    Anybody who is only familiar with "post-1975 solo Rod Stewart" could be forgiven for prejudging, but his earlier solo albums were so completely different from his later work that it boggles the mind to understand how (or why) he would have chosen to change the way that he did. Oh, money? Hmm, I hadn’t thought of that. But a lot of people adapt to cultural change without disowning their natural abilities and rare talent for interpretation.

    “Every Picture Tells A Story” is, by far, the best solo work of Rod Stewart’s lifetime. In the ensuing fifty years, he never even came close to making anything nearly as good as this. Yes, “Maggie May” was an incredible hit for its time, capturing the indelible image of age creeping up on two generations simultaneously, but it barely tells half the story of why this album is such a heartfelt, intelligent and rocking masterpiece.
