Evocative, low-key and rustic: Gasoline Alley finds Stewart at his peak

No matter what era or phase of Rod Stewart you prefer, nearly everyone is unanimous in choosing the artist's early 1970s output as his very finest. Proof comes courtesy of Gasoline Alley. A 1970 record that literally set the template for all folk-rock efforts that followed, the critically acclaimed album remains a blueprint for evocative vocals, low-key presentation and incredible interpretation.

Barely removed from his debut, Stewart comes into his own on Gasoline Alley, essentially a largely "unplugged" record on which the singer surrounds himself with a transcendent blend of acoustic guitars, mandolin, fiddle, piano and understated percussion and channels the music with a gritty, rock 'n' roll attitude. The results? Tough, organic, warm, swaggering and unfettered songs that bow to country, rockabilly, blues and folk influences all the while managing to belong to their own genre. It's just one of the reasons why Gasoline Alley remains a study in distinctive excellence.

One of rock's true masterpieces, this stunning sophomore effort was released in September 1970 to unanimous accolades and went No. One on the Billboard Pop Album chart. Utilizing the studio more in overall production than on their debut (especially in mixing and using cross-fades) the band and producer Fred Catero (Janis Joplin, BS&T, Chicago) still maintained the street energy and ethnic roots, while elevating Carlos' guitar passages to god-like status; resulting in the pinnacle of their album output. Wicked re-worked arrangements of songs as dichotomatic as the connecting of Peter Green's "Black Magic Woman" with Gabor Szabo's "Gypsy Woman" in medley, followed directly in sequence on side one with Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va" was both brilliant and on-par with anything going down in music at the time, period.
