ROD STEWART "atlantic crossing" cd, 1975
his sixth of 32, i own 24 or 25 i guess...
from the box set containing around 14 studio albums from this one in 1975 thru to 2001's "human"...
the first side (on vinyl) is the "fast side", the second side is called the "slow side"...any guesses why?....
so the rockers take up the first half then in comes crooning/balladeer Rodney, and that is the side of his music i like best...
as is typical of his material there are almost half the tracks that are covers (he was a great covers artist IMO!)...
the covers are:
Isely Brothers' "this old heart of mine".
Crazy Horse's "i dont want to talk about it"
Sutherland Brothers' "sailing"
Doby Gray's "drift away"....
nothing wrong with any of the covers, in fact he made them his own as he 'owns them' now....
good solid collection of tunes IMO....
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
we all know the major hits off this so heres the excellent opening track this time round:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.
