-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band

Damn that guy playing the sick bass while clearly tipsy is a whole vibe I wish I was him
Pretty sure it's Ronnie Wood playing bass, slightly tipsy was likely a constant state when not full blown wasted 😊
I have the original album I purchased when it came out in 1976. Complete with liner notes. Ronnie Wood did not play on the album. Interesting….. J Walsh did. The album lists 5 Bass players. It doesn’t list which were on which song.
Here's the bassists listed on the album. Musicians aren't listed for individual tracks, unfortunately. Some legendary bass guitar players though.
Donald Dunn, Bob Glaub, David Hood, Willie Weeks, and Lee Sklar
@@xiamengbaby Yes…. Legendary for sure
In addition to Joe Walsh, Steve Cropper played guitar on this album. If my memory serves me, Donald "Duck" Dunn and Steve Cropper also played in the original Blues Brothers band.
I love Rod Stewart. There is nothing he can’t sing.
One of many great great songs written by Cat Stevens
Mandolin Wind is probably the most heartfelt songs ever sung and the mandolin playing in it was excellent.
Tied with "Handbags & Gladrags" for me.
Reason to Believe
Rod's first few albums are criminally underrated. They deserve a listen.
By who? His third album sold in the millions and is in the top 200 of Rolling Stones greatest 500 albums of all time list. His fourth also sold millions. Both were critically well received. So who is doing the under rating?
@paulhagger3895 If you ask anyone to name a Rod Stewart song besides Maggie May, what older songs would anyone know? Also, I don't know where you're from, but in America, that's the way it is.
@@lourenzi8820 right. I'm from Australia. Rod has had a big fan base here all of his career. Still does. Maybe younger people are less aware of his work, but fans of my vintage would know his material very well. Mandolin Wind, You Wear It Well, Every Picture Tells A Story, Farewell etc etc
@@paulhagger3895 True, but what about his first two albums?
@@chrisbarlow2131 both have sold over a million copies. Both were critically well received. Even Robert Christgau liked them!!
Reason To Believe - Rods best ever song.
But is a Cat Steven song.
@@stefanjonsson7420 Reason To Believe was composed by Tim Hardin and is the best song performed by Rod. Just my opinion.
The First Cut Is the Deepest" is a 1967 song written by British singer-songwriter Cat Stevens
Cat stevens wrote this and that’s my favorite version. Sheryl Crowe did a very good cover also.
Absolute facts.
Spot on mate
Keith Hampshire
❤👏🏻👏🏻
I wish they did a tiny bit of research before playing the songs, instead of guessing.
I haven't yet seen a reaction on "I Was Only Joking" by Rod Stewart. It was a hit.
FYI: This was written by Cat Stevens age 17 in 1965, which he sold fir 30 quid, recorded/ released by him until 1977.
You need to do Reason To Believe. Its so beautiful.
my favourite
Very nice to see a reaction to a old favorite.
Andy and Alex, I don't know if you have checked out "Hot legs", but if not, please do
St. Louis's own Billy Peek playing guitar on that one.
Come on man. That era when Rod naffed off to LA with Britt Eckland and became a schmoozy lounge lizard has to rate as the low point in his career. It was all so cynical and lazy. He has far far better songs to discover.
Absolutely! Hot legs is a great rocking song!
@@haleyfeiger That's like saying Stevie Wonders best song is I Just Called To Say I Love You.
@@chrisbarlow2131Nowhere does it say it's his best song. I just agree with Abe that it is a great song, one of my favorites. That's all
Boy was I in love with Rod Stewart back in the 70s. His raspy voice is so distinguishable you never need to guess if it's him. I think my favorite is You Wear It Well but he's got some great music to check out. Enjoy.
My friend in Wales was- so cut her pony's mane in a Rod Stewart shaggy style. 😂
70's Rod Stewart was the best.
Every Picture Tells a Story is his best solo work - Mandolin Wind brilliant amongst others though of course his finest work was the raw energy and tightness of the band and players when he had his time with The Faces.
If you really want to hear a voice that has been described by critic Damiel Durchholz as "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car" then try Tom Waits.
I would suggest Tom Traubert's Blues (Four Sheets To The Wind In Copenhagen)
This is S tier:
Mandolin Winds
Unplugged
Ron Wood and Rod Stewart

That cut (pun intended), demonstrates Rod Stewart’s musicality perfectly. The soulfulness in his voice could bring tears to your eyes.
Song written by Cat Stevens - supposedly for Otis Redding - but ended up first being recorded by P Arnold. Rod Stewart’s version got a lot of air time. Few can do a song like this better than Rod
This is a remake; Cat Stevens wrote and recorded this in 1967... but Rod Stewart is so fantastic; I love his version more. ❤
There's a song on that incredible album "The killing of Georgie part 1&2" I'm not saying to do a reaction to it because it's not a big track but you guys should listen to it. It's super sad but really amazing song about a gay man who was cast out by his parents, moves to NY to became the talk of the town and is then murdered. It's sad but a really interesting song especially when you think about when it came out. You guys are my favorites you guys kill it!!!
My absolute fav song by this guy.. I think that it's one of the great songs ever written because this is one that I feel I suppose
Anything by Rod Stewart is okay with me !! LOL ♥♥♥
Written by Cat but bought from him (for £13 I think) by P P Arnold who then put it out. Rod's is good but for me hers will always be my favourite. I love Cat singing it himself as well though.
I like the pp arnold version best
Probably the best concert I've ever seen ... Rod Stewart in about '77 ... Of course the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac at about the same time were pretty good ... and I saw Elvis about 6 months before he died and I KNEW I was witnessing history.
Go deeper with Rod Stewart and listen to him with Faces and Stay With Me (1971)
They've done Stay with me
Love you two. So funny too!
I love anything by Rod Stewart but I especially like his earlier songs. He did another amazing cover on “Handbags and Gladrags”.
“Young Turks” and “The Killing of Georgie (Pt 1 and 2) are great songs that pull you in with the story he’s telling. You can never go wrong with Rod.
Cat Stevens wrote this and released his version, which is my favourite. Such a shame that as songwriter, his version isn't the defining one. The man is one of the finest singer songwriters of all time.
His version is my favorite, too.
Love all the versions of this song
Next Rod Stewart: "Handbags & Gladrags" studio version.
I just saw him in concert last night (which is why I'm stalking reactions today). It was a terrific concert and at 79, if anything, if voice is even more powerful and better. By the way, there was a harpist on the stage for this song, so I think he probably had something to do with it being a part of the song. He incorporates a lot of different elements in his music.
I love the harp and this is my first time hearing his rendition of this song and I am happy I discovered it, I have heard most of his other hits and my mom blasted Downtown Train when I was a kid a lot so I am well versed in much of his stuff. Anyways cool thing about my hometown Spokane,Washington is Rod Stewart's son played for our junior league hockey team the Chiefs for a while about 10 years ago I think and for a few years he frequently came here to watch him play. I also loved trains as a kid and for several halloweens I dressed as a train engineer. Maybe Rod Stewart and my mom did that to me. Just like how my dad played The Police and Walking on the Moon and made me a fan of theirs. So I guess my parents are more awesome than I give them credit for sometimes.
Mandolin Wind next! No harps, but we got a mandolin!!
Which is brilliant - Just needed to add this.
Cat Stevens wrote it, and then recorded his own very good version. Later, sweet-vocaled Sheryl Crow picked it up and sang a sweet version. A very good song.
This song was written (both music & lyrics) by *Cat Stevens* in 1965 for sould singer P.P. Arnold who released it in 196 to become her first hit song. It was shortly after that released also by the writer Cat Stevens. Over time it became a hiot song for each of Keith Hampshire, Rod Stewart & Sheryl Crow.. Cat Stevens is, if you didn't catch it yet, the same guy who also wrote Father & Son, Wild World, Peace Train, Oh Very Young, Moon Shadow, Lady D'Arbanville, Bonfire, Where Do The Children Play? and many other memorable hits.
"Hot" Rod - young & raw. Thanks for your reaction.
Nice to see that the GREAT HARP DEBATE of 1976 continues to this day! In '76 the debate spilled into the streets injuring 97 people and sending 6 to jail. In was an ugly time in HARP HISTORY.
Oh I’m so here for this debate!😂
They clubbed a harp seal
Rating it lower because of the harp intro is like dismissing amazing sex because you didn't like the hat they were wearing when they walked in.
But at this point would you expect better from these two? 😂🤦♀️
🤣👍
Original song by Yosef Cat Stevens, this is a Rod Stewart cover. One of my fav Rod Stewart songs.
The harp intro sort of equates to the mandolin intro to Maggie May.
Yes!
One of my favorites. The whole album is great. Try out "The Killing of Georgie". Amazing. You are two cool kids!❤
lol, you listened to this at 3 am, 3 weeks ago. Here I am at almost 3 am (2:35 am) watching your reaction. How cool. (edited ps: Of course, the harp was Rod's idea, I mean he featured a mandolin on Maggy Mae, so why not a harp here? )
Tailored for the Pop charts, it takes out a third line in the build up to the chorus " AND when it comes...." that Cat Stevens wrote into the song!!
Destroys the song, for me.
PLEASE please check out " In a broken dream " with Python Lee Jackson. My fave Rod track
Awesome!
Love a bit of Rod Stewart. I think my favourite has to be You Wear it Well. X
Hand bags and glad rags. Classic song you must give it a listen
My favorite Rod Stewart tune by far, followed by Glad Bags and Hand Rags. Sheryl Crow did a great cover of this song years later
Alex is right. The harp is is spot on!
Gasoline Alley, Mandolin Wind, Handbags and Gladrags, Every Picture Tells a Story.
In my top 5 favorite songs.
Loved the guitar work. I wish the studio musicians were named on records when they make significant contributions to solo songs. Many highly regarded musicians did backing tracks as a side line/as a favour or started as studio musicians eg Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Brian May etc etc.
Harp was cool in 1967, when the Beatles put it on She's Leaving Home.
I think there's some harp in Tonight's the Night. Gotta hit that next.
Every Picture Tells a Story. Enough said.
Great cover
Mandolin Wind ..,The Faces , best RS stuff was with that band, formed out of The Small Faces, Steve Marriot, also of Humble Pie .Best white blues singer ever, died very young
GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING A&A FAMILY!!! ☮️💟♾️
This is S-Tier, all day, every day, for me ! .. My favourite Rod Stewart song ( and a brilliant Cat Stevens cover ), followed by Maggie May, Reason To Believe and You Wear It Well .. And the harp does NOT appear on the single, so I wish you guys had heard that version instead, and avoided all the discussion and over-emphasis on it.
Thank God for the model trains!
I’ve missed AA drunk reactions. Or slightly tipsy ones at least.
If you like rasp you need to hear Jimmy Barnes from the Band Cild Chisel, try their live version of Wild Thing in the the 80's or even better 'Bow River' live in 2003, just awesome.
Rod Stewart is the very best live. He is an awesome entertainer on stage, he never disappoints. You will leave his shows in pure bliss, even if you hated him before going!!!
I was only joking is a nice one from Rod Stewart 🤘✌💞
Who knew a disagreement about a harp or hearing about harp issues could be so entertaining?
Raspy Rod!!
Recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound, just across the river. Good stuff!
Please, more discussion of the harp! You could do an entire video on the harp role in this song.... LoL! Good reaction - loved it!
Nice beer upgrade Alex👍
Here's how it looks like it lands on you guys. Alex is about how it feels and Andy looks like he's doing calculations in his head trying to ascertain *how* they made the song. It's enjoyable as hell to watch. You kids are great.
Python Lee Jackson and Rod Stewart IN A BROKEN DREAM great song
Sheryl crow does a good version of this song
Cat Stevens wrote and recorded the song, then it was covered by Keith Hampshure, then Rod and then Sheryl Crowe , I like all the versions, but my favorite is Keith's...
Andy & Alex the Rod Stewart song to hit next "Hot Legs" 🔥
Ohhhhhhhhh
YEAH.
Love the lyrics to this song. Some of the covers of this by other artists are great, too ...
Every Picture Tells A Story and Reason to Believe are great! You Wear It Well and Mandolin Wind are also great songs!
next to "maggie may" this is probably his second best song. i once heard rod stewart say "i'm doin what they say but i don't know, i guess we'll see". so, i'm thinkin maybe the harp was not his idea. sherryl crow did a great job with it too, "my favorite mistake" may be sherryl crow's best. try it some time. great riff.
There's harp in Stewart's biggest song Do Ya Think I'm Sexy
Harp is the national instrument of Wales
The mandolin playing always gets too me ,I guess it's my southern roots and love of Bluegrass Music and Gospel Music, great song choice gents ❤❤❤
Please give a reaction to years later when he does a duet with Cher, Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. This song is from the 1940's on the Great American Songbook 2. Can't believe how highly and blatantly suggestive this is for the time. One of my all time favorites!
I would guess you’re sharing that beer because it’s the last one. 😂 Fun review guys!
Original is by Cat Stevens, aka Yusef Islam.
Y'all R such Nuts & I love it!! Andy getouttahere 😉.. I'm with u Alex .. harp stays & A+ for me too👍🏼 Remember Rod Stewart isn't American & was raised in London according to records. From my experience as an American born & raised, exposed to various cultures over the years ... I think the British are exposed to a much larger array of classical musical instruments like the harp at a far younger age than us here in America. I too believe RS knew about & wanted the harp in the song here. JS .. So Alex have fun with ur ball of yarn😁
Note: I literally heard the tears being plucked from the guitar strings at about 4:04.
Been a long while since I've heard this one (& the harp - LOL) ... Thanks Andy & Alex .. Cheers Gents 🤘🏼🥃🤘🏼🥃🤘🏼🥃
good one
The first very beatnik intro. 👍🏻
Try Mandolin Wind.
He also loves Soccer, lamps and blondes 😊
Lost Paraguayos is a song everyone passes on but should be checked out… it’s EPIC!
I couldn’t agree more...
Yuengling lager is my fave! Original PA beer!
This is the last Rod Stewart album worth listening to.
Alex, is that a sunburn? Your face is even redder than Andy's when he was listening to Seger's "Night Moves", and that's *really* saying something!
And I'm seeing (and hearing him) this Saturday (22 July 2023). Oh Yeah...............................
Dudes are funny stoned.
And Cat was so young when he wrote this. props to cat Stevens.
Good song
try i dont want to talk about it brilliant song and brilliant guitar solo
Best argument about a harp ever.
You should do Baby Jane as your next Rod Stewart song.
Now you must do the PP Arnold version
