my one and only fun fact relating to this album: one day back in the early 00's, out of nowhere rod stewart followed me on twitter. i have no idea why, but when i checked a good while later, he was still following. apart from that, the only experience i have with rod stewart is distinctly not liking his music. so this has been fun. on the other hand, i have a thing for covers - and i have always loved the song memphis, which i knew via johnny rivers (see: https://open.spotify.com/track/5QqdnAVnNCfWp9CZ3pi5a0). the original is, of course, also fantastic: https://open.spotify.com/track/3UYtylPa55RqHS1YDGZoLs and...ok, fine, the guitar tone on that's all you need is pretty damn nice. i am a sucker that growly slide thing, and homey rips it up on that track but i still don't like rod stewart, dammit.
