ROD STEWART "atlantic crossing" cd, 1975 #1 UK, #1 AU, #9 US, #21 CAN

one of only handful of Rod Stewart albums i own, the others are Camouflague,Body Wishes,Blondes Have More Fun,Vagabond Heart,Tonight's The Night and Every Picture Tells A Story...
i thought i loved this album but it appears not, i would have, but i dont like his cover od "drift away" and "stone cold sober", the rest of the tracks are either very good or brilliant IMO.
this one contains the mega-million selling single "sailing" and another hit "this old heart of mine", but my favourite one on here is the Crazy Horse cover "i dont want to talk about it" which they released on their debut self titled album around 1971ish...Rod's cover would rate as one of my favourite cover versions ever...
not my favourite album by Rod, but it sure comes close!
also, recently heard several tracks off his latest album called "time", that one sounds pretty good IMO, well, against his recent series of covers albums it would!
