Like the fine wines that are his hobby, Al Stewart's gifts as a singer and songwriter have matured and ripened over the course of his musical career, stretching from the early '60s to the present and beyond.
Stewart was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1945, and moved with his family to Bournemouth, a seaside town in the South of England, at an early age.
Between the Wars (1995), focusing on the '20s and '30s, marked Al's first collaboration with former Wings guitarist Laurence Juber; their next effort, Down in the Cellar (2000), was a concept album, incorporating Al's knowledge of fine wines into his you-are-there songs of personal and historical vignettes; the CD was only released in Europe.

 George Graham Reviews Al Stewart
Stewart also has written several songs over the years woven around historical events into which his characters are often caught up.
Al Stewart's new album with Laurence Juber entitled Between the Wars is a fine recording that revives the old-fashioned "concept album" in a particularly literate and tasteful way.
Though Stewart has been weaving history into some of his songs over the years, this is, I think, his finest effort, further enhanced by the instrumental settings inspired by Europe in the Twenties and Thirties.

 CD Baby: AL STEWART: A Beach Full of Shells
Al Stewart is not afraid of time and its passages.
As he nears the 20-album mark, Stewart remains a distinctively literate and vivid storyteller, time-traveling and teleporting himself and his listeners from World War I battlefields to Sixties bedrooms, from ships to airplanes to ice floes, from the specific to the mysterious.
Al's first album, "Bedsitter Images," was released in England in 1967 (and years later in the US), followed by 1969's "Love Chronicles," which featured Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and a pseudonymous Richard Thompson on lead guitars and a 19-minute title song that recounted his romantic adventures and contained a then-shocking synonym for "fornicating."
