Rod Stewart - An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down (UK) PBTHAL (1970 - Rock) [Flac 24-96 LP]
It takes balls to open your debut album with a cover of The Rolling Stones 'Street Fighting Man' but
Rod Stewart and his accompanied band absolutely smash it.
Gritty, sloppy and alive - just how I like my rock to be. I think I'll be saying this on each of
Stewart's first four albums, but people have really forgotten how good he was.
There is no messing about on An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down; he blends rock, blues and folk
remarkably well and with a sense of experience.
A blueprint for his later and likewise brilliant works: Raunchy and groovy on the rocking tracks,
heartfelt and sensitive on the folky tracks and of course that distinctive smoky voice.
Instrumentally you can hear that his band understands rock better than most bands.
As sloppy as the arrangements might sound they do take care with the small details.
The majority of the tracks, or at least the better ones are covers but they perform these with
flair and punch.
'Handbags & Gladrags' is a classic; intricately flourished with piano and Stewart's performance is
sincere and full of emotion.
The opening song, much like the title track is a stomping catchy number that shows that he did have
skill as a songwriter.
