ROD STEWART "an old raincoat wont ever let you down" cd, 1969
his debut solo album...
in early '69 Stewart left the Jeff Beck Group to join the newly formed Faces but inbetween he recorded this solo album...
so what we have is an album that contains an almost 'who's-who' of London's blues muso's including Keith Emerson, Mike D'Abo, Ronnie Wood, Ian McLagan and Jeff Beck.
the album contains just eight tracks and half were written or co-written by Rod Stewart...
its rootsy, its bluesy, its rough and ragged, theres three covers and a a traditional folk tune on here...
it is a really solid album IMO and shows just how good he was even in the early years
album peaked at #39 here in Australia and #189 in the US but failed to chart in his homeland.
