Rod Stewart's singing on Every Picture Tells a Story sounds an awful lot like a male Tina Turner with a dash of Mick Jagger. His singing projects an energy wrapped up in that rasp that propels the rockers and keeps the ballads from being boring. The musicians are utterly fantastic throughout the whole album.

This is a very well done collection of songs that deftly blends rock, folk, and a bit of country. It is rock with soul – a presentation of music that is meant to be felt as well as heard. That said, Every Picture Tells a Story isn't really my cup of tea.
