Free Music Review: The Best Rock Singer Ever
Hit: 5 Stars

Back in the day, Rod Stewart was, quite simply, the best rock singer in the world. If that sounds like a grand claim, pick up this CD and listen. Case closed. A lot of younger people listening to Rod's most recent output must wonder why he was once so revered. I'd say the first 20 seconds of this album would be a pretty good clue. As Rod rips into "True Blue", it's the start of a powerhouse album of great rock singing. Essential from start to finish. "You Wear It Well" may have been the (deservedly) big hit here, but the rest of the material is outstanding.

Of course, nobody would have noticed if the material and the support from the band weren't consistently excellent. They are. This album is astonishingly good from start to finish. The only song that didn't grab me from the start was the cover of Sam Cooke's "Twistin' the Night Away", played quite slower than the original. Now I realize it was just that this song about twisting was reinterpreted as a hard rock song. Not really twistable, but darned good nevertheless.

Arguments about whether this or "Every Picture Tells A Story" are Rod's best album are irrelevant. If you're a serious fan of Rock music and you don't own both, you're doing yourself a diservice.

Never a Dull Moment Poster

2008 Vinyl pressing reissue of Rod Steward's second album, released in 1971, hit Number 1 in the UK and US. His songs 'You Wear It Well' and 'Twisting the Night Away' , were huge international hits as well and it is easy to see why after giving 'Never A Dull Moment' a spin. His own special brew of Folk Rock is rock solid on this album. This is Rod Steward at his creative peak still sounding his very best.

The fourth Rod Stewart album to contain his trademark acoustic-electric mix of instruments and bluesy vocals, Never a Dull Moment feels anything but formulaic, kicking off with the aw-shucks modesty of "True Blue" and rollicking on through the enduring original "You Wear It Well." Some of the best tunes here are covers--Bob Dylan's searching "Mama You Been on My Mind," a soulful reading of Sam Cooke's "Twistin' the Night Away," and a scorching take on Etta James's "I'd Rather Go Blind"--but, as always, Stewart manages to make them sound of a piece with his own compositions. Unlike the promises proffered by some album titles, Never a Dull Moment (ironic though it was, given the cover painting of a terminally bored Stewart) proved to be dead-on. --Daniel Durchholz
