About this album
Smiler shows Rod Stewart stretching his early-70s rock-and-soul formula with grit, swagger and a loose, unfussy band feel. Issued in 1974, the album blends originals with sharply chosen covers, including a version of Johnny Bristol’s '(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Man' and a reading of Bob Dylan’s 'Girl from the North Country', alongside Stewart-written material. It followed his breakthrough run with the Faces and the solo success that made him one of Britain’s biggest stars. The album’s mix of rootsy rock, blues and acoustic touches reflects an artist comfortable moving between raw R&B energy and more reflective songwriting.
