-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Hey guys! Excited to finally be checking out Rod Stewart!! Have heard a lot about him! Where do we go next with him?! Make sure to vote in this week’s poll on the community tab on the channel! Cheers all have a great weekend!! 🔥
Handbags and Gladrags.
And then you should do a cut off "Forever Changes" by Love. One of my all time favourite albums. "Alone Again Or", "Andmoreagain", "Bummer in the Summer" or "You Set the Scene".
Hot legs next gents.... Upbeat rockin
Ok cool can’t wait, I’ve been real curious to see you guy’s reaction to him! I could be the only one that doesn’t care for him/I don’t get all the hoopla?🤷🏻♀️ Glad you’re hitting this!
“Stay with me”, Rod and the Faces, one of the best guitar openings ever!
Do the title track Every Picture Tells A Story
“Wake up Maggie, I think I got something to say to you.” Perhaps one of the most recognisable opening lines of any rock song?
Imagine hearing it in 1971 when it was released.
It's a timeless song.
no other song does more to remind me of my youth. what a masterpiece
This song and American pie. And precious and few. Schools out. I've gotta brand new pair of roller skates..
Just out of the army and in college....this song WAS the early 70's.....thiose were some good days.
You cannot drink enough whiskey and smoke enough cigarettes to ever replicate that voice. Such a beautiful song
The entire album 'Every Picture Tells a Story' is arguably the absolute best Rod Stewart album. Pick any song from it and you'll have a banger.
Facts
Hell yeah!!!
It's his best album in my book.
This.
Truth. One of the best albums of the early 70s, by far.
"Every Picture Tells a Story," don't it? Epic story-telling song. Slashing Ronnie Wood guitar work. "Stay With Me," "Oh La La" "Hot Legs" "You Wear It Well" are all worthy. If you want a ballad, "Gasoline Alley" or "Mandolin Wind."
Ooh La La is Ronnie Wood singing
Adam B NYC all these except hot legs. Disco trash.
@@TheBajoman oh la la is actually Ronnie Lane singing, Every Picture Tells A Story is one of the greatest albums ever imo. Mandolin Wind is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life.
Ronnie Wood has a few albums out, my favorite Ronnie Wood song is Breathe On Me, one of the most overlooked songs in music.
You Wear It Well is my favorite
Hot Legs is commercial trash. Every Picture Tells a Story is a BANGER.
I had a Border Collie for 16 years. I named her Maggie May. Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of her, and how much I miss her.
As i am reading your comment I am sitting with my Border collie cassie she's sound asleep cuddling into me.
They are magic - miss my guy Flash like nothing else
You have no idea what a hit this album was in our time. But there so many others on the charts. But rod and his hair was killer. We had every picture tells a story, sticky finger, neil young after the gold rush on and on
I was in college when this song came out. Reminds me of LSU sophomore year!
Those of us who were around during that period found this to be a part of our psyche that would stay with us as we aged. I had just gotten out of the Army and was in college. I remember dancing in a bar to this....good memories for sure. Thanks Rod!
Nearly FIFTY years later, still sounds wonderful. Easy to forget how brilliant Rod’s voice was and how evocative and skilled his song writing still is.
👉And I still enjoy listening to it.
Spot on. If I had written a short review it might have been this, word for word.
Rod Stewart's gravely voice added depth that would otherwise be missed.
Rod and Jeff Beck got back together, later in their careers, to do a one off, People Get Ready. Fantastic!
Really good vocal performance from Rod on "People Get Ready" and an incredible guitar solo, really lush and soulful from Jeff. This shows why they are both two of the most revered artists ever.
"Jeff Beck Group" album with Rod.
"Ain"t Superstitious"
People get Ready (Curtis Mayfield cover). 80's pop crossove video. It's ok. Honestly prefer original.
The previous mentioned also a Howlin Wolf cover though Epic.
The prior is
Rod on vocals on "Jeff Beck Group" album circa 73. This is the most ballsey of all Rods work.
Fantastic version of that song. Both Rod and Beck kill it
@@johnnyprovidence8414 They should be arrested.
It’s weird to see people hearing this song that I’ve heard my whole life.. how could you not hear it
Never going to hear him better than when he was with Faces. "Stay With Me", "I'm Losing You", "You Wear It Well" and "Reason To Believe" are just a few of the great songs by Faces.
TRUTH!❤️
Anything off this album, to be honest.
I'll bump up "I'm losing you" because Rod is strident(!!) in those lyrics 😂
YES! Thank you.
Next: REASON TO BELIEVE and THE FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST. Rod Stewart & Faces: STAY WITH ME.
And “You Wear It Well,” which is always together with “Reason To Believe” for me...
@@sarahzentexas Lord, how did I forget to mention You Wear It Well?! Yes, that’s a classic. Thank you 👍🏼
Thankyou Joann, I forgot about "The First Cut is the Deepest", love it!!❤
@@lisamorrison2149 My pleasure, Lisa 😉 Following A&A reminds me there are still so many people who enjoy classic rock.
@@joannwoodworth8920 Right On! That's why I enjoy A&A. Have a great Weekend.
The Faces- I'm Losing you
Absolutely!
Tune!
All the up votes in the world for "I'm Losing You", Faces version!
Yep - killer live version ❤️ czcams.com/video/uP4CEPaiAzU/video.html
A single with a drum solo!
'Every Picture tells A Story" is a must react for another Rod Stewart tune.
Absolutely!
Yes, yes, yes!!
I heartily fourth this! “The women I’ve known I wouldn’t let tie my shoes” lol. One of the funniest lines in rock and roll.
Must've heard Maggie May on the radio thousand times....but never get tired of it...each time I get swept away by the story & Rod's emotional telling of it.
Classic rock love song...with mandolin 😍
Guys still havn't figured out the Police song is about a schoolgirl flirting with a young male teacher and his discomfort in the situation.
Sign of the times, they went straight to child abuse. With “Don’t Stand So Close To Me.”
They are too young to get the fact that "Don't Stand So, Don't stand so close to me" was reused as "I want my, I want my MTV"
How could you not figure that out. He spells it out in the lyrics
@@LizJasonHEA maybe if they watched the video it would help.I always knew it was the girl making the teacher uncomfortable.Maybe the fact that they are young students themselves they haven’t been put in that awkward position of being chased by an underage girl.It happened to me in my very early 20’s,a girl told me she was 19 but turned out to be 16. Lucky for me,I was a little wary and it didn’t get into a legal situation.
Sting said this about writing the song: “Then there was my love for Lolita, which I think is a brilliant novel. That opened the gates, and out it came: the teacher, the open page, the virgin, the rape in the car, getting the sack, Nabakov, all that." Art is open to interpretation, but I'd say A&A's take on it is accurate to how Sting intended.
Gents, I would react to "Stay With Me" by The Faces, with Rod on lead vocals, before doing any more solo Stewart. It did well in one of your polls, has shown a lot of support from subscribers, and I think it's a good song as well. Then I would return to solo Stewart with "You Wear It Well", his 2nd best known solo song from his classic early '70s period, and I think rightfully so; it's a great song. I'm writing this before seeing your reaction to "Maggie May", and will reply to this comment if I think there's anything I should add or change after seeing your reaction. I'm glad that you're hearing "Maggie May". It's a mega-classic that anyone who wants to learn about '70s rock should hear, if they haven't already.
Yeah, "You Wear It Well"; a little old fashioned, but that's OK.
Stay with Me is a fantastic bar-room brawl of a song!
I agree. "Stay with Me" is a killer song. I lost interest in Rod once he lost interest in Rock & Roll. Face's jammed!
Ever since I saw the movie "Rushmore," my favorite Faces song has been "Ohh la la." Such a cool song.
All of the members of the Faces played on this album. There were contract issues that made this a "Solo" record.
His cover of Cat Steven's "The First Cut Is The Deepest" is a must listen.
Thought he as born down south/London
@@heatherboardman7004 He was .He has never even lived in Scotland.
Born and bred in London to English and Scottish parents. Speaks with a strong west London accent.
OMG I love that madrigal part at the beginning! It almost never gets played on the radio. "Every Picture Tells A Story" was a great album. Every cut is classic!
You guys absolutely have to do “Stay With Me” by The Faces with Rod Stewart. A definite banger with Ronnie Wood on guitar, Ronnie Lane on bass, Ian McClaghan on keys and Kenney Jones on drums
What Peter said.... Go for STAY WITH ME next...!!
Couldn’t agree more, legendary line up.
@michael dowson Their cover is wonderful. Totally agree.
Agree, the live version of the cover of Paul Macartney’s Maybe I’m Amazed is brilliant. The late great Ronnie Lane on bass, Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones) lead guitar and Kenny Jones (replaced Keith Moon as drummer for The Who) and Ian McGlagan on Keyboards.
@michael dowson, A&A should probably do Paul McCartney's Maybe I'm Amazed before they do the Faces cover.
The only reason I never suggested this great song is I can't believe nobody hasn't heard it. Stay With Me by Rod Stewart and Faces, straight up banger! Waiting for Cowgirl in the Sand. Don't leave me hanging!!
That’s why these reaction channels are so great! It is pretty surprising for us and them. Us: Really? Them: What’s this? ROCK ON! 👊
You are so right, Stay With Me is a Banger from the Faces, with Rod on vocals and Ronnie Wood later of the Rolling Stones on guitar
One of those songs that were ubiquitous in the seventies.
Yeah it's amazing how we as older folks can't believe how some people have never some of these classic. Its like saying you never heard Margaritaville....It is that popular across the board
'Every Picture Tells a Story' imo is the best Rod Stewart cut ever.
Probably THE best song about a May/December romance ever written, and DEFINITELY sung, thanks to Rod.
Welcome to the 70’s. The greatest rock ‘n’ roll singer of all time.
Elton John once said "Rod Stewart has the best voice in rock". That's a hell of a great praise.
Tom Jones blows Rod away.
Elton must have been high. What about his friend Freddie Mercury? Nobody beats Freddie IMO.
In Springsteen’s book he writes, “If you were lucky enough to be born with an instrument & the instinctive knowledge to know what to do with it, you are blessed indeed. Even after all my success I sit in envy of Rod Stewart, Bob Seger,, Sam Moore and many other greats who can sing magnificently and know what to do with it. My vocal imperfections made me work harder on my writing, my band leading, my performing and my singing. I learned to excel at those elements of my craft in a way I might otherwise never had if I had a more perfect instrument.” If you haven’t read his autobiography, Born to Run, I highly recommend it!
"The First Cut is the Deepest" to coincide with this one.
Written by Cat Stevens, but I like Rod's version better.
@@donnievick3076 one of Cat’s first songs. Think he was 17 but I might be wrong.
Nope. Cat Stevens' version is best.
@@donnievick3076 Yep! Rod puts more emotion in the song!
You guys really should listen to this album from cover to cover. Masterpiece.
I was 17 and this man was my musical hero. That voice is sublime. Maggie May was where it all started big time for him.
But this was his own story of being 15.
Ps. Listen to The Faces (his band)" Had me a real good time" . You'll love that one. Good time party music.
Rod is classic. "The Killing of Georgie" is a must listen.
Yes, definitely must do 'The Killing of Georgie'
Killing of Georgie is one of the greatest songs by anybody.
Absolutely. A classic!
Not its not
@@jamesmorgan4121 not at all
Rolling Stone magazine said Rod Stewart's voice is one of the unique musical instruments of rock.
One of the most identifiable rock voices of all time... hands down!
One of a kind singer still touring at 77 and had a incredible amount of beautiful women
According to a former Miss World from the 1970s, Rod had 'little' to offer her in exchange, except for fame...😀...
1971 was a humongous year for music. Dozens of classic albums came out including EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY. MAGGIE MAY was huge. Everyone owned the album . A memorable collection of songs. They don't do this anymore.They can't do this anymore.
It was released as a "B" side on the 45. "Reason to Believe" was the single "A"side. I always thought Maggie May was a better song.
I agree that "Maggie May" is the better song of the two, but I think "Reason to Believe" is good too.
@@otisdylan9532 Yeah, it is a good song. When it came out Maggie was more of a rocker so that is probably why I preferred it.
@@davmtu "Maggie May" is just a really great song.
So did everyone else in the free world
It was
I was a senior in high. School that year. Some great music was playing on AM radio including the lovely Maggie May. We could not get enough of her. Memories.
Absolutely 😊
Perfect song for a rainy Autumn day, staring out the window with a hot mug of Joe.
"The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age." Says it all!
Ahh, a comment section not talking politics. This is wonderful.
Biden blows.
Shhhh, don't get them started
@@rubicon-oh9km you're in the wrong place buddy
Bravo!
@@rubicon-oh9km Don't be fooled; they all blow!
"you turned into a lover and, mother! what a lover you wore me out." He is not saying she turned into a lover and mother. He is using mother as an exclamation like damn!
Maggie was a pedo though
Man, Ronnie Wood is a player. The song's melody is beautiful in its own right but his guitar solos and bass playing on this track are perfect compliments.
TONIGHTS THE NIGHT.. was a monster hit for Rod in the 70’s and surprised they actually allowed it on the radio!!!!!
Back then it was more about a song including profanity or drug references which got it banned. There are several songs with adult themes that got through.
@@jamescrane2156 The Knack had several songs that got played on the air but there were a lot of parents that weren’t too happy they got played.
Hey "Do you think I'm sexy" made it and in fact was voted Casey Casey's no 1 song for 1979
I'd love to see you review The Killing of Georgie, one of the first rock songs to address homophobia, in the mid-'70s, when it was risky to take such a stand
. And a very moving song at that
yes!!!! I was scrolling through the comments wondering if I was the only person in the world who knew about the Killing of Georgie. Such an awesome song.
An amazing song, good call
I'd love to see them review 'The Killing of Georgie' too
Stay With Me is an absolute banger. One of the best rock songs ever.
The title song from the album - Every Picture Tells a Story - is another great song with some of the best drumming you'll ever hear. Also from that album is Mandolin Wind,drop dead lovely. Incidently, Maggae Mae came out in around Sept. 1971 and the Faces Stay with Me came out at the end of 1971.
Rod’s vocals from this era are my favorite vocals of any artist, ever. “You Wear It Well” has a similar sound and vibe to this. Can’t await for your Faces reaction too absolute heater
That was a great song also.
Gasoline Alley; Every Picture Tells A Story; Reason To Believe
Reason to Believe is my favorite Rod Stewart song.
Alex, I initially thought you were going to say that Rod Stewart is "into models..."! I laughed because he certainly was!
From the same album - "I'm Losin' You" - just a KILLER rhythm section, the whole way through, as was "Stay With Me".
Interesting. That intro almost never gets played.
I almost thought they were playing a different song by accident at first, lol. I never heard that intro part before.
I was pleased to see that too - points to A&A
It was meant to be a separate piece, but the title was dropped from the credits on some version.
That was the first time hearing that intro. for me.
I'd also never heard that intro before, and didn't know it existed, let alone as part of that song. Like "California Girls" by the Beach Boys, that intro is not indicative of the rest of the song. But "Maggie May" is amazing, especially the ending bell choir. S.
A true rock voice as you can get. Rod does a stellar performance on I Ain’t Superstitious with Jeff Beck.
The first song I thought of that they needed to hear
Also Every picture Tells A Story
Yes! My favourite from Truth.
Great suggestion man!
Woman! Sorry
@@philstone3859 no worries ha!
Every Picture Tells a Story is probably Rod's greatest song. It is a song that tells a story.
Try "Handbags and Gladrags," "Cut Across Shorty," "Every Picture Tells A Story."
Handbags And Gladrags is so good.
YES YES YES!!!
Yes!!! Handbags and gladrags - so many feelings
Yup these and True Blue.
Now you’re talking. The farther back you go with Stewart...the better the music gets. I’m hardcore. “Truth” is Rod Stewart personified for me. Sadly, (IMO) anything after “Never A Dull Moment” is a whitewashed version of the artist I love.
I’m an old guy, and Rod is just a staple of radio during my life. HOW HAVE YOU NOT HEARD THIS? !!! 😂
Well it did get released 30 years b4 they were born :)
yeah its often on the radio in uk now, maybe they odnt listen to local radio
I always liked You wear it well from album Never a dull moment.
love that song although I sang You wear a dress until a girl I was dating laughed at me
He has sold over 200Million records world wide, his knowledge of the great blues singers such as Sam Cooke is remarkable, he is now Sir Rod Stewart
one of the reasons this song was great was the drummer didn t have his whole kit for the recording , played the simple set up and it gave the main charm !!!!
I agree with the “Stay With Me” crowd. FWIW, my favorites are Handbags & Gladrags, Reason to Believe, and the cover of People Get Ready (with Jeff Beck).
Yep. Handbags and Gladrags is definitely one of my all time favorites by RS along with Maggie and a few more mentioned.
You Wear It Well
@@beverlyoyarzun3326 Another good one! 👈
Yep, Handbags!
When Rod was with the Faces “Stay with me” was hot!
When Rod tours these days he actually has a model train set up in his dressing room. A buddy of mine's father met him because he had a train that Rod wanted and while touring he was in town and came to his house to buy the train. He got back stage passes out of the deal.
Absolute banger of a song. Gets better with each listen
Guys, Nov. 10 will be the 45th anniversary of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Maybe as a tribute to the 29 men who died that day you could finally react to the Gordon Lightfoot classic. S-Tier for sure!
Scottish guys, he's Scottish. His early 70s stuff is fabulous.
he's english but likes celtic
Hes English. London born and raised but likes to pretend to be Scottish due to heritage
Summer of 71 had some great songs released. American Pie, Tiny Dancer, LA Woman, Horse With No Name, and the mother of all rock songs-Stairway to Heaven, plus, many more great rock songs were also released that year. And, Rod's song was huge. A monster f****n hit. I'm old as shit now, but I lived during a period when the greatest rock n roll music ever recorded was released. I was one of those who stood proudly with my-Disco Sucks sign, blasting that inane s****y music into oblivion. It took the 'Chicago White Sox and their game on July 12, 1979, during their Disco Demolition Night promotion to finally put an end to that pathetic era of music. I've been playing guitar since my parents bought me my first guitar after seeing the Beatles on Ed's show. I love listening to and playing rock music. It's guided and inspired me throughout my entire life. You guys are great. Love you both for embracing the music of my youth. I salute you. 😊
This is a timeless classic. I never get tired of hearing it. I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert in 2001. He just got better with age.
Happy Friday!🌞 "Sir Roderick David Stewart", or as we know him, Rod Stewart, is one of the biggest selling artists of all time. He was in several bands before making it big in FACES in 1969 with his buddy, Ron Wood. From '67 to '69 he sang with the Jeff Beck Group. Rod was also known to play his harmonica, but it was his soulful, raspy vocals that shot him to stardom with the chart topping single ( from the album, Every Picture Tells A Story, '71) "Maggie May". Rod cowrote this song about losing his virginity at 16 to an older woman. Such a great track. He continues to make new music and new fans. Check out "Tonights The Night", and "Forever Young", and a faster pace song, "Hot Legs". His big hit "Do ya think I'm Sexy", had plenty of Women ( and lots of Men) say "Yes, we do!" to Rod in the late 70's. What a career, what a voice...can you tell I'm a fan? Lol. Cheers!😉
Good job, Lisa!
@@cheripetty1805 thanks Cheri I love Rod
@@lisamorrison2149 I concur 100%!
🍒✌🍁✌🍒
Neil Young was, in fact, co-owner of the Lionel Train Co
“Mandolin Wind”
Yes, he was actually an electronic guru. He was an inventor of some electronics that paved the way to some of the things we use today in the hobby.
@@cnwtrain He has a disabled son with cerebral palsy who loves trains, Neil bought half the company for him.
@@MyrnaMinkoff-yy4qd Yes your right. I remember seeing a huge Lionel layout set up for his son, in an interview with Neil many years ago.
You know this is an introspective song when both of them decide independently to shut their eyes while listening
Any of the pre-disco Rod is golden! "You Wear it Well," "Cut Across Shorty," "Stay With Me." Rarely hear that instrumental prelude.
"I'd Rather Go Blind", A Rod Stewart cover of an Etta James classic
I love his version too
The live version is better than the studio version and the studio versionis brilliant!
More Rod Stewart: Every Picture Tells a Story, The First Cut is the Deepest (ballad), You Wear it Well, Stay with Me (total rocker & one of my faves), Hot Legs.
This was a hugely popular album, Rod Stewart's voice was so unique.
Mandolin wind is the next classic rod you need to play. Loved watching your faces as his attitude of Maggie changed during the song. Great song. Faces were a super band in their day.
Good introduction to the gravel-voiced rocker. Stay with his early songs and avoid his disco pop stuff from late 70s/early 80s. “EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY” and “REASON TO BELIEVE” are personal favorites!
Couldn't agree more!
@@randyhodges8782 Amen
Totally agree!!
Also my two favorite solo Rod songs
NO ONE should ever be subjected to Tonight's the Night. Blech.
"Mandolin Wind"
"Every Picture Tells A Story"
"Rhythm Of My Heart"
Enjoy!
He can blend classical, rock and pop to melt your heart. I get chills every time I hear this.
The Summer after this song came out I remember driving around and this was played about every 4th song on the radio every day all day. One of the few songs I didn't get sick of hearing even though it was so overplayed
"Every Picture Tells A Story" - and so does this song.
I know it is basically considered a one hit wonder but Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" is iconic. It took 9 months to write, He plays more than twenty instruments and the album is a single track covering both sides. Ear candy soundscape. portions were used as the theme for the movie "The Exorcist"
A classic.
@James Strickland
Somebody sent us the vinyl and I listened to it, amazing!
Seeing Oldfield playing it live on the BBC in 73 is amazing✌
I love tubular bells 🔔
Tubular Bells, the original long version. Awesome!
"The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age." Yeah we're talking about an older woman but it's a sweet love song too. Lyrically and musically a masterpiece. And maybe one needs to be a bit older than you lads to fully appreciate it, but it was great watching you experience it.
According to Rod's biography, this song was based on a real encounter he had when he was young. He didn't think it was a good song and it was only included on the album because the album needed one more number. It was originally released as the 'B' side to the single 'Reason to Believe', but...... the rest is history. Brilliant melancholy song with no chorus and no hooks.
I love this song, always have.
Stay With Me & I'm Losing You from his Faces days. And then You're In My Heart which is about the love for his hometown soccer team.
@BadKitty it also is. But Celtic United is the soccer team
I've heard these songs 1000s of times, but putting my headphones on and listening to them with you guys is like they're brand new for me too. Total joy, dudes
“Downtown Train” Rod Stewart. Beautiful song.
Great choice
That bass is in full countermelody mode the whole time!!! Wow, never noticed it in such detail before, and I play bass!!
You need to listen to the songs he did when he was on Mercury Records: Stay With Me, (I Know) I'm Losing You, Every Picture Tells a Story, You Wear It Well, Reason To Believe, Gasoline Alley...all great. Rod has a fantastic voice, one of the best of all time...
‘In a Broken Dream’ - guest vocalists on this Python Lee Jackson song. Unbelievable piece of work. For me, his best vocal ever!!!!!!
Just a beautiful and unique song, I particularly love how the music, lyrics and overall mood just go together.
This was easily my favorite Rod Stewart song. I always loved it.
YEs on the "Stay With Me" which is an early song done with the band, Faces. My other suggestion is for an incredibly moving song that tells a great story entitled "I Was Only Joking".
Rod “The Mod” is a Scot. Have a Glenlivet! Check out ‘You Wear it Well’.
Born in London of a Scots father. A fiercely proud Scot. Once saw him at Wales v Scotland walking to match with the supporters, couple of yards in front of me.
I think the clue is in the surname.
Lyndon Brown technically he's not a Scot as he was Nairn in London to a Scottish father. That being said he is a massive Scotland and Celtic football fan. Rod was a pretty good footballer in his youth and could have gone professional. He still kicks footballs into the audience at his gigs.
or Gasoline Alley
@@ianross5970 “technically” having predominantly Scottish blood makes him a Scot. Semantics my friend.
I never realised "he was Nairn in London ...." Was that when he was nine ?
One of those songs that I first listened to during a special time in my youth and now gets me emotional every time I hear it. The most relatable song ever.
Referring to his many marriages - "I should just give 'em the house first!" I saw him about 15 years ago - he started the concert by kicking soccer balls way up into the audience. He almost became a pro soccer player, very talented.
Saw him in Vegas a couple of yrs ago and he did the same thing.
Played for Brentford, now in the Premier League in England
Rod appeared on James Corden's carpool karaoke a couple of years back where he told a few great stories. One was that Maggie May was about losing his virginity as a teenager to a woman in her 30's. Another story was that, early on in rock, only The Who and The Faces had reputations for destroying hotel rooms. The Faces were banned from Holiday Inn, so they checked in as Fleetwood Mac (who no one knew at the time). 😂
“Reason to believe” is special.Handbags and gladrags is great song too.Great channel guys.
The mandolin licks, and Stewart's honey throated growl make this tune so memorable...grew up on Rod Stewart and Faces. Classic!
Every Picture Tells a Story!
But also The Faces' Ooh La La!
Rod's voice is like dusty gold.
"You Wear It Well" would be good next. Andy's analysis is pretty much spot on and Alex is really good at getting close to how the writer's were feeling or what they may have been going thru in his "makes me feel like" moments. Cracks me up 😅
Good stuff.
They do have a good feeling for these songs, especially since they were all done well before they were born
Great suggestion
Wow, this one brought back memories. My wife and I started dating when this was popular [July '71] and it was on the charts for months. Another similar song by Stewart is 'You Wear It Well'. Stewart also sang with The Jeff Beck Group, in the late 60's.
John June Since this is the wife's tablet I gotta tell ya that my wife and I have the same story. Married 45 yrs. this coming June. After I spent some time in the Navy and some time in school we got married. Have a good day !
My co worker was Maggie! We were both teachers,, sp ed .. I loved this song! I'd sing it her in the morning! Sadly she passed away 2 years ago. RIP Maggie Mae Lewis
