Atlantic Crossing is Rod Stewart's sixth album, released in 1975. It peaked at number one in the UK (his fifth solo album to do so), and number nine on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart.

Rod Stewart's sixth album was called Atlantic Crossing because the singer was literally crossing the Atlantic, making America his new home for reasons of the heart (he was fully enamored with actress Britt Ekland at the time) and the wallet (he was eager to escape Britain's restrictive tax rates). As it happens, 1975 was a perfect time for a new beginning for Stewart: the Faces were falling apart, his last LP, Smiler, wasn't roundly loved, and he had wrapped up his contract with Mercury and signed with Warner, so he completely rebooted, hiring legendary producer Tom Dowd to steer him through a slick, streamlined revamping of his signature sound.

A Night on the Town is Rod Stewart's seventh album, released in 1976. In some ways, it's easy to think of A Night on the Town, Rod Stewart's second album for Warner, as a reprisal of the first, cut with many of the same musicians as Atlantic Crossing, produced once again by Tom Dowd, and even following its predecessor's conceit of having a "Slow Side" and "Fast Side" (granted, this flips the two around, opening with the slow one first). Superficially, this seems true, but A Night on the Town has a crucial difference: despite its party-hearty title, this album finds Stewart folding folk back into his sound, a move that deepens the music tonally and emotionally, particularly in the case of "The Killing of Georgie (Pts. 1 & 2)," Rod's most ambitious original.

Track Listing

01. Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright) (03:56)
02. The First Cut Is The Deepest (04:32)
03. Fool For You (03:49)
04. The Killing Of Georgie (Part I And II) (06:29)
05. The Balltrap (04:38)
06. Pretty Flamingo (03:27)
07. Big Bayou (03:54)
08. The Wild Side Of Life (05:10)
09. Trade Winds (05:18)

Foot Loose & Fancy Free is Rod Stewart's eighth album, released in November 1977 on Riva Records in the UK and Warner Bros in the US. Following the same formula as Atlantic Crossing and A Night on the Town, but not explicitly breaking the record into fast and slow sides, Foot Loose & Fancy Free was a limp effort from an increasingly complacent Rod Stewart. With the exception of the dumb, sleazy "Hot Legs," none of the rockers are discernible from each other, and this time he doesn't have a strong set of ballads to save him. The affectionately sappy acoustic ballad "You're in My Heart" was the big hit, but Stewart sounds completely convincing only on "I Was Only Joking." Coming at the end of the album, the song seems like a justification for the uninspired, by-the-book record that preceded it.

Track Listing

01. Hot Legs (05:16)
02. You're Insane (04:52)
03. You're In My Heart (The Final Acclaim) (04:31)
04. Born Loose (06:04)
05. You Keep Me Hangin' On (07:29)
06. (If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want To Be Right (05:26)
07. You Got A Nerve (05:00)
08. I Was Only Joking (06:08)

Produced by Tom Dowd




Blondes Have More Fun is Rod Stewart's ninth album, released in November 1978. As was the popular musical trend at the time, it is Stewart's foray into disco music, which although commercially successful, was critically divisive. The lead single "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" became one of Stewart's biggest hits, peaking at No.1 in both the UK and US. The album has sold more than 14 million copies worldwide.

Track Listing

01. Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? (05:31)
02. Dirty Weekend (02:36)
03. Ain't Love A Bitch (04:40)
04. The Best Day Of My Life (04:22)
05. Is That The Thanks I Get? (04:33)
06. Attractive Female Wanted (04:17)
07. Blondes (Have More Fun) (03:47)
08. Last Summer (04:05)
09. Standin' In The Shadows Of Love (04:28)
10. Scarred And Scared (04:55)

Produced by Tom Dowd




Foolish Behaviour is Rod Stewart's tenth studio album released on 21 November 1980 and on the Riva label in the United Kingdom (RVLP 11) and on Warner Bros. Records in both The United States (HS 3485) and Germany (WB 56 865). Rod Stewart followed the faux-disco trash of Blondes Have More Fun with Foolish Behaviour, which sanded out most of the character of the previous album. The result was a bland but professional – even at their worst, Rod and his band are always professionals – collection, mainly comprised of dance-oriented, lightly synthesized pop/rock. The passionless "Passion" was the hit, but the only worthwhile song was the gorgeous "Oh God, I Wish I Was Home Tonight," which has the clever wit and self-depreciating melancholy of his finest work.

In the liner notes of the album the following dedication is attributed to Stewart:

This album is dedicated to the following personages:
All those who engage in a little foolish behaviour of a Friday night, All those who enjoy a good laugh and a drink, Those who don’t take life seriously, Scottish Football Supporters wherever they are, Tom Dowd, My band & last but not least, my Offsprings!

Track Listing

01. Better Off Dead (03:07)
02. Passion (05:33)
03. Foolish Behaviour (04:24)
04. So Soon We Change (03:45)
05. Oh God, I Wish I Was Home Tonight (05:01)
06. Gi' Me Wings (03:48)
07. My Girl (04:27)
08. She Won't Dance With Me (02:30)
09. Somebody Special (04:29)
10. Say It Ain't True (04:03)

Produced by Harry The Hook & Rod Stewart




Tonight I'm Yours is the eleventh studio album by Rod Stewart, released in 1981. It features hints of classic rock, pop and new wave. The album had three hit singles, with the title track "Tonight I'm Yours (Don't Hurt Me)" (US Billboard No. 20, US Cash Box No. 15; Canada No. 2), "Young Turks" (US No. 5), and "How Long?" (US No. 49).

Though it lacks a truly great selection of songs, Tonight I'm Yours is a fine latter-day effort from Rod Stewart, and one of the last records that makes Rod sound like he's hip. Sporting a shiny new wave production, Tonight I'm Yours has a sleek, professional sound that can make even mindless rave-ups like "Tora, Tora, Tora (Out With the Boys)" a guilty pleasure. But the key to the album lies in songs like "Tonight I'm Yours" and the haunting "Young Turks," where Rod sounds totally at ease with a synth pop beat. They are some of the best examples of mainstream rock co-opting the nervy, quirky appeal of new wave, and they make Tonight I'm Yours an enjoyable, if lightweight, listen.

Track Listing

01. Tonight I'm Yours (Don't Hurt Me) (04:13)
02. How Long (04:14)
03. Tora, Tora, Tora (Out With The Boys) (04:32)
04. Tear It Up (02:29)
05. Only A Boy (04:10)
06. Just Like A Woman (03:58)
07. Jealous (04:33)
08. Sonny (04:04)
09. Young Turks (05:03)
10. Never Give Up On A Dream (04:23)

Produced by Rod Stewart & Jim Cregan




Body Wishes is a studio album released by Rod Stewart on 10 June 1983. It was Stewart's 12th studio album and was released on Warner Bros. Records (WEA 92-3877-1). Body Wishes peaked at #5 in the UK where it went platinum on 18 July 1983. In the United States it failed to reach a sales certification, but did chart at #30.

Body Wishes has received poor reviews. Rolling Stone magazine, at the time of its release, gave it 2 out of 5 stars, calling it "his latest and surely one of his least", although they did praise the opening song, "Dancin' Alone", calling it "a Chuck Berry-styled Rock & Roller that is both lively and witty". Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic retrospectively gave the album 1.5 out of 5 stars, calling it "one of Rod Stewart's worst efforts." In the same review, "Baby Jane" and "What Am I Gonna Do (I'm So in Love with You)" are described as "first-rate, synth-laden pop/rock filler" only sounding "substantial" in comparison to the other songs on the album.

Track Listing

01. Dancin' Alone (04:02)
02. Baby Jane (04:44)
03. Move Me (03:36)

Camouflage is a studio album released by Rod Stewart on 18 June 1984 (see 1984 in music). It was Stewart's 13th studio album and was released on Warner Bros. Records (WEA 925 095-1). Three singles came from this album. They were "Infatuation", "Some Guys Have All the Luck", and a cover of the Free hit "All Right Now". The album marked a reunion of sorts between Stewart and Jeff Beck, who plays guitar on several tracks, as the two had been members of the influential 1960s group The Jeff Beck Group.

Track Listing

01. Infatuation (05:16)
02. All Right Now (04:42)
03. Some Guys Have All The Luck (04:34)

Every Beat of My Heart is an album by Rod Stewart. It is his fourteenth studio album, released in June 1986 (see 1986 in music). It was released on Warner Bros. Records (WX 53 / 925 446-1). Included on this album is the song "Love Touch", which gained popularity as the theme to the Robert Redford film Legal Eagles. "Love Touch" was written by Holly Knight, Mike Chapman, and Gene Black. The album also includes a cover of Lennon–McCartney's "In My Life", one of several times Rod covered them. It was released as a single which failed to chart.

Out of Order is the fifteenth studio album by Rod Stewart, released in 1988. It features the hit singles "Lost In You", "Forever Young", "My Heart Can't Tell You No", and "Crazy About Her". The album reached #20 on the Billboard 200, eventually going 2x Platinum record, which made it Stewart's best-selling album of the 1980s.

The album was considered by many critics a return to form after a series of less successful albums. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic called it "well-constructed", and Rolling Stone magazine called it a "confident, well-written, high-voltage work". Robert Christgau, however, gave it a C, unfavorably comparing the album to the work of The Power Station.

02. The Wild Horse (05:02)

A Spanner in the Works is a studio album released by Rod Stewart on 26 May 1995. It is Stewart's seventeenth studio album and ended a four-year gap since his previous studio album. At the time it was Stewart's longest break between albums.

The album includes covers of Bob Dylan's "Sweetheart Like You" and The Blue Nile's "The Downtown Lights". The song "Muddy, Sam, And Otis", is his tribute to Muddy Waters, Sam Cooke, and Otis Redding. Track 12, later released as a single featuring the Scottish Euro '96 Football Squad, "Purple Heather" is a folk song that normally goes by the name "Wild Mountain Thyme". It is often credited as traditional, but was written by The McPeakes. "Leave Virginia Alone" was written by Tom Petty and recorded for his album Wildflowers, but was left off the finished album and given to Stewart instead.

Human is a studio album released by Rod Stewart on 12 March 2001. It was Stewart's nineteenth studio album and first, and only release, on Atlantic Records (Atlantic 7567-83411-2), a sister label to his previous label Warner Bros. Records. Besides being Stewart's first album on Atlantic, Human is his first album not to feature an original Stewart track. Of note is track 3, "Don’t Come Around Here", where Stewart is joined by Helicopter Girl.

Throughout his career, Rod Stewart has been remarkably skillful at adopting current musical trends, whether it was disco, new wave, adult contemporary, or even Brit-pop. Still, his records started to slip off the radar screen toward the end of the '90s, so he parted ways with Warner Bros. and signed to Atlantic, where he released Human in early 2001. Again, he tried to change with the times, which, theoretically, may have been a wise move, since his thoroughly credible trad rock When We Were the New Boys was largely ignored. Since he tried contemporary rock, it made sense that the pendulum would swing back and he would take a stab at contemporary soul.

Track Listing

01. Human (03:48)
02. Smitten (05:00)
03. Don't Come Around Here (with Helicopter Girl) (03:49)
04. Soul On Soul (04:31)
05. Loveless (04:00)
06. If I Had You (04:18)
07. Charlie Parker Loves Me (04:41)
08. It Was Love That We Needed (04:12)
09. To Be With You (03:56)
10. Run Back Into Yours Arms (03:26)
11. I Can't Deny It (03:44)

Produced by Gregg Alexander, Karl Gordon, Dennis Charles, Mark Taylor, Christopher Neil, Graham Stack, Brian Rawling, Danny Kortchmar
