5.0 out of 5 stars MORE GREAT ROD ROCK, May 16, 2003

Volume 2 contains more great rock tracks from the early Rod Stewart, including his interpretations of folk classics like Man Of Constant Sorrow and Reason to Believe plus rock standards like That's Allright. His deep voice was so right for the time, his material was top quality and he sang with conviction. My other favourites include the wistful Tomorrow Is A Long Time and the majestic Mandolin Wind. I'm not crazy about Twistin' The Night Away, Natural Man or Sweet Little Rock 'n Roller but that's no big deal - there's more than enough gold here to satisfy all fans of genuine early 70s rock. But be sure to get Best Of Vol. One too for his other classics from the period such as You Wear It Well, What Made Milwaukee Famous and Maggie May. If Rod had carried on like this, he would have been as big as Elvis now. Nfortunately he chose the MoR route which ensured him success for a time, and then faded. This great collection is a showcase of what was and what could have been - a guaranteed listening pleasure for fans of real rock.

This is the Rod that could have been sitting in your living room with an acousitc guitar. If you latched onto Rod after 1980, take a step back and hear what you missed. This is a great "Best Of." Start with #1 and then move to #2. And Rod...Thank You.

The review in Stereo Review October 1998 (p.90) says it best. Good value and excellent remastering!
