20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection – The Best Of Rod Stewart
Description
Product description CD Before he threw his talent away in the
mid-1970s, Rod Stewart was a rock star to be reckoned with. His sandpaper and
whiskey throated vocals were the perfect vehicle for the blues-rock sound he
pursued in the ’60s with various bands, including the Jeff Beck Group. On his
own, Stewart came up with something even more potent, mixing electric
instruments with mandolins, acoustic guitars, and fiddles on songs such as
“Maggie May,” “You Wear It Well,” and his gorgeous reading of Tim Hardin’s
“Reason to Believe.” This collection is limited to Stewart’s brief time at
Mercury Records in the early ’70s, but that’s fine, since that period saw the
release of his best albums overall: The Rod Stewart Album, Gasoline Alley,
Every Picture Tells a Story, and Never a Dull Moment. His biggest smashes from
that time are here along with lower-charting but equally fine fare such as
“Twistin’ the Night Away,” “Country Comforts,” and “It’s All Over Now.”
