Music reviews of The Definitive Rod Stewart (2 CD)

Music Review: A great overview to Rod the Mod
Rating: 5 Stars

Rod Stewart's new 2-CD compilation entitled The Definitive Rod Stewart lives up to its title and then some as it cobbles many of his Mercury Records and Warner Bros Records classics.
Singer/songwriter Rod Stewart (or as Rod the Mod as many call him) has been one of the most popular and prolific recording artists in a career that's spanned now for almost 45 years. Ever since his voice debuted on former Yardbird Jeff Beck's album Truth in 1968, he's tackled every genre in rock and pop (hard rock, folk, disco, ballads, pop standards). Nothing from his first two solo albums The Rod Stewart Album and Gasoline Alley are featured here, they were stepping stones towards his third solo album from 1971 Every Picture Tells A Story which launched him as a great singer/songwriter in his own right.
Every Picture Tells a Story's well represented here with "Maggie May", "Mandolin Wind" and the title cut ("Reason to Believe" is on disc two in its 1993 Unplugged version with Ron Wood). Some lament that his cover of "I Know I'm Losing You" is not here gives one a reason to own Every Picture Tells a Story. Then we have "Stay With Me" which was a track he did with the band he was in at the time called The Faces (which featured future Rolling Stones guitarist and Rod's close friend Ron Wood, former Small Faces and future Who drummer Kenney Jones) still a rock radio staple today. Next is "You Wear it Well" from 1972's Never a Dull Moment. After The Faces imploded and his solo effort Smiler didn't do as well as previous solo efforts, Rod signed to Warner Bros. Records (his label with The Faces) in 1975 and released Atlantic Crossing which is represented here by the hit "Sailing". Two other tracks "This Old Heart of Mine" and "I Don't Want to Talk About It" are featured in their 1989 re-recorded versions from the Storyteller box set (the former with Ronald Isley). 1976's A Night on the Town (which reached #2) is represented by the #1 hit ballad "Tonight's the Night", his superb cover of Cat Stevens' "The First Cut Is the Deepest" (later desecrated by Sheryl Crow IMHO) and Rod's ode to a good friend who was killed in a hate crime called "The Killing of Georgie" (proved Rod was a great songwriter). 1977's Footloose and Fancy Free (his best Warner Bros Records album) is represented by the smash hits "You're In My Heart" (a great ballad) and "Hot Legs" (one of his best rockers) plus the epic closer "I Was Only Joking". 1978's chart-topper Blondes Have More Fun is represented by the #1 rock-disco hit "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy". 1980's Foolish Behaviour is represented by "Passion" (a great rocker). Disc one closes with the monster hit "Young Turks" from 1981's Top 20 Platinum selling Tonight I'm Yours (his best 1980s effort).
Disc two begins with the title cut to Tonight I'm Yours. 1983's flop Body Wishes is represented by "Baby Jane" (the big hit from the album). 1984's Gold selling Camouflague is represented by the big hits "Infatuation" and "Some Guys Have All the Luck". His cover of "All Right Now" was left off but c'est la vie. His 1986 self-titled flop (though a great album) is represented by the hit "Love Touch" which appeared in the Robert Redford/Debra Winger film Legal Eagles. 1988's comeback Out of Order is represented by the classic "Forever Young" and "My Heart Can't Tell You No". The other two smashes on this album ("Lost in You" and "Crazy About Her") aren't here but c'est la vie. 1989's box set Storyteller is represented by the definitive version of Tom Waits' "Downtown Train" and the aforementioned re-makes of tracks from his 1975 album Atlantic Crossing. 1991's Vagabond Heart is represented by the monster smashes "Rhythm Of My Heart" and "The Motown Song" (with The Temptations). Sadly, "Broken Arrow" is absent due to time constraints. Another Tom Waits cover "Tom Traubert's Blues" appears and is a great number. 1993's Unplugged...And Seated is represented by his version of Van Morrison's "Have I Told You Lately" and the aforementioned "Reason to Believe". Nothing from 1995's A Spanner in the Works is featured nor is 1998's When We Were the New Boys but you get an outtake from the latter which is a Rod original called "Two Shades of Blue".
If one wants to buy a Rod Stewart best of to start their intro to Rod Stewart, this is the best bet.
