ROD STEWART...Canouflage
Released: 30 years ago, June 18, 1984
Highest Chart Position: #18 U.S. Billboard Album Charts
Track Highlights: All Right Now, Infatuation, Some Guys Have All The Luck
So many people feel like Rod Stewart hasn't put out a great album since 1977 but for me this album definitely proves that theory wrong. Sure, "Camouflage" doesn't have the gritty straight-ahead rock 'n' roll Stewart became famous for during the 70's but it still has some great moments on it, particularly the cover of the Free classic "All Right Now," which is given an excellent 80's feel with great vocals from Rod. "Bad For You" has some nice guitar work from Jeff Beck. The 2 singles, "Infatuation" and "Some Guys Have All The Luck" are good catchy pop tunes, and the final track, "Trouble' is a beautiful ballad. The Allmusic review is not flattering at all but I recommend it for sure. "Camouflage" is a good record
