About

Rod Stewart aimed for hips and hearts on this 1977 album. Opening track “Hot Legs” has grinding guitars that you feel in your pelvis and lyrics that are all licked lips and arched eyebrows. But he soon turns in two of his finest ballads: “I Was Only Joking” examines his past over a lovely descending melody, while “You’re In My Heart (The Final Acclaim)” is a stirring tribute to former girlfriend Britt Ekland, with Stewart cheekily ranking her above his favorite football teams.
