Rod Stewart - When We Were the New Boys
When We Were the New Boys Review
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. But surprise! 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 bagpipe retro-fitted take on the Faces' vintage standby "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

Strongest effort in years

This disc was a pleasant surprise. After years of mediocre releases, this disc was strong from start to finish. I personally prefer the ballads to the rockers. "Superstar" is especially strong. Apparently there was an effort to get back to the philosophy and feel of his earlier works. Whatever the reason, this one succeeds. My only complaint...not enough original compositions.

Like Ooh La La and Shelly my Love are worthy of purchasing this cd.
