Once upon a time, Rod Stewart was not vamping indiscriminately about "Hot Legs" and asking "D'ya Think I'm Sexy?" He was a singer with a gravel-voice approximation of Sam Cooke and excellent taste in cover material. Here, he's toned down with folksy covers of Tim Hardin ("Reason to Believe"), Bob Dylan ("Tomorrow is Such a Long Time"), and Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup (via Elvis, "That's All Right Mama"). He tops his interpretive abilities with two originals that have since become standards ("Maggie May, " "Every Picture Tells A Story"). Quite a different Rod from the one the world has come to know. --Rob O'Connor

That voice; none other like it. You always know when it's him and he pretty much always sounded that way. To those who did know him before this album, he was the voice of The Faces, and before that the voice on the harder and bluesy numbers on The Jeff Beck Group's first two albums; on those two a real shouter. And if you have any of the collections that contain some early rarities you know even then, he sounded like Rod Stewart. There have been other ragged voices, but none with the effect of Rod's. How he does it is a mystery. Sinatra would read the lyrics of a song as if they were a play and act them out. Rod Stewart seems to get deep inside the lyrics somehow so they flow through him and come out with a depth and sincerity beyond a mere vocalist's intonation. It's a mystery.
Everything he had done before came miraculously together in this album, the band perfectly together, the material a perfect mix of folk, rock, country and soul and the singer giving his all in every song. It became a monster of a success, reaching number one and becoming one of the year's biggest albums. From the rocking opening of the title song through the delicate breeziness of Mandolin Wind to the intense soulfulness and fully rocking Faces backup of the Temptations' hit (I Know) I'm Losing You, every song is unique and memorable. It was one of those albums whose huge success was matched by its artistry.
It's no surprise that an album like this contained a single that was one of the biggest hits of the decade and even of the whole era, and it's also no surprise that the single had its own rather miraculous story. Maggie May was almost dropped from the album since it had no chorus to hook a listener, had downer lyrics and was long on top of it all. But then someone noted the album would be awfully short without it and there was no time to record new material. Tim Hardin's Reason To Believe was chosen as the single and Maggie May was thrown on the "B"-side. Then the Legend began. The "A"-side got some airplay, then a disc jockey in Cleveland played Maggie May and there was a big response and others followed suit. By Fall it was one of the biggest hits of all time.
Maggie May was one of those hits, like Downtown, like Satisfaction, like Hey Jude, that transcend even the term Monster Hit and become practically a phenomenon of its own. You couldn't go anywhere in the Fall of '71 and not hear Maggie May. Everybody was playing it: AM Top 40 radio, AM Adult-Contemporary radio and FM where the announcer didn't talk through Martin Quitenton's beautiful classical guitar introduction. Every friend seemed to have the album. And it had one other special thing going for it. More than most any other big hit song, Maggie May seemed to go with, accompany and even encapsulate the season of the year when it was a hit. It was luminous. The country fiddles, acoustic guitars, organ, Rod's voice and the exuberant mandolin playing of Ray Jackson all created the perfect Autumn song, a song that went so well with sunny October days, autumn colored leaves and chilly nights that it's never been equaled in this way. The song sounded like a Harvest Festival in full swing, despite the unhappy lyrics.
The album sounds as fresh today as it ever did, and probably always will because it went with a sound that was already old in its way and avoided anything that was new and hip in 1971. True, it so magnified Rod's career and presence that it led to the breakup of The Faces, but that was bound to happen anyway. His long career would have many high points but I don't think he ever topped this.
I recently got this album out, after getting a new stylus for my Technics turntable, and played it on my decent Pioneer system that I had gotten in college. Everyone tells me to get rid of the components because "no one uses them any more." Well, it still kicks out good sound and as long as I have room for it, I'm keeping and enjoying the hell out of it!
I put this album on and whoa, I had forgotten how Rod had really rocked in his early days. With his raspy voice and Ronnie Wood on guitar, this album is such a classic.
So, since I have been playing it almost non-stop, I decided it was finally time to put the album back with the rest of my scratched collection and purchase a remastered version. And now I'm enjoying the hell out of the new one!
A lot of the reviews on here contain deep thoughts about the tracks, etc. Well, I doubt if any of the reviewers ever wrote for Rolling Stone, and I certainly have not, so I won't bore you with any attempt at it.
So just enjoy the hell out of this classic!

La particularidad de esta edición hecha en República Checa es la siguiente: repite los hidden tracks. Este album tiene dos canciones escondidas: "Amazing Grace" al final de "That's All Right" y una pieza de guitarra clásica antes de "Maggie May". Bueno, pues estas dos canciones se repiten! Así es, acaba y vuelve a empezar. Como que los checos quisieron dejarlas tanto en el track en el que están escondidas y de manera individual. Para mí fue super raro escuchar dos veces el inicio de "Maggie May", hasta pensé que estaba oyendo un CD y estaba en "repeat" y luego ya recordé que era un LP....
Este error (o par de errores) realmente no es tan incómodo, las dos piezas se oyen bien si se alargan un tanto más. De hecho, esta edición puede valer una buena lana en el futuro por estos errores.
Están avisados.
