Editorial Review:
Sure, it sounds kind of hokey on paper. The concept of Rod the Mod attempting to revisit his Faces/Every Picture Tells a Story glory days via a transfusion of hip new cover material. But surprise! This experiment actually works, and the raspy old rooster is crowing like he hasn't in years on Primal Scream's "Rocks," Oasis's "Cigarettes and Alcohol," Graham Parker's "Hotel Chambermaid," and even a bagpipe retro-fitted take on the Faces' vintage standby "Ooh La La." The title track works as a nice snapshot of memory lane, taken by one of rock's most legendary (and lately sorely overlooked) talents. Not exactly a second childhood, but it'll do. --Tom Lanham

Rating:  - Excellent.This guy really knows how to rock!
I wasn't a Rod Stewart fan before I heard this album. It is an absolute cracker and never fails to cheer me up when I need it. A great collection of songs, a good solid guitarist and a good range of session musicians, including The Corrs before they were famous all with Rod singing to bust a gut make this a first class good-time-rock-and-roll album. Good to know that Jeff "Skunk" Baxter is still around on the music scene (when he is not working with U.S. defence). He plays a nice pedal steel guitar ... Read More
Rating: - I love Rod....age sucks....I want the old Rod back...
Not sure how I missed this cd. I left the country early 98, and returned 5 years later to Rod singing waltz type music. I thought it was a joke. I'm a huge fan of Rod since the age of 14 and am now 39, but never bought the song book series. I've been tempted to buy them just to try them out, but haven't yet. I did buy his newest "still the same" cd. I like it, but it's not the Rod I remember. It's great for his age and appropriate, but when I stumbled across "When We Were the New Boys" today ...

Rating:  - Will the real Rod Stewart PLEASE stand up!
An outstanding release that should have stopped him making the current "songbook" crap he's shoving out now. The 1st three cuts flat out rock in a way Rod hasn't done in years. As cheap as you can pick this up used, you owe it to yourself to check it out.
Rating: - Kick`s in many direction this one, but has flaire and style.
This is rock& roooool man !. Rod Stewart goes back to his roots on this, and kicks off with track 1 Cigaretts and Alcohol, and what a stunning opener. This is probably traditonal rock and roll, but anyway sets a standard trough the CD. Track 2 Oh La La is a more traditonal song, with a very good melody, which bring`s thought`s to the scootish
folk music, with fiddles and a seldom instrument called
bodran. Realy soul in this one. Track 3 Rocks is not up there. It`s similar in style with ... Read More
Rating: - Sounds fine to me!
Hey, I'm a 51 year old rocker who grew up on Rod Stewart so's I find his later 80's and 90's output just fine (with the exception of a few). Here, I'm not familiar with the original work of Oasis or Primal Scream,et al...nor do I feel I need to be. I picked this cd up in the amazon.com marketplace for very little and it is a welcome addition to my collection. By the way,if you surf the web and research through the ALL MUSIC GUIDE (as one example) you can cull out the REAL bad stuff and find the majority ... Read More
