Catch Bull at Four is the sixth studio album by Cat Stevens. In the United States it spent three weeks at number one on Billboard's album chart. The title is taken from one of the Ten Bulls of Zen. The song "Sitting" was released as a single in 1973, reaching 16 on the Hot 100 Charts.

Simultaneous with the release of Cat Stevens’ new album on A&M, Columbia has released a pleasing first solo effort by Alun Davies, second guitarist on Cat’s records from Mona Bone Jakon on. Catch Bull is impeccably produced. Its musical contents are like those of Teaser and the Firecat - simple, short-phrased melodies and spare and vibrant arrangements. There are, however, notable differences between Catch Bull and its predecessor. All told, I think that Catch Bull At Four is more interesting than Teaser, though tune for tune it is far less memorable. With Mona Bone Jakon and Tea for the Tillerman I was content to bask in gorgeous melody and orchestration. The economy and simplicity of Teaser I admired more than I liked. But what could come next, if Cat continued in this direction?

It couldn’t be more clear that Cat was consciously addressing the subject of his own spiritual progression. It’s telling that he chose to locate himself at the fourth stage of the process. This is where one must use great effort to take hold of the metaphorical bull which will use all its might to resist capture.

Stevens' only No. 1 album, 1972's Catch Bull at Four, didn't yield a hit single like his previous two LPs. But it remains one of his most popular works, an album rich in musical arrangements and spiritual enlightenment. Its best song, "Can't Keep It In," is one of Stevens' most playful songs, an acoustic guitar-guided pop symphony featuring one of his all-time best vocal performances. The album's second single fared much better (see No. 3 on our list of the Top 10 Cat Stevens Songs). 7. "Where Do the Children Play?" From: 'Tea for the Tillerman' (1970). Stevens opens his best (and career-defining) album, Tea for the Tillerman, with this rundown of totally sucky things about the late '60s and early '70s, like war, poverty and environmental devastation. Like a few other songs from the album, "Where Do the Children Play?" received an added boost as part of the soundtrack to the hit cult movie Harold and Maude.
