The one hundred ninety-fifth album: #195 Rod Stewart - Gasoline Alley

It's weird to listen to Gasoline Alley as a 1970 rock album - on all levels,it feels more like something from the early 1960s, with a blues feel, simpler subjects and a sound that goes back to old rock and roll. Sure, it's gentler and the country feel has some appeal, but we've seen how this can be showier and bigger, even without losing that aspect, and this album loses out for that reason - it's not worth it enough for me.
