Details: Product Description Rod returns with an exceptional new album that finds one of the world's greatest vocalists returning to his rock & roll roots. Not only has he recorded brilliant interpretations of material by such great contemporary songwriters as Nick Lowe and Graham Parker, he's also transformed tunes by such current British bands as Oasis and Primal Scream. Rod's new recording of the classic Faces song "Ooh La La" is the album's 1st single/video. Major US tour begins in July. Amazon.ca Sure, it sounds kind of hokey on paper. The concept of Rod the Mod attempting to revisit his Faces/ Every Picture Tells a Story glory days via a transfusion of hip new cover material. Surprise goal! This experiment actually works, and the raspy old rooster is crowing like he hasn't in years on Primal Scream's "Rocks," Oasis's "Cigarettes and Alcohol," Graham Parker's "Hotel Chambermaid," and even a retro-fitted bagpipe take on the Faces' vintage standbys "Ooh La La." The title track works as a nice snapshot of memory lane, taken by one of rock's most legendary (and lately sorely overlooked) talents. Not exactly a second childhood, but it'll do. --Tom Lanham
