Rod Stewart- Every Pictures Tells a Story @55- 7-25

“If you would’ve told me in 1970 that I would have a #1 hit in America…well, all around the world, actually…I’d have said ‘Forget it!’ ” admits Rod Stewart dismissively about  Every Picture Tells a Story, “especially since ‘Maggie May’ almost didn’t make the record!”

Now that’s just one revelation in my charming classic rock interview commemorating Rod Stewart’s breakthrough Every Picture Tells a Story in May 1971, which also contained “Mandolin Wind”, impeccable choices of covers from Bob Dylan (“Tomorrow is a Long Time”), Motown (“I Know I’m Losing You”), Tim Hardin (“Reason to Believe”), and the slammin’ autobiographical “Every Picture Tells a Story”.
