Rod Stewart: Gasoline Alley
Bud Scoppa, Circus, July 1970
IT'S BECOMING increasingly obvious that Rod Stewart is an unusually gifted singer and writer. His new album, Gasoline Alley, even more than his first solo effort and the reformed Small Faces LP, make it clear that Stewart is an artist of originality and sensitivity as well as power.
