I mean, after all it is Rod Stewart and deserves a Greatest Hits.Part 2.not many Artiusts can say that about themselves. I do love a lot of his songs, not particularily himself so much, sorry for that fact, but.: I do love" I don't want to talk about it" Great song, great feeling, arrangement, lyrics and melody.all goes so well.thats worth buying it.and for the other hits of course too.
his work comes from his heart and his soul i love everything he does. been in love with him for 20 years.
A great buy. I have enjoyed it very much. This is a great cd. The music is quality Rod Stewart at his best.
A great collection of Rod's music. An added bonus to this disc is a booklet with commentary on each track and how it came into being, given to to you by none other than Rod. It's truly better.
"Encore: The Very Best Of - Vol. This set is also notable for inckuding Rod's popular on radio but otherwise hard to find cover of Carole King's "So Far Away" and "Don't Come Around Here" from 2001's "Human". Anyone knows that one disc can't possibly hold all of Rod Stewart's best songs, so naturally a second volume will have to be made.
Plus, anyone who's only familliar with Sheryl Crow's version of "The First Cut Is The Deepest" should really listen to Rod's version. Get this one as well as volume one. 2" adds 18 Stewart classics not found on 2001's "The Very Best Of Rod Stewart".
This disc has some great stuff on it, and is actually slightly better than the first volume."Encore" features pretty much every significant hit not featured on the first volume, from the soulful "The Motown Song" to the turbo charged rocker "Lost In You" to the new wave synth pop chugger "Baby Jane" to the somber " I Was Only Joking", you will find that you will love every song on this cd (even the much criticized "Love Touch" (which is one of my all time favorites).
It's kind of mixed up, not in chronological order, but the songs blend well. I like that Crazy About Her is on here, for I played that the most from Out of Order. There are some bluesy numbers,some soul-driven numbers and rockers here too. Infatuation I still love.
I liked that he put out a second album of his greatest hits on Warner Bros. Stewart may be on this standards thing now, but pop/rock is what he can do the best and he should go back to it for his next album. I loved his version of That's What Friends are For, even if Dionne Warwick's version was a big hit in late '85. And clever since he's finishing out his contract with them because he's on J now.
And Passion is another solid song on here. This album just demonstrates his many talents as a singer and artist. But this album has songs he left out on the first one. Very big sound on it.
