Every Picture Tells a Story
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work
Every Picture Tells a Story · In 1971 Rod Stewart was also the singer of the Faces, and all five band members contribute to his third studio album, which was released in May 1971 on Mercury Records. Ronnie Wood on guitar and bass and Ian McLagan on Hammond organ in particular can be heard a great deal. Others playing include Ray Jackson on mandolin, Martin Quittenton on acoustic guitar and Pete Sears on piano.
The album mixes rock, country, blues, soul and folk. Reason to Believe, a song by Tim Hardin, was intended as the first single, but the B-side Maggie May became the big hit and reached number one in England and America. There is also a version of That's All Right (Mama), Elvis Presley's first single, and a cover of Bob Dylan. The album itself spent six weeks at the top in England and four in America. Critics still praise it, and Mandolin Wind is regarded as the best original song.
