Mick, Not Rod

Perhaps the most well known song on this album is “Angie” which I have met several people over the years that thought it was a Rod Stewart song. Then there is “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)” with the horns section providing a bigger sound. And “Hide Your Love” is the most blues song here on this album.
