Rod Stewart Every Picture Tells A Story CD

 my favourite Rod Stewart album
this was the first Rod Stewart record I bought, and to this day it remains one of my favourites, probably because it is part of the era when Rod was backed by the Small Faces

 What went wrong Rod?
Before Rod Stewart became a pale imitation of himself (making Atlantic crossings and poncing around like a British Hugh Heffner), he was quite a singer. Every Picture Tells a Story is proof of this. It's a stunning and varied collection of songs sung by a man with great passion for his music. The title track is so evocative of the turbulent early 70's as a young man recounts the events of his chaotic life. Stewart's voice never sounded better than this album, backed by a band that really tore it up without ever overpowering either the singer or the songs. A perfect example is the highly charged "Losing You" which finds the band cooking on a slow burning funk with Mick Waller's powerhouse drumming taking us to the song's eventual climax. The runaway success story from the album was "Maggie May", an example of a simple but pretty melody that enters through the ears and stays in the head for days. The gospel/blues tinged "Seems like a long time" is another that hangs around on the lips. Every Picture Tells a Story is a lovingly handcrafted project that not only stands as the high watermark of Stewart's creativity but also as a hint of what might have been before fame got to, and ultimately corrupted a great singer.

 A classic must have album
This album is one from an era when music was made by artists who were more interested in making music and sounding like themselves,than coping, sampling & sequencing.Before the industry decided that every band or musician or singer had to sound like this or that musician. I belive it is Rod Stewart at his very best.Each song on the album from the opening "Every Picture tells a story, Maggie May,Mandolin Wind, I'm Losin You, To reason to Belive, seem to segue in a perfect order not to found on any compilation or greatest hits. It is with out a doubt a must have.
