Matthew and Son

Matthew And Son

"Matthew and Son" is a single written, composed, and performed by Cat Stevens. It was selected as the title song for his debut album named after the song. Stevens, a newly-arrived teenage singer-songwriter, was performing for a youthful audience, but during the mid-1960s, the period of the start of his musical career, was seen by his audience initially in the role of a crooner, or a young, foppish, "swinging" version of older celebrities who sang as television performers. This was in comparison to the newly emerging folk-rock genre from the skiffle which had, in part, inspired him to begin writing and performing.
