JEFF BECK GROUP BACKING:
Rod Stewart
An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down
UK (Spaceship) VERTIGO - 847 200 VTY
SCARCE & TOP MINTY CLEAN ...
This album was recorded while Stewart was still handling vocal duties for The Jeff Beck Group, so it stands to reason that if you like them, you'll like this. There seems to be a heavier approach to now only Stewart's vocals, but also with the overall production. And since this was done at a time when Zeppelin, and Cream still to a certain degree were leading the way on "Heavy Blues" that makes sense.
Vintage collectible British pressing of 1970 VERTIGO Lp By ROD STEWART while with the mighty JEFF BECK GROUP... here with his Jeff Beck Group backing members (including Ron Wood) and including guitarist Martin Pugh (STEAMHAMMER) ....in a Nice blend of heavy blues, melodic folk and rowdy rock & roll...
Rod & crew opens the album by jumpstarting “Street Fighting Man,” blowing it out without a hint of self-consciousness ... And it knocks the listeners socks off, starting in the middle, filtering in a crashing break, then hitting and splintering the song with another Stones riff from “We Love You,” before carrying the whole thing back around, making the number his, without even nodding to The Stones.
“No Expectations” shadows “Handbags & Gladrags,” full of despair and heartbreak, restraining the listener with a timing that made me wish the song would go on forever. But more, it proves that Rod was no one-trick-pony, the song is chocked full of emotion, yet never gives over to sentimentalities; marking him as one of the great musical story tellers. “Man Of Constant Sorrow” has to be hands down one of the greatest songs ever written, and Rod places his own guitar right out front, leaving Mr. Wood to edge his way in with a haunting bottleneck, that adds both definition and depth to the vocals, yet was sparse enough to keep that bootneck sound echoing my head for hours ... wishing for more.
The whole album is understated, and therein lies it’s strength ... with Beggar’s Banquet, along with Let It Bleed doing the same thing. An underrated album that is a timeless listen every time, never tiring ....
