THE DEFINITIVE ROD STEWART is an excellent two-disc set that covers the full span of Rod Stewart's solo career from 1971 to 2004, and throws in a couple of tracks by his 1970s band, Faces, for good measure. All the hits are here, from "Maggie May" to two tracks from his acoustic MTV Unplugged performance, along with one new song, "Two Shades of Blue." THE DEFINITIVE ROD STEWART was also released in a three-disc special edition that includes a bonus DVD containing 14 classic music videos.
Rod Stewart first gained notoriety as vocalist in the Jeff Beck Group in the late 1960s. He went on to sing for raucous bar-room rockers the Faces and started a simultaneous solo career that eventually eclipsed that of his band. Moving from folk-rock through pop, disco, jazz and more, Stewart carved out a multi-decade career as a strutting, soul-influenced singer with equal amounts of talent and charisma, and piled up an astonishing number of hit singles and platinum albums. Stewart's career has seen more than one rebirth; in 1993 his acoustic UNPLUGGED performance brought him renewed acclaim as a sensitive song interpreter. Ten years later, with the help of Clive Davis, he gained even more notoriety as a smooth crooner of orchestrated jazz standards.
