Album Notes & Community Reviews

Powered by the monumental, timeless acoustic-driven smash 'Maggie May', Rod Stewart's third solo album is a flawless masterpiece of British roots rock. 'Every Picture Tells a Story' flawlessly balances wonderfully raw, fiercely energetic blues-rock swagger with incredibly warm, deeply sentimental, and highly passionate acoustic balladry.
