    Album Notes
    Personnel includes: Rod Stewart (vocals, acoustic guitar); Martin Quittenton (acoustic guitar); Ron Wood (guitar, pedal steel guitar, bass); Sam Mitchell (slide guitar); Dick Powell (violin); Pete Sears (piano); Ian McClagan (organ); Danny Thompson, Andy Pyle (bass); Mick Waller (drums); Madeline Bell, Mateus Rose, John Baldry (background vocals).The aesthetic Rod Stewart had been honing over his first three solo albums--an aesthetic that combined folk, hard rock, and R&B swagger--was perfected on EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY. The album's combination of strong, original songs and plum cover versions reveal the artist's range and versatility as he simultaneously paid tribute to mentors and declared his own craft. Members of Stewart's regular group, the Faces, provide intuitive support, making nearly every track shine with passion and edge.Stewart's take-no-prisoners interpretation of the Temptations' "(I Know I'm) Losing You" brought new dimensions to a Tamla/Motown classic. "Maggie May," one of the great pop anthems, is the obvious standout, but the remaining selections, such as "Mandolin Wind" and Tim Hardin's beautiful "Reason To Believe," have a similar sense of purpose. Through it all, of course, is Stewart's soulful, beautifully textured singing, which reaches its pinnacle on these performances, ensuring the artist's standing as one of rock's all-time greatest vocalists. If you buy only one Rod Stewart album, EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY should be it.

    This remastered version is something everyone who THINKS they know Rod Stewart should pick up. This is from when Rod was edgey, and rocking with just the right combination of acoustic presence. Maggie Mae is the track that hit the airwaves and many will remember when hearing it, but there are other masterful touches here. The title track is just searing powerful rock-and-roll storytelling at it's very best. Must be heard to be appreciated.

    Is MFSL worth the money...?

    Created: 07/03/08
    Yes...if you have the equipment to enjoy and understand the vast improvements over the standard version of the cd's. (Although just the head to head comparison vs the standard reccording in your car cd player will let you hear quite a difference.) This Rod Stewart CD is an excellent example of an old analog recording remastered into fantastic digital audio. Still a bit of analog hiss, but it just adds to the realism, beauty an ambience of the music. MFSL does not change the music, they just make it as right as it can be, eminating from the darkest blackest most silent background possible.
    Back to the equipment. You need a cd player that is very , detailed, has the ability to convey the recording space, fast, and rhythmic. I won't put a price on it, do your research, use good cables, use good amplification, and above all use very good speakers. Beware though, even one mfsl cd, could sound bright vs another. For example Hysteria by Def Leppard (bright) vs. Just one Night by Eric Clapton (Almost to smooth, especially for a live show).
    It can often just depend on the genre and the original master.
