Review: Time by Rod Stewart

May 23, 2013 by Taylor Leave a Comment

On Mondays and Fridays each week, I spend over 3 hours in my car one direction either going to work or coming back home from work. 3 hours is a lot of time to listen to some good tunes, a book on “tape”, chat with friends on the phone or just have silence to hear/listen to my thoughts. Recently on my trip home, I had a guest. None other than Mr. Rod Stewart himself. Singing a solo performance just for me. And man was I needing that serenade.

I am a big Rod Stewart fan. I own several of his CDs including the 1996 “If We Fall in Love Tonight” which is one of my favorites. A few of my favorite songs by Rod include: Forever Young, Maggie May, Have I Told You Lately, Young Turks, Rhythm of the Heart and Downtown Train.

Rod Stewart

I was excited to be able to preview his latest album, Time. And he did not disappoint. Every single tune was classic Rod. The opening song “She Makes Me Happy” had me wanting to get out of my car and dance. “Time” was classic Rod. What I love about Rod is that he has managed to stay true to himself in an ever changing rock and roll industry. When I think about Rod, this is what I picture…a laid back guy and his guitar. And man is he still a looker or what??

Rod’s latest album did not disappoint and I highly recommend you adding it to your music collection. You can find his album on Amazon or iTunes. This is Rod’s first album of new music in over 20 years! 11 of the 12 tracks on this CD were written and produced by him and again, it is classic Rod.

What you’ll find on this CD:
1. She Makes Me Happy
2. Can’t Stop Me Now
3. It’s Over
4. Brighton Beach
5. Beautiful Morning
6. Live The Life
7. Finest Woman
8. Time
9. Picture In A Frame
10. Sexual Religion
11. Make Love To Me Tonight
12. Pure Love

Follow Rod on Twitter and tell him how excited you are to get your hands on his latest CD.

I like big books…

yea…I have no idea why I just said that. It’s late and I’m at Starbucks typing this post because my hotel is being retarded with their internet. I’m being random. That’s my excuse. The sky is full of lightning. It’s beautiful right now. Cause there is no thunder associated with it. Which means it’s further away from me. Like my rationalization??

I created my first youtube video with my new “vlogging” space but I haven’t had a chance to get it uploaded yet. #bloggerfail

Last night I hosted a twitter party from my trusty iPhone. I’m awesome like that. Seriously though, that was terrible. And to make things worse, twitter was having issues. So much so that the twitter party I was participating in from my phone got cancelled half-way through because of twitter. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one having a bad night.

My online book club, Literary Junkies, (co-hosted by myself and Lesley) is starting to read “The Silver Linings Playbook” by Matthew Quick. We’ll be chatting about it next month on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7pm CST (shameless plug). I’m enjoying it so far. Have you read it or seen the movie? I want to see the movie but won’t until after I finish reading it. And I’m sure I’ll be disappointed but I have a small crush on Bradley Cooper so I’ll just suck it up. And take one for the team.

Speaking of movies, have y’all seen The Great Gatsby yet? I saw it the first weekend which is a miracle in and of itself. I rarely go to the movies these days, let alone to opening weekend of something. Is that a sign of me getting old? Okay, don’t answer that question. Anyways, I really enjoyed it. Wished I would’ve seen it in 3D, but it was still awesome in 2D.

I know I’m going to be up for awhile tonight cause I’m drinking a Tai Chea Latte. Did you catch my mistake there? Yeah, I always say that now when I order this drink. The first time I said it, I did so with a straight face. If it helps you out at all, I didn’t know I said it the wrong way. It came out sounding right to me. The Starbucks dude just looked at me funny. Well, now I do it on purpose to see how they react. You should try it sometime.

I’ve decided I need a vacation. Like yesterday. Who’s with me on this??

Okay, that’s all I’ve got lovely readers of mine. You’ve got some work to do in answering the questions above. See, I’m checking if you were paying attention. Cause I’m sneaky like that. I leave you with a flashback photo of me in high school. My senior year. Circa 1999. I’ll give you a hint. I’m in the lavender dress. See that camera? Yeah, that’s what they used to call a point and shoot. With 35mm film.
