these old Rod Stewart albums are just magical, they are romantic and so touching. I think his best cover was I Know I'm Losing You from this same album, but it also has Tomorrow is Such a Long Time by Dylan. But every track on this album is brilliant, and most of Raincoat, Gasoline Alley, and Never a Dull Moment are brilliant too. Very direct, emotional, simple rock-folk songs. Mandolin Wind, Gasoline Alley, True Blue, .... are not to be missed. Just get some wine, friends, maybe a fireplace and listen to those albums.
Great choice Angela, this is off Rod's best album, Every Picture Tells a Story. Do the title track, it is as good as this one. He was at his creative zenith in this era and earned his true super stardom then. Nice job as usual, nice to hear this again! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Thanks.. funny what memories come from specific tracks… this takes me back to when my sister and I were teens, she had a Rod Stewart record. I remember then my father, hearing it, said something that surprised me at the time. He said: “You don’t have to have a great voice to be a great singer.” That thought stuck with me as an odd general life lesson. Thanks again, keep it rolling, Angela, this is great.
First of all, the entire album is fantastic from start to finish. The instrumentation, arrangements, and production are top-tier. The organ gives it that gospel feel, and the violin and piano coming in and out at various times add a great touch as needed. GREAT song. Stay strong. Hugs.
My wife is 66 years old and she loves watching your expression listening to the songs that she grew up with those were real songs with real lyrics made sense and were some of the greatest singers from Elvis all the way through to even some of the new stuff but it still was the best ERA to be born in
The Faces (Rod Stewart) and Stones from 69 to 73. Never any better rock n roll white boy soul. Take all their albums (band, solo, live) from that time and sit back and enjoy. Magic
I agree. But I like the unplugged version where Rod plays banjo while Ron Wood plays guitar. I never knew Rod could play an instrument until I saw that video, it's great. But I'm like you, I love "Mandolin Wind". Peace. 🤔🤗😎
Violin and fiddle are the same thing. In country it's called a fiddle. I think this is a mandolin, which is similar to both. Don't apologize about catching feelings that's what music does in bringing back and holding memories. Like TIME IN A BOTTLE by Jim Croce sang. There is a song called MANDOLIN WIND on this same record if you care to react to it. Also, the title track, EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY will give you the Rod Stewart we used to love to rock to. Your channel is honest because of you. Don't change. Enjoy the music.
No, it is a violin. A mandolin has a similar sound, but it is played like a guitar, not with a bow. Here, you can hear the bow strokes. The instrument in Mandolin Wind is a mandolin.
@@kevincaulder20 It happens to us all. I once gave people the impression that I had lost twenty pounds in one week, without changing my diet, by walking five miles a day. I guess I forgot to mention that it was over the course of the summer that I lost the weight. I walked two and a half miles to and from work, five days a week. I got some very angry replies.
@@christinerobinson9372 I have a friend who always accompanies her vocals with a mandolin...she plays it unusually, not really guitar or violin but her own hybrid style, tends to pick out individual notes but also strums and also sometimes taps on it....she also rigs up her own homemade speaker devices, or stuff that serves that purpose...it's really a trip...
If you picked it up at a swap meet for $50.00, it's a fiddle. If you purchased it in a music store for $500.00, it's a violin. Apart from the price tag, it's the same ax.
Rod Stewart is a rocker who has been around since around 1962 but really got going in 1967 with a group Jeff Beck Group. Absolute rocker in my opinion. Another group who covered this were Carpenters. Love all your reactions. 😄
Though I've never been a Rod Stewart fan, I have always been a fan of this recording of this song by him. I mean, like, since about 8th grade I've loved this song. Still moves me, just as it did then.
It’s funny how diverse and prolific Rod Stewart was in 1971.. he put out this solo record plus he sang with The Faces.They had a hit Stay With Me that same year… He has another great cover of The First Cut IS the Deepest. Actually his career has a lot of great covers in every decade in every genre…
This song always wets my eyes as well but for different reasons than you but that’s what great music does, brings back feelings and memories. People been asking the question violin vs fiddle for a hundred years so no reason to be embarrassed.
He, like so many, for me it's their early works that were their best works (Elton John comes to mind, YES). But they are still creating and good for them. I just heard 10 min. ago that maybe the best Showman of all time, along with the greatest songwriter of all time, Paul McCartney just passed away. Very sad, but there is no doubt there is a Heaven with so many good loving souls there to greet him. He is way better off where he is now. Speaking for BILLIONS, thanks Paul for spreading such good music and good messages for generations to all of us to listen to when we need your words and music. God Bless you, Paul.
ROD STEWART/FACES, Cover songs that I like. "Broken Arrow" "I'd Rather Go Blind" "People Get Ready" "The First Cut Is The Deepest" "I Know I'm Losing You"
we'd dance to this stuff in the summer at this big thirties dance hall on a lake launch site that when I was boogying in the sixties and seventies was more of a rock joint but this would be on the jukebox between band nights when kids would just hitchhike, bike or whatever to attend huge sock hops...it had other little buildings where you could play pinball, and jukeboxes, or another one, beer or wine I think, I was good, or smuggled in my own underage hootch................this number had the ability to make me cry inside, being a guy at that time that wasn't necessarily a good thing, so you kept it to yourself, or walked away, outside and hung out on the sprawling gravel parking lot where you could switch gears to flirting and more sometimes....
Angela, your taste in music is excellent, even if you often don`t know the songs ..Rod was at his best in the beginning of his career, this is one of his best albums
Touching and moving the Tim Hardin original is justthis much better, but this is one of Rodney's best covers. Try Tim doing his other big hit original,and perhaps more recognizable, "If I Were A Carpeter".
Rod Stewart is a very unique vocalist who has a number of successful covers as well as some songs of his own. As for the violin versus fiddle, the primary difference is in the style played. With the violin, it is played in classical, orchestral and symphonic performances. With the fiddle, you find it being used in country, bluegrass, Cajun and folk music. As far as I know, there are no differences between the bodies and the necks of the instruments, but I think the bridge might be flatter on the fiddle.
I didn't know that the bridge might be different, flatter, on a fiddle. That's interesting, thank you. Dayone says that she can hear a difference. Interesting! So, I had to look it up and yes, a fiddle can have a lower bridge, making it easier to play two notes at once. The lower bridge is favored by Irish fiddle players. Otherwise, all parts of a fiddle and a violin are the same.
Violin and fiddles are the same instrument. While violins are generally called that by classical musicians and country folks call them fiddles, there are a number of SERIOUS classical musicians who also call them "fiddles." Matter of taste I guess. This song is interesting in that it is almost like a musical round. It doesn't have a traditional chorus and never completely seems to resolve, but it is amazing in its simplicity and lyrical content. Nice interpretative job by Rod.
A fiddle is played by country music artists and a violin is played by everyone else.😊😊 It is the same instrument, no difference at all. Edit: I have since learned that a fiddle may have a lower bridge, making it easier to produce two notes at once by bowing across two strings at the same time. We learn something new every day!
you are allowed to feel your feelings..some of the old music I listen has me crying like the proverbial baby, with no warning..it`s hard, but I love it
A great fiddle/violin player will always get you right in the feels! 😍 I can highly recommend the legendary Stephan Grappelli playing literally anything! The guy was absolute perfection on the violin, especially his work with the equally legendary Django Reinhardt, on guitar!!
Classic! Dig that rockin' violin! "Every Picture Tells a Story" is a really great record -- "Every Picture Tells a Story", "Seems Like a Long Time", "That's All Right / Amazing Grace", "Tomorrow Is a Long Time", "Henry", "Maggie May", "Mandolin Wind", "(I Know) I'm Losing You", and "(Find a) Reason to Believe". Released in 1971, "Maggie May" was the lead single from Rod Stewart's third studio album. I remember hearing it on the radio a lot as a kid in the seventies and bought myself a copy of the album in the late eighties that I used to play all the time for years -- well into the nineties. Every song on that album is classic. That album ranks with The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers. Ron Wood plays lead guitar on it. He would join The Rolling Stones a few years later. Dick Powell plays the violin parts. Cheer up Angela. You can be sure that thousands upon thousands of people tear up listening to the songs on this album. But the other songs on it rock and roll the listener in preparation for the heartache in songs like "Reason to Believe".
Wow, the original version was among the first songs I ever learned, back when knowing four chords meant you were a guitar player, lolllll. 😂🤣 Powerful memories here, thank you Angela. ✌️🌹😇 Again, no apologies needed! Most of the folks I held dear are gone now, all had particular music associated with them. It still hurts hearing some songs, but, you know, we're supposed to celebrate the ones we lost. Music is a part of that celebration. In this instance, back when I was still a Lil' squirt getting the hang of playing acoustic guitar, my girl cousin used to sing along with her strong soprano voice. She passed away last year, that voice will sing no longer. Yeah, the memory hurts, but I make myself remember to be grateful for what we had instead of what I lost. 😢 I know it takes time, but be gentle with yourself. In response to your last question, I prefer the Tim Harden version. Rod Stewart was a great performer, but I personally think this one was over-orchestrated, too much butter in the cake, as it were. 🤓🤗
This was syupposed to be the big hit for Stewart, but the B side of this single was Maggie May was probably his biggest hit and his signature song, thanks to some DJs who gave Maggie the air play. Those days of radio are over. There was no one better than the early Rod Stewart. Then he went the Do You Think I;m Sexy route.
While I'm not a big fan of the fiddle/violin, I absolutely love it on this song! I had almost forgotten about this Stewart cover until you decided to react to it. So thank you very much! Mostly I had been listening to Stewart's other gems from the same album such as "Tomorrow is Such a Long Time" (that also has a fiddle contribution), and Mandolin Wind. Its not often you will find rock stars employing fiddles and mandolins in their arrangements. So Kudos to Stewart for thinking outside the box! Another 70's pop singer employed the fiddle in his 1973 song, "Travelin' Prayer" by Billy Joel. And The Beatles did as well in their 1968 song, "Don't Pass Me By" sung by Ringo Starr. And of course one of the most famous songs using the fiddle is "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by The Charlie Daniels Band. Lastly, there is the 1994 fiddle song, "Cotton Eye Joe" by Rednex.
I can name that singer in "one" note. Rod the Mod has hundreds of hit songs. If cover songs is the deal...try Rod's I know I'm Losing You and Twisting the NIght Away.
I know what you mean about songs and bittersweet memories. My wife passed away almost twenty years ago and I had to drop two Bob Dylan songs from my repertoire when I played out, "Forever Young" and "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go", because would start to choke up. Not good when you're singing or blowing on the harmonica :) I prefer not to make a choice on this one. If I had to, I'd give the edge to Tim Hardin's version, but they are both excellent.
.......violins and fiddles are the exact same instrument. The term 'fiddle' comes from the Medieval era when its Old German name was 'fiedel'. A mandolin is entirely different. You can hear one prominently on Rod Stewart's song "Mandolin Wind"......
This is an okay version. As you say that wouldn't be on my playlist to play over and over. Glen Campbell did a good version of this song if you want to listen to it.
They are the same instrument, and typically you'll hear `fiddle` used in folk and country music and violin for pretty much everything else. So is it a fiddle or a violin in this song? Either works!
Same instrument fiddle / violin. Name determined by genera. If it's country, blue grass, creole, cajun, ztdeco it's a fiddle. Most other generas, it's a violin.
There isn't a difference between a fiddle and a violin… at least not physically. The difference between a fiddle and a violin is simply in the style of music they are used to play.
Listen to the original Tim Hardin version... Also Tim Hardin's If I Were a Carpenter original. Actually just listen to some Tim Hardin period. One of the great song writers of all time.
As one would naturally suspect (and expect) the Carpenters version of this song, with Karen on lead vocal, is unsurpassed - from their 1970 "Close To You" album - Rod's is the wrong one to compare...
What's ironic is that Stewart did another remake of this song in the late 1990's or early 2000's! My favorite by him is Maggie Mae and Do You Think I'm Sexy?! Don't feel ackward, some situations make me misty and nostalgic! I can relate on some level!
Angela, you should check out the Carpenters version of this song. It has a much better arrangement and of course, better singing by Karen. I believe there’s a live lipsync on youtube
Violin and fiddle are the same instrument except the Strings?? Orchestras will use Organic or Composite Strings.. Blue Grass and Country use Steel Strings for a different resonance in sounds 🤠👍✌️♥️ Enjoy your adventures in Music 🎶
Rod has another great cover of a Temptation's song "(I Know) I'm Losing You" on this album. He does a fantastic job with it. Do you know the Temptations version? It might be an excellent choice to listen to the original first and then the cover maybe. Rod's version ruclips.net/video/1p-WDv2sLTw/видео.html
I'm 66 & still in awe of the music from the 70s, I see you are too!
Bringing up memories… that’s the power of music.
these old Rod Stewart albums are just magical, they are romantic and so touching.

My dad thought Rod sounded like a chicken being strangled, I love early Rod .
I remember buying this album in 71, in my Baltimore neighborhood with two friends. Love every song on it!
The Rod Stewart Album and Every Picture Tells a Story are probably 2 of his best...
First of all, the entire album is fantastic from start to finish. The instrumentation, arrangements, and production are top-tier. The organ gives it that gospel feel, and the violin and piano coming in and out at various times add a great touch as needed. GREAT song. Stay strong. Hugs.
This song, "Maggie May", "You wear it well", great stuff!
If you wearing blue jeans in a country band, it’s a fiddle… if you’re in a tux, in a symphony orchestra, same instrument is a violin
Beautiful recording of a great song
My wife is 66 years old and she loves watching your expression listening to the songs that she grew up with those were real songs with real lyrics made sense and were some of the greatest singers from Elvis all the way through to even some of the new stuff but it still was the best ERA to be born in

Touching reaction, not too many of those on RUclips, lovely..
This is an excellent album.
56 years of listening to music, I've never heard anybody else do this song.
If you picked it up at a swap meet for $50.00, it's a fiddle.

ROD STEWART/FACES, Cover songs that I like.
"Broken Arrow"
"I'd Rather Go Blind"
"People Get Ready"
"The First Cut Is The Deepest"
"I Know I'm Losing You"
That’s what brilliant music does. This was one of your finer reactions IMHO. A brave post. Thank you.
It’s a great song but it’s a tough listen. It really does stir up old memories. Knowing that you lied, straight faced, while I cried.
Love you... Great song, great album !!
Tim Hardin was a great writer! Thx!
we'd dance to this stuff in the summer at this big thirties dance hall on a lake launch site that when I was boogying in the sixties and seventies was more of a rock joint but this would be on the jukebox between band nights when kids would just hitchhike, bike or whatever to attend huge sock hops...it had other little buildings where you could play pinball, and jukeboxes, or another one, beer or wine I think, I was good, or smuggled in my own underage hootch................this number had the ability to make me cry inside, being a guy at that time that wasn't necessarily a good thing, so you kept it to yourself, or walked away, outside and hung out on the sprawling gravel parking lot where you could switch gears to flirting and more sometimes....
but best of all check out the cover by sixties cult icon Karen Dalton........it's by far the best...in my humble estimation...............
Only version I’ve ever heard, but I think this song is awesome and I think this is Rod’s best album
great acoustic warmth and total sincerity.
Angela, your taste in music is excellent, even if you often don`t know the songs ..Rod was at his best in the beginning of his career, this is one of his best albums
Rod is a great singer. I think his best cover is Downtown Train by Tom Waits. Great, great song.

Usually, when Rod does your song, he makes it his, FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST, IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG.
It’s what music is for
you are allowed to feel your feelings..some of the old music I listen has me crying like the proverbial baby, with no warning..it`s hard, but I love it
A great fiddle/violin player will always get you right in the feels! 😍
I can highly recommend the legendary Stephan Grappelli playing literally anything!
The guy was absolute perfection on the violin, especially his work with the equally legendary Django Reinhardt, on guitar!!
Carpenters did a cover in 1970 on their Album Close To You ❤
Classic! Dig that rockin' violin! "Every Picture Tells a Story" is a really great record -- "Every Picture Tells a Story", "Seems Like a Long Time", "That's All Right / Amazing Grace", "Tomorrow Is a Long Time", "Henry", "Maggie May", "Mandolin Wind", "(I Know) I'm Losing You", and "(Find a) Reason to Believe".

3:56 Rod's trademark "ooh"
This was syupposed to be the big hit for Stewart, but the B side of this single was Maggie May was probably his biggest hit and his signature song, thanks to some DJs who gave Maggie the air play.

From a wonderful album Every picture tells a story. The violin player´s name is Dick Powell.

Another 70's pop singer employed the fiddle in his 1973 song, "Travelin' Prayer" by Billy Joel. And The Beatles did as well in their 1968 song, "Don't Pass Me By" sung by Ringo Starr. And of course one of the most famous songs using the fiddle is "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by The Charlie Daniels Band. Lastly, there is the 1994 fiddle song, "Cotton Eye Joe" by Rednex.
That happens to me too Angela ))))))
I like both versions, stay strong.
I can name that singer in "one" note. Rod the Mod has hundreds of hit songs. If cover songs is the deal...try Rod's I know I'm Losing You and Twisting the NIght Away.
A prime example of the original by Tim Hardin, being mangled beyond recognition
This was a mandolin, Rod loved the mandolin. Saw him 17 times since early 70s❤
Wouldn't call it a cover, because Rod made it famous.
Rod did a lot of great songs. Try "The Motown Song."
I think the only difference between a violin and a fiddle is how it's played.
We Irish say the difference between a violin and a fiddle is whiskey
Karen Dalton.....Reason to Believe....best cover, maybe written for her??
Forgive me if someone else already said this, but violins have strings and fiddles have strangs.
I know what you mean about songs and bittersweet memories. My wife passed away almost twenty years ago and I had to drop two Bob Dylan songs from my repertoire when I played out, "Forever Young" and "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go", because would start to choke up.

I prefer not to make a choice on this one. If I had to, I'd give the edge to Tim Hardin's version, but they are both excellent.
You may like Eva Cassidy singing Over the Rainbow. Be prepared to cry.
Best cover by Wilson Phillips - melodic, harmonic and heartbreaking💔! lol
I even like the live version he did in his "Rod Stewart Unplugged" album better than this original recording, you should give that a listen.
Great song. Rod has such a unique texture to his voice.
I heard the difference between a fiddle and violin is how much you’re selling it for.
.......violins and fiddles are the exact same instrument. The term 'fiddle' comes from the Medieval era when its Old German name was 'fiedel'. A mandolin is entirely different. You can hear one prominently on Rod Stewart's song "Mandolin Wind"......
Do you have "All Along the Watchtower" on your list. Probably the best cover of all time
Every Picture Tells A Story is a great album.
Oh, I hope you will do The Carpenters version in 1970 or 1971.
This is an okay version. As you say that wouldn't be on my playlist to play over and over. Glen Campbell did a good version of this song if you want to listen to it.
They are the same instrument, and typically you'll hear `fiddle` used in folk and country music and violin for pretty much everything else. So is it a fiddle or a violin in this song? Either works!
If you want to play in Texas you gotta have a fiddle in the band
You should try the original by Tim Hardin,also his if I were a carpenter and Misty roses
Same instrument fiddle / violin. Name determined by genera. If it's country, blue grass, creole, cajun, ztdeco it's a fiddle. Most other generas, it's a violin.

Listen to the original Tim Hardin version... Also Tim Hardin's If I Were a Carpenter original. Actually just listen to some Tim Hardin period. One of the great song writers of all time.
As far as I know the difference is just technique between a violin and fennel. Just the playing technique.
As one would naturally suspect (and expect) the Carpenters version of this song, with Karen on lead vocal, is unsurpassed - from their 1970 "Close To You" album - Rod's is the wrong one to compare...
What's ironic is that Stewart did another remake of this song in the late 1990's or early 2000's! My favorite by him is Maggie Mae and Do You Think I'm Sexy?!
Don't feel ackward, some situations make me misty and nostalgic! I can relate on some level!
Why is that ironic?
Angela, you should check out the Carpenters version of this song. It has a much better arrangement and of course, better singing by Karen. I believe there’s a live lipsync on youtube
Look up and listen to the 1966 cover version done by Karen Dalton, and read her story.
Carpenters do a nice cover as well.
Violin and fiddle are the same instrument except the Strings??
Orchestras will use Organic or Composite Strings..
Blue Grass and Country use Steel Strings for a different resonance in sounds 🤠👍✌️♥️
Enjoy your adventures in Music 🎶

A Fiddle is a Violin that has had some good ole American whiskey and beer spilled on it.
Rod has another great cover of a Temptation's song "(I Know) I'm Losing You" on this album. He does a fantastic job with it. Do you know the Temptations version? It might be an excellent choice to listen to the original first and then the cover maybe. Rod's version ruclips.net/video/1p-WDv2sLTw/видео.html
u should listen to the original by Tim Hardin
Good song but I always found that organ to be too loud and intrusive. Sounds much better at the end where the organ is gone.

I am pretty sure no musicians watch your channel
a violin is usually played under the chin
a fiddle is usually held in the crook of the arm
