― Bee OK, Wednesday, 28 April 2021 23:47 (four years ago)

the image that i was going to post is the wrong image anyways. when i brought this up on Spotify it was completely different. maybe that one is the reissue image or something?

Yeah the title track for me as well. Discovered this album in my mom's collection collection as a young boy, love it still

Fuckin' great songwriter.

I'm fond of the last three songs on this, but I agree that the title track feels like a folk/rock standard. I also like that he just sings it straight, he doesn't feel the need to juice it up with asides and (supposed) ad libs like he often does.

Had to go with “You’re My Girl,” one of Kenney Jones’s most incisive and nuanced performances.

II haven't listened to this in a long time, "It's All Over Now."

What’s the deal with “the rod strewart album” ? Was that before this? My family had that one and “every picture” and “Atlantic crossing” with the freaky cover

― calstars, Saturday, 1 May 2021 00:54 (four years ago)

An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down in the UK. It's got "Handbags and Gladrags"--great--and the title song's good too.

― clemenza, Saturday, 1 May 2021 01:03 (four years ago)

(Yes, it was his debut.)

― clemenza, Saturday, 1 May 2021 01:04 (four years ago)

listening to this i have come to realize that Rod Stewart is one of the best rock male vocalist of all-time

― Bee OK, Saturday, 1 May 2021 23:13 (four years ago)

Sometimes when I’m in the shower I approach rod level timbre but it never lasts

― calstars, Saturday, 1 May 2021 23:27 (four years ago)

G alley derives it’s power from the combo of major key verses and minor key chorus

― calstars, Saturday, 1 May 2021 23:31 (four years ago)

ITS

Wow, and I thought I would be the only vote for “Cut Across Shorty.”

― A Stop at Quilloughby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 4 May 2021 00:21 (four years ago)

If I had known might have voted for “My Way of Giving.” Still...

― A Stop at Quilloughby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 4 May 2021 00:29 (four years ago)

although that one is not is good as The Small Faces version so my vote was good after all. Unless I switched to “Country Comfort,” but that got a vote.

― A Stop at Quilloughby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 4 May 2021 00:44 (four years ago)

the Small Faces
