Rod definitely has one of the greatest "Rock 'n' Roll" voices ever!

Gentlemen - I believe the word you're looking for is "BANGER". This song NEVER stops hitting no matter how many times you've heard it.

Every Picture Tells a Story, if you want to hear some serious Bass and straight up jamming.

I have been air-drumming this song since I was 12 years old (I will be 61 this year!!) and its still my favorite drum solo of all time!! Still get chills listening to it!

This is Rod Stewart and Faces, as everyone playing on the track was a member of that band at the time of its recording, including Rod. The Kenney Jones drum solo is a masterclass in timekeeping as he *never* loses the tempo and just plays with feeling. There's a live version of this track that really shows off how tight this band was as a unit. Worth a watch.

Dudes. This track was basically recorded live. It's The Faces. Kenny Jones on drums. Ronnie Lane on bass. Ian McLaughlin on keyboard. And Woody on the gitbox. There is a live at the BBC clip of the song on KZread that you should watch.

This is one of my faves of his, such a groove! This is Rods natural voice, that rasp is on everything hes got for your ears to hear. Hes so into his musicians and their jam that he's expressing with whoops and hollers in the background which is where hes meant to be in the song at that time. He allows his musicians to carry the song and he rides along like a kid on a ride who screams out with excitement over that highest drop but hes just barely heard over the din. Great tune!

Rasp? Guys, this is Rod's *smooth* voice! Just wait till you hear the rasp later in his career--never needs to fake it.

There's so much going on with this song it's amazing. The funky bad ass bass line, the keyboard comes out of nowhere to blow your mind, the drummer just rocking it while slipping in his gems and I won't even mention the guitar God he doesn't need it. In a word, perfection!

Rod and the band at their tightest, loudest, and most soulful, the drummer just kills it. This is when Rod Stewart was considered maybe the best singer in Rock & Roll. This entire album is essential rock & roll.

As a middle aged but still rockin’ Brit, thanks for this one! Early Rod Stewart is always rewarding, next should be You wear it well from Never a dull moment, slower paced but great lyrics. Be a bit careful with some of the eighties stuff, he lost his way a little in my opinion.🥂

He spent so much time there that his manager practically had to drag him out so he wouldn't be late for his show!

"(I Know) I'm Losing You" is a 1966 hit single recorded by the Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label and produced by Norman Whitfield. "(I Know) I'm Losing You" was a No. 1 hit on the Billboard R&B singles chart, and reached No. 8 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart.

Late 60's / Early 70's Rod Stewart is the best Rod Stewart. He & Ronnie were masters of that dirty blues rock style.

There's a lot to unpack with this cut; this is an old Temptations' song. I saw The Temptations do it in the mid 60s (my first concert when I was 10) and then saw The Faces (with Stewart) do it in concert in the early 70s (opening for Grand Funk Railroad). The Faces became The Faces when The Small Faces' Steve Marriott left the band and Rod Stewart (vocals) & Ronnie Wood (guitar) took his place - Marriott did both guitar & vocals for Small Faces. Steve Marriott when on to form Humble Pie (eventually joined by Peter Frampton) . . . I think you guys did his 'Black Coffee', and you should do his 'I Don't Need No Doctor' and his 'Whatcha Gonna Do About It' when still with Small Faces. Ronnie Wood when on to join The Rolling Stones and the Faces' drummer Kenney Jones went on to join The Who after Keith Moon's death. And you want Stewart at his best . . ? . . before Faces Rod Stewart was in a little band with (no less than) Jeff Beck ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYp209tye7XTXZM.html ) - and before that he was in Steampacket, an iconic early British Blues band.

This is the first album I ever bought myself!! Love it still. Yes to the crush on Rod-since 1976. PS you’ll so love Dazed and Confused- I don’t even want to admit to how many times I’ve watched it. Accurate depiction of the 70s.

When I was 15, I got hooked into the "Record of the Month" club. They sent me Jeff Beck's "Truth" album. When I heard, "I Ain't Superstitious", my head whipped around and I yelled, "Who's that!!!" The day I fell in love with Rod. The poster from Every Picture Tells a Story remained on my wall for years! (nice butt pic). I'm 67 now and still listen all the time. At 76, he's still singing and has over 2 million subscribers to his KZread channel. He went through serious throat cancer surgery and eventually was able to sing again after 9 months. That did not give him his rasp, it comes naturally. He's an amazing songwriter. People dump on him because he changed but he brilliantly reinvented himself with every decade. He's an amazing artist, who does equally well on covers as he does on his own body of work and has sold over 250 million albums. I just recently found, "Kiss Her for Me" by Rod and Frankie Miller who wrote the song and flipped out. Would melt the hardest heart. My favorite live performance? Willie Dixon's, "I Just Wanna Make Love to You". kzread.info/dash/bejne/e6Rl16V8ktOniZM.html. Jim Cregan, Billy Peek, Carmine Appice, Phil Chen, Kevin Savigar and Gary Grainger. A great band on his Blondes Have More Fun tour. Worth a watch for any Rod fan! He's a father of 8 kids, going back on tour in a few months and my favorite Scot.

You need to check out Rod with Jeff Beck on People Get Ready or something off Beck's first album "Truth ".

That right there? One of the best albums of the rock era. Start to finish.

I am one of those huge Rod Stewart fans. I just saw him in concert Friday night.OMG,it was fabulous. I’ve seen him in concert 35 times and it was one of the best shows he’s ever done. Still looks and sounds great.

Cut LIVE in the studio to 8-tracks. On all cyliders.at that. A classic of the highest level!! Raw real and imperfectly perfect. When dealing with limited tracks and raw talent there is no over mixing. Keep listening. It is awesome.

The fabulous Kenny Jones on drums! This is pretty much a "Faces" album, with a lot of help, and not a weak moment on it! I loved that loose, bluesy, sound of those guys! They always made you feel like you were just sitting in the pub, knocking back a few pints listening to the house band! Do the whole album, you won't be sorry! Some of that early Rod, with Jeff Beck's "Truth", is really strong too! Check that stuff out as well! Want something completely different, from the same album, try the beautiful "Reason to Believe" or "Mandolin Wind". Straight Hot Sauce, go with the title track, "Every Picture Tells a Story". Want some old dirtier Rod, go with "Spanish Boots" or "All Shook Up" both from the "Beck-Ola" album, with the great Nicky Hopkins on keys.

The 1971 Live from the BBC version is worth a listen... it has a little more energy to it than the studio version and it's easy to find on youtube. Great song and band.

You'd hardly recognise it from its Motown birth, but wow, what a fantastic rendition. It's always been a favourite of mine and it's been wonderful to hear your positive thoughts about it. Rod and the Faces did some fantastic stuff in the early to mid 70s that's for sure.

The snatch of Rod singing In a Broken Dream magnificent,also as guitar solo's go one of the best. the song I'm Losing You is Rod when he was starting out on his solo career. 1971

@@dana_brooke_27 lol my mom did the same thing she loved him i mean worshipped and still does she turns 77 in June, i even remember in 1969 the Faces first tour with Rod & Ronnie Wood they were still called Small Faces at that time and they opened for Three Dog Night at the Cotton bowl in Dallas, TX my parents went to that concert and me and my sister's got a baby sitter , ugh when i found out that's wher they went i threw a fit !!!! Ha oh well all those early times of listening to him because of mom i became a huge fan Of Rod Stewart !!! I have over 1000 Rod stewart items collected from tours and vinyl many imports as i have found out over the last 50 years he is immensely popular in countless countries !!!! Long live Rod Stewart .

A song with Rod Stewart and trains? Either “People Get Ready” or “Downtown Train”, both of which are cover songs, as was “I’m Losing You”.

Every Picture Tells a Story is an EPIC must hear, lyrically and musically.

The drum solo on that track is fantastic !🤗🤗

This cut was always so "live" feeling. The commentary about the vocal mix touches on thoughts I've had for decades about how good this could have sounded. Ive seen Rod live many times due to the infatuation of my girlfriend, "Hot Legs", who's been holding my leash since 79-ish. Ive only seen The Police and Stewart Copeland more times than Rod Stewart. They may be equal. Same time frame actually. I went on a bus trip Rod show. That was fun. 10% of the ladies napped right thru the show on the bus.

This album is one of my top 5 of all time!

🎹keys woke up and chose violence that morning 🎹

One of my favorite drum solos. Next do "Every Picture Tells a Story", also known as the Donut song, featuring the incredible Maggie Bell, whose voice launched a thousand NSFW dreams among impressionable young men. It also has some killer lyrics, like "I sincerely thought I was so complete, Look how wrong you can be."

The Grandma's liked Rod so much he had a whole second career singing old standards originally done by Sinatra, etc.

I'm 67...and I love Rod Stewart !!! One of the first albums I ever bought with my own money.

Early in his career Rod Stewart was a rocker ,later in his journey he turned to the slower love ballads ☮️

It would be cool to do a live stream of listening to the different versions of songs. There are 3 well known versions of this song: The Temptations, Faces, and Rare Earth. Each brings their own style and are amazing in their own way.

Rare earth is my favorite

Every picture tells a story and Rod is the painter.

I love his cover of Fly On My Sweet Angel! One of the great things about this period of Rock was the absolute orgy of music swapping that bred multiple hits with the same song! Such a creative period ♥️

Rod is so great he can sing any style and the song Mandolin Wind would show just how great.

Speaking of Cat Stevens...

Yes I was in love with early Rod Stewart. Saw him live when I was a freshman in high school.

Rod Stewart -- and the Faces, boys! That's why the groove and the tightness...

GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING A&A FAMILY ☮️❤️♾️

Answering your 'next-Rod-Stewart-song' question AND sticking to trains, find the video for Rod Stewart & Jeff Beck "People Get Ready" from around 1985. Great stuff!
