Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart perfected his rock, folk, and blues sound on classic Every Picture Tells a Story. The Faces rock hard on "(I Know I'm) Losing You," and "Maggie May" is the standout. Each song, whether original or cover, shines, combining to create an earthy portrait of youthful joy. Covers such as Dylan's "Tomorrow Is Such a Long Time" and Hardin's "Reason to Believe" add new layers. Few albums are as powerful and rich.
