Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Rod Stewart's diverse and enduring career started
in the British blues-rock movement of the 60s. Huge success with the Jeff Beck
Group and Faces followed before solo superstardom came in the 70s. His
inimitable voice one of the most distinctive in contemporary music is as
suited to raucous rockers as soulful ballads, and
today, Stewart is a respected interpreter of the
American popular songbook as well. Spanning
1975-2001, this 18-track collection mines the
riches of his Warner Bros. era, featuring standouts
including Tonight I'm Yours, The First
Cut Is The Deepest, People Get Ready, and
a live version of Havin A Party with former
Faces mate Ronnie Wood. Track-by-track
commentary from Stewart is also included!

Summary: Well...
Comment: I do love a lot of his songs, not particularily himself so much, sorry for that fact, but!!: I do love" I don't want to talk about it" Great song, great feeling, arrangement, lyrics and melody...all goes so well...thats worth buying it...and for the other hits of course too. I mean, after all it is Rod Stewart and deserves a Greatest Hits...Part 2...not many Artiusts can say that about themselves!

Summary: Even Better Than Volume One
Comment: Anyone knows that one disc can't possibly hold all of Rod Stewart's best songs, so naturally a second volume will have to be made. "Encore: The Very Best Of - Vol. 2" adds 18 Stewart classics not found on 2001's "The Very Best Of Rod Stewart". This disc has some great stuff on it, and is actually slightly better than the first volume.
"Encore" features pretty much every significant hit not featured on the first volume, from the soulful "The Motown Song" to the turbo charged rocker "Lost In You" to the new wave synth pop chugger "Baby Jane" to the somber " I Was Only Joking", you will find that you will love every song on this cd (even the much criticized "Love Touch" (which is one of my all time favorites). This set is also notable for inckuding Rod's popular on radio but otherwise hard to find cover of Carole King's "So Far Away" and "Don't Come Around Here" from 2001's "Human". Plus, anyone who's only familliar with Sheryl Crow's version of "The First Cut Is The Deepest" should really listen to Rod's version. It's truly better.
An added bonus to this disc is a booklet with commentary on each track and how it came into being, given to to you by none other than Rod. A great collection of Rod's music. Get this one as well as volume one.

Summary: Better than Volume 1 or that Greatest Hits!
Comment: I liked that he put out a second album of his greatest hits on Warner Bros. And clever since he's finishing out his contract with them because he's on J now. But this album has songs he left out on the first one. I like that Crazy About Her is on here, for I played that the most from Out of Order! Very big sound on it! Infatuation I still love. And Passion is another solid song on here. There are some bluesy numbers,some soul-driven numbers and rockers here too. I loved his version of That's What Friends are For, even if Dionne Warwick's version was a big hit in late '85. It's kind of mixed up, not in chronological order, but the songs blend well. Stewart may be on this standards thing now, but pop/rock is what he can do the best and he should go back to it for his next album. This album just demonstrates his many talents as a singer and artist.
