Rod Stewart Reason To Believe

Disc of the day

By far Rod Stewart's best solo release, it was Every Picture Tells A Story that spawned solo success and began Stewart's slow divorce from the Faces. Released between The Faces' Long Player and the quintet's strongest studio effort, A Nod Is As Good As A Wink... To A Blind Horse, 1971 was certainly a stunning year for the man Elton John calls Phyllis.

Opening with the Rod Stewart/Ron Wood penned title track, an instant classic with its compelling groove and globe-trotting antics ("Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough of the things that keep a young man alive") Every Picture... weaves a picaresque spell. While dwelling ruefully over missed chances, heartache and rejection (his stab at The Temptations' (I Know) I'm Losing You rather says it all) it feels like a celebration, an album to turn to when the sun is shining and the windows are open. Stewart's transformation of Bob Dylan's intimate Tomorrow Is A Long Time into a sprightly anthem is a typically rambunctious gambit, and the similarly careening, self-written Mandolin Wind is a triumphant blend of beautiful folk melody and Stewart's rollicking rock energy.

With the Faces' musicianship featured heavily throughout, it boasts their trademark spirit and sway. The accidental hit single Maggie May, originally included as a B-side to the Tim Hardin cover, Reason To Believe, made Stewart a coveted solo act. Though this feat would conclude in the group's untimely demise, Every Picture Tells A Story can also be considered a toast to what they could accomplish together, even under the title of a Rod Stewart album.
