In this case, the musician in question is the still active eighty year old Rod Stewart who performed no later than 10 May in concert in Milan. Rod the mod he had the opportunity and a way of revealing the songs that had formed him and hit most in the years of adolescence in 2018, a guest of Ken Bruce to the radio program of BBC Radio 2 “Tracks of My Years “.

Speaking with Ken BruceRod cited among its greatest musical influences “I Feel So Good”song of the great American bluesman Big Bill Broonzy played in 1960 by another great bluesman, Muddy Waters. “It was one of the first albums I bought. I think it was” Live at Monterey “, a live album. He also had a great influence on the Faces because we played this song. I think we recorded it and it is simply enchanting: Little Walter at the harmonica, Francis Clay, Willie Dixon on the bottom, simply poignant!”.
