Rod

The Autobiography

De: Rod Stewart

Narrado por: Simon Vance

The extraordinary life and career of music legend Rod Stewart, in his own words for the first time.
 
With his soulful and singular voice, narrative songwriting, and passionate live performances Rod Stewart has paved one of the most iconic and successful music careers of all time. He was the charismatic lead singer for the trailblazing rock and roll bands The Jeff Beck Group and The Faces, and as a solo artist, the author of such beloved songs as "Maggie May," "Tonight’s the Night," "Hot Legs," "Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?," "Young Turks," "Forever Young," and "You Wear It Well."  Now after more than five decades in the spotlight, he is finally ready to take a candid and romping look back at his life both on and off the stage. From his humble British roots to his hell-raising years on tour with his bandmates, not forgetting his great loves (including three marriages and eight children) and decades touring the world, Rod delivers a riveting ride through one of rock's most remarkable lives.

Entertaining life story

Admittedly, I’m not the biggest Rod Stewart fan, but I love musician biographies so I gave it a shot. Overall, it was an enjoyable listen with excellent narration.

Fascinating Life Story

I was pleased that the author was the narrator. It is, by far, one of the most honest autobiographies I've ever read. This is one of those books that you just don't want to put down.

Incredible story...Incredible man!

Would you consider the audio edition of Rod to be better than the print version?

The audio edition is a MUST. The narrator was perfect - he definitely captured Rod's personality and at times...I really thought it was Rod telling the story himself.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rod?

Discovering where his songs came from....those moments of his life that were put into music.

What about Simon Vance’s performance did you like?

It certainly was NOT a boring narration as some audible books tend to be. His accent, play on words, and his incredible timing made you feel like you were sitting across from him while he was telling the story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Any additional comments?

This is an AUDIBLE MUST! I recently downloaded another biography of a famous rock and roller, but within a day or two I returned it. It was so dreadfully boring and horribly narrated.
