Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential recording:
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

Rating: - Rod Stewart at his Best.
Rod Stewart was at his best between the years 1969 to 1975, when he was cultivating his solo career while still a member of The Faces, and before the tawdry posturing of his "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" disco years.

Rating: - a favorite among many
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. ... Read More
