The album that emerged, Mona Bone Jakon, expressed the torment he had experienced but combined it with self-referential humour and a spiritual awakening. Now he would metamorphose into an artist of rare perception and depth who created the template for the new breed of singer-writers of the era.ĭuring Stevens’ extended convalescence, he studied classical music, metaphysical literature, and meditative self-reflection. Stevens was widely known for his own 1960s hits such as “Matthew and Son”and “I’m Gonna Get Me A Gun” and as the songwriter of “The First Cut Is The Deepest” and others. Mona Bone Jakon was the April 1970 release that came after the London-born singer-songwriter, recovered from serious illness with TB, signed a new deal with Island Records.
