A Night on the Town is Rod Stewart`s seventh album, released in 1976. The cover art is based on Pierre-Auguste Renoir`s painting Bal du moulin de la Galette, with Stewart inserted in the centre in period costume. On 30 June 2009, Rhino reissued the album as a two-disc CD with bonus tracks. A Night on the Town was Stewart`s last UK number-one studio album until Time in 2013.
Leer másThe album is regarded as one of Stewart`s finest. "The Killing of Georgie" is one of Stewart`s most hard-hitting sets of lyrics, a melancholic tale of a gay friend who is cast out by his family and becomes a sensation in the New York nightlife, only to be murdered by a New Jersey gang during an attempted robbery. Controversial "Tonight`s the Night" was a No. 1 hit but was banned by some radio stations due to the very obvious lyrics about sex and loss of virginity. A cover of Cat Stevens` "The First Cut Is the Deepest" was also a success and has since become one of Stewart`s signature songs.
