Gasoline Alley

by Rod Stewart

The 1596th greatest album of all time

Gasoline Alley, Rod Stewart's 1970 second solo album, leans into a rootsy mix of folk rock and blues-tinged rock with a generally acoustic, laid-back feel that contrasts with harder-edged rock of the era. The record highlights Stewart's raspy, expressive voice alongside warm guitar work and intimate, narrative songwriting, and includes contributions from Ronnie Wood and other British rock musicians who helped shape his early solo sound.
