| In recording 1984's CAMOUFLAGE, Rod Stewart's greatest accomplishment was getting old friend & employer Jeff Beck to join him on three songs. The most successful is the fiery "Infatuation," one of two Top 10 hits for Stewart, who barely cracked the Top 15 with anything off his previous album BODY WISHES. Stewart's choice of producer, Amy Grant knob-turner Michael Omartian, meant CAMOUFLAGE was awash in synthesizers and the band was made up of facile studio musicians. Gone were the rootsier excursions from earlier in his career, replaced by glossier numbers such as the title track with its Earth, Wind & Fire-like horns, and an idiosyncratic reading of Free's "All Right Now," with the bumps and wrinkles of the original smoothly ironed out. Still, Stewart's unabashed romanticism could not be quelled. "Trouble" finds him cooing lovingly over a bank of lighter-than-air keyboards, while on the endearingly poppy "Some Guys Have All The Luck," Stewart sings his heart out. |

Artist/Group
| Overview |
| Rod Stewart first gained notoriety as vocalist in the Jeff Beck Group in the late 1960s. He went on to sing for raucous bar-room rockers the Faces and started a simultaneous solo career that eventually eclipsed that of his band. Moving from folk-rock through pop, disco, jazz and more, Stewart carved out a multi-decade career as a strutting, soul-influenced singer with equal amounts of talent and charisma, and piled up an astonishing number of hit singles and platinum albums. Stewart's career has seen more than one rebirth; in 1993 his acoustic UNPLUGGED performance brought him renewed acclaim as a sensitive song interpreter. Ten years later, with the help of Clive Davis, he gained even more notoriety as a smooth crooner of orchestrated jazz standards. |
