, earthy quality of Yusuf’s vocals, meanwhile, layer in a gravity that speaks to the half-century bridging the two voices.
