Tea for the Tillerman is the fourth studio album by singer-songwriter Cat Stevens, released in November 1970.

Overview
Stevens` fourth album released during the year 1970, Tea for the Tillerman includes many of his best-known songs such as `Where Do the Children Play?`, `Hard Headed Woman`, `Wild World`, `Sad Lisa`, `Into White`, and `Father and Son`.

Stevens, a former art student, created the artwork featured on the record`s cover.

With `Wild World` as an advance single, this was the album that brought Stevens worldwide fame.[citation needed] The album itself charted into the top 10 in the United States.

In November 2008, a `Deluxe Edition` was released featuring a second disc of demos and live recordings. In January 2012, a hi-res 24/192 kHz version was remastered using an Ampex ATR100 and a MSB Technology Studio ADC and released on HDtracks.com.[1]

Fifty years after the original album`s release, in September 2020, Stevens remade the album as Tea for the Tillerman2, including new lyrics and new instrumentation, and he sings along with his 22-year-old self in `Father and Son`.[2] That same year, Tea for the Tillerman was re-released as a 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition.[3] Along with five discs, the Super Deluxe Edition also includes a Blu-ray containing music videos, live videos, and audio of the 2020 mixes of the original album, as well as a 12` vinyl record of live recordings by Stevens in 1970 at the Troubadour, Los Angeles

All songs were written by Cat Stevens.

In popular culture
`Tea for the Tillerman` was used as the closing title track of the British sitcom Extras.

The opening scene to a 2014 episode of The Simpsons titled `Super Franchise Me` parodied the artwork to this album, with the title track playing over it.[32]

A previously unreleased version of `But I Might Die Tonight`, was used in the 1970 film Deep End in the opening and closing scenes. The version of the song used in the film was eventually released in 2020.[33]

Four of the songs from this album were used in the 1971 film Harold and Maude: `Tea for the Tillerman`; `Where Do the Children Play`; `Miles from Nowhere` and `On the Road to Find Out`.

The song `Father and Son`, was used in the closing scene of the 2017 film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.[34] The song is also featured in the 2009 film The Boat That Rocked.[35]
