About Year of the Cat

“Year of the Cat,” the titular track on Al Stewart’s 1976 album, is arguably his most well known song. It was written by Stewart, keyboardist Peter Wood, and string arranger Andrew Powell, and was produced by Alan Parsons. The song contains long instrumental breaks accompanied by saxophone (played by Phil Kenzie) and piano. According to Stewart, this song was a direct result of his interest in the Vietnamese zodiac, which includes the “year of the cat,” which sets it apart from the Chinese zodiac. .
