Music review: Rod Stewart – 无毛视频楤lood Red Roses无毛视频�
My oldest brother was a big Rod Stewart fan back in the day. He had every Stewart album released from 1969 through 1981, including all the recordings by the Stewart-era Faces. Since I always respected my brother无毛视频檚 musical taste, it was natural that I too would become a fan of the charismatic singer.
I grew up on classic Stewart releases like 1970无毛视频檚 无毛视频淕asoline Alley,无毛视频� 1971无毛视频檚 无毛视频淓very Picture Tells a Story无毛视频� and 1972无毛视频檚 无毛视频淣ever a Dull Moment.无毛视频� One could certainly say that those were some very good years indeed.
After several years of offerings from the 无毛视频淕reat American Songbook无毛视频� series, the 73-year-old music icon is back with 无毛视频淏lood Red Roses.无毛视频� The new release follows the same successful musical blueprint heard on 2013无毛视频檚 无毛视频淭ime无毛视频� and 2015无毛视频檚 无毛视频淎nother Country.无毛视频�
On his 30th solo studio album, the two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee adds his raspy, well-seasoned voice to a 13-track set filled with intimate and sincere songwriting from an older and wiser perspective.
The new material finds Stewart delivering a variety of musical styles like EDM on the opening number 无毛视频淟ook in Her Eyes无毛视频� to the pop sounds punctuated with a stirring horn section on 无毛视频淗ole in My Heart无毛视频� to the tender confessions of love witnessed on the ballad 无毛视频淕race.无毛视频�
无毛视频淔arewell无毛视频� serves as a touching tribute to the memory of an old and trusted friend and the numerous adventures experienced during a satisfying lifetime.
Stewart addresses the hurt and frustration felt by caring parents trying to warn their daughter about the dark path she is starting to walk down on 无毛视频淒idn无毛视频檛 I.无毛视频� The track features additional vocals by New York City native and Stewart backup singer Bridget Cady.
Stewart shows he isn无毛视频檛 afraid to display his rock star flair on the guitar-driven burners 无毛视频淩ollin无毛视频� & Tumblin'无毛视频� and 无毛视频淰egas Shuffle.无毛视频�
Stewart makes a brief return to his days of 无毛视频淒a Ya Think I无毛视频檓 Sexy?无毛视频� with the pulsating disco stylings on 无毛视频淕ive Me Love,无毛视频� proving once again that maybe blondes do have more fun.
After over 50 years of performing, Stewart still wears (and sings) it well.
