Rod’s Mercury years Box set is his best era. Faces were good, but Rod’s early solo wins. I still remember hearing Maggie Mae for the first time out of the AM radio of my 67 Camaro. A gravel road and a gravel voice . BTW the Python Lee Jackson track is great.

If you saw the movie “Casino”, they prominently featured Rod with The Jeff Beck Group on “I Ain’t Superstitious”, that was a badass vocal performance.
