ROD STEWART
BIOGRAPHY
Rod Stewart may have began his career as a respected singer, yet that respect eroded as he got older, as he became more concerned with stardom than music. While he has recorded some terrible albums -- and he would admit that freely -- Stewart was once rock & roll's best interpretive singer, as well as an accomplished songwriter, creating a raw combination of folk, rock, blues, and country that sounded like no other folk-rock or country-rock. Instead of finding the folk in rock, he found how folk rocked like hell on its own. After Stewart became successful, he began to lose the rootsier elements of his music, yet he remained a superb singer, even as he abandoned his own artistic path in favor of following pop trends.
After involvement with a number of bands, Rob Steward joined the Jeff Beck Group at the end of 1966 and began his climb to stardom. Stewart and the former Yardbird guitarist pioneered the heavy blues-rock team of a virtuoso guitarist and a dynamic, sexy lead vocalist which became the standard blueprint for heavy metal. Truth, the band's debut album, was released in the fall of 1968, becoming a hit in both America and Britain. The Jeff Beck Group toured both countries several times in 1968 and 1969, gaining a dedicated following. In the summer of 1969, they released their second album, Beck-Ola, which became another hit record in both the U.S. and U.K. However, the group fell apart in the fall. Next, Stewart was part of the group Faces and also worked solo.
In 1971, his third solo album, Every Picture Tells a Story (featuring "Maggie May"), made Rod Stewart a household name, reaching number one in both America and Britain. The following year, while still a part of Faces, Stewart released his fourth solo album, Never a Dull Moment, which nearly replicated the success of Every Picture Tells a Story, peaking at number two in the U.S. and number one in the U.K. At the end of 1975, Stewart left the Faces and the band finally called it quits.
A number of successful albums followed, including 1976's A Night on the Town, Foot Loose and Fancy Free (released the following year), 1978's Blondes Have More Fun, 1981's Tonight I'm Yours.
