5.0 out of 5 stars the essential rod stewart, October 2, 2003

By	"harrisj112" (alexandria, virginia USA) - See all my reviews

The songs here remind the listener why Rod Stewart is important, not merely a flamboyant pop star whose career has been marked by some notoriously bad (but entertaining) turns. Rod interprets Bob Dylan better than anyone and the best of his Dylan work is here: Tomorrow is Such a Long Time is the most famous, but also Mama, You've Been on My Mind and a transcendent version of Girl From the North Country.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rod Stewart Ballad Album is a classic., July 5, 1998

By A Customer

From Reason to Believe to Mama You Been on My Mind and great ones in between, if you like Rod's slower stuff--you'll love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars maree, July 26, 2008

By	Maree Mcneven "stewart heaven" (queensland australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

it is a very good album unattainable in australia. so it was very good to be able to purchase it through amazon. this is one of rod stewarts older albums but it is well worth the money

“The Ballad Album

by Rod Stewart
