Artist Spotlight: Rod Stewart

It's always a shame when later stumbles begin to obscure a talented artist's earlier triumphs. The beauty of being a site like the Daily Vault, though, is that we don't care if your best album came out yesterday or in 1971; we'll review either one with the same gusto and attention to detail. This week on the DV, faithful scribe Mark Millan returns to cover a series of classic albums from the heyday of British blues-rocker Rod Stewart, long before he cashed in his considerable musical cred to ask if you thought he was sexy. Beginning with today's review of Every Picture Tells A Story, Mark will deliver reviews of four Stewart classics from the early to mid 1970s, plus one of his less embarrassing albums from the mostly forgettable '80s. Enjoy the ride...
