Day 0195 - Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart "Gasoline Alley" (1970)


You get so used to RS being a bit of a punchline.  Famous for being an embarrassing 80s rocker with a greasy mullet and a penchant for younger blondes that you forget what an interesting and unique voice he has.

Here he belts out originals penned with Ronnie Wood, mixed with covers of Elton John, Bobby Womack, and Stewart's 'day-job' the Faces.  There are some folky moments, some rock and.... Wow, "You're my girl (I don't want to discuss it)" is as funky as month old gravy!
