Rod Stewart;
Product Description
-------------------
Once upon a time, Rod Stewart was not vamping indiscriminately about "Hot Legs" and asking "D'ya Think I'm Sexy?" He was a singer with a gravel-voice approximation of Sam Cooke and excellent taste in cover material. Here, he's toned down with folksy covers of Tim Hardin ("Reason to Believe"), Bob Dylan ("Tomorrow is Such a Long Time"), and Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup (via Elvis, "That's All Right Mama"). He tops his interpretive abilities with two originals that have since become standards ("Maggie May, " "Every Picture Tells A Story"). Quite a different Rod from the one the world has come to know. --Rob O'Connor

Considered Rod Stewart's masterpiece today, Every Picture Tells a Story truly shines from beginning to end. While it's completely UNTRUE this is the best album he ever made, we can't deny how good the quality of the material is.
Everyone knows the title song with its fast rocking pace and rough-around-the-edges vocals. "Maggie May" is an overplayed classic, but still, a classic. Everyone likes to memorize the lyrics because the song is considered one of the greatest songs of all-time. "Mandolin Wind" may be tagged as a forgotten beautiful favorite. The delicate and meaningful vocals in "Reason to Believe" is enough to make grown men cry. "(I Know) I'm Losing You" is similar to the title song with the vocals and heaviness and dirtiness in the guitar work, and "Seems Like a Long Time" reminds me of Carole King with the piano playing. "That's All Right" takes us back to the Faces with the bluesy delivery in the vocals and guitar work.
Overall, great album, but Never a Dull Moment is slightly better.;
