Rod Stewart

I was calling him the Barry Manilow of today's music or of my generation.

Well, he finally released a new CD that is a throw back to the early days when he was making Maggie May(Every Picture Tells A Story) and Gasoline Alley.  Two great albums from the 70s that helped define him.  He did record some good albums with the Faces that were a little more hard rocking.  In the 80s he tried disco and some of it sucked (like most music from that time).  In the 90s,  I guess he took a break because he never went into alternative.  Than we had that awful streak of him dong standards in the style of Barry Manilow!!  Singing really old tunes from the 40s and 50s with orchestra.

Well, I am glad to see him come back into the fold and I will have to check his new CD out.  I always liked his voice and the way it fit his music.  He had good musicians around him and usually chose some great tunes from other songwriters plus wrote some good ones himself.  Hope he is back to stay.
