5.0 out of 5 stars Sail Away With this One, April 4, 2001

This review is from: Atlantic Crossing (Audio CD)

Atlantic Crossing was Rod Stewart's first release on the Warner Brothers labeland he recorded most of it at the famous Muscle Schoals Studio in Alabama. The album has a gritty, R&B edge, but is balanced out nicely by some ballads. "Three Time Loser", "Alright For Another" & "Stone Cold Sober" has a delta blues sound to them, while his cover of Dobie Gray's "Drift Away" has a Stax Records vibe. He does his original take on The Isley Brothers' "This Old Heart Of Mine" here and he does a heartbreakingly beautiful rendition of Danny Whitten of Crazy Horse's "I Don't Want To Talk About It". "Sailing" was not a hit in America, but was absolutely humongous in the UK. It is his biggest hit by far over there. Atlantic Crossing was a nice bounce back after the disappointing Smiler and a great start to his warner Brothers career.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Period of Transition, November 12, 2000

Stewart's first recording for Warner Brothers, this set is satisfying but no match to his finest Mercury output (most notably "Every Picture Tells A Story").

That said, for those who bought the original CD (which was extremely hissy and flat), this remastering is a *revelation*! 24-bit audio (not listed on the outside of the packaging) and a very obvious attention to detail make the upgrade a no-brainer (the other Stewart remasters are similarly striking).

Hear Rod's Muscle Shoals effort like you've never heard it before. Musically, it's above par. Sonically, it's never been better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Rod in new package with mega-bonus tracks, July 4, 2009

By 

Shaun Tatarka "rodstewartblogcom" (Montana) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Atlantic Crossing (2 CD Limited Edition) (Audio CD)

This is not quite as excellent as the Night on the Town 2-disc collector's edition as the bonus tracks are not as unique or interesting, but like Night, it comes in excellent packaging, and features enough decent bonus stuff to recommend "double dipping." Pretty much essential for Rod Stewart fans, and anyone whose every loved this album.
