MOG Editorial Review

Equally comprised of covers and originals, Rod Stewart's third solo album after leaving the Faces was nothing short of a masterpiece, combining his tendency to shift between bluesy rock and folk into one cohesive package. The title track opens the album perfectly, beginning with strums that make you expect an acoustic ballad before launching into one of the harder-hitting spots of Every Picture Tells a Story. Elsewhere, he gives sentimental, intimate take on Bob Dylan's "Tomorrow Is a Long Time" and his self-penned "Maggie May," while his covers of Arthur Crudup's "That's All Right" and the Temptations' "(I Know) I'm Losing You" show that he's still capable of having a hard edge despite the soft-rock associations many peg on him today. The '70s were a fruitful time for Stewart, amd Every Picture Tells a Story represented the peak of it without a doubt.
AMG Review of Every Picture Tells a Story

All Music Guide

Without greatly altering his approach, Rod Stewart perfected his blend of hard rock, folk, and blues on his masterpiece, Every Picture Tells a Story. Marginally a harder-rocking album than Gasoline Alley -- the Faces blister on the Temptations cover "(I Know I'm) Losing You," and the acoustic title track goes into hyper-drive with Mick Waller's primitive drumming -- the great triumph of Every Picture Tells a Story lies in its content. Every song on the album, whether it's a cover or original, is a gem, combining to form a romantic, earthy portrait of a young man joyously celebrating his young life. Of course, "Maggie May" -- the ornate, ringing ode about a seduction from an older woman -- is the centerpiece, but each song, whether it's the devilishly witty title track or the unbearably poignant "Mandolin Wind," has the same appeal. And the covers, including definitive readings of Bob Dylan's "Tomorrow Is Such a Long Time" and Tim Hardin's "Reason to Believe," as well as a rollicking "That's All Right," are equally terrific, bringing new dimension to the songs. It's a beautiful album, one that has the timeless qualities of the best folk, yet one that rocks harder than most pop music -- few rock albums are quite this powerful or this rich.
