2014 release from Yusuf aka Cat Stevens his first album since 2009's acclaimed ROADSINGER. Recorded all over the world, including Los Angeles, Dubai, Brussels, and London, the album features 10 brand-new studio recordings, including five originals and five carefully-chosen cover songs. 'Tell 'Em I'm Gone' features musical contributions from Richard Thompson, blues harmonica legend Charlie Musselwhite, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Tuareg group Tinariwen, & guitarist Matt Sweeney, as well as production from Rick Rubin. Each track is threaded together by the themes of freedom and peace that have prevailed through more than four decades of Yusuf's musical career. Yusuf returns to the roots of his musical inspiration: American blues and R&B, using these genres to explore the universality of the desire for freedom with songs that recall the spirit of his earliest days as a nascent singer/songwriter in London. 'What's powerful and profound, to me, is the overall message which emerged, lyrically,' Yusuf says of this album 'It suddenly stared me in the face: the struggle for Freedom! My God, isn't that what most human beings dream of? 'I hope this record will help revive the spirit of Freedom & re-kindle some of the excitement of those amazing days, when every musical door seemed to point us a way out of our imprisonment,' Yusuf says.
